HOW TO LOSE POST PREGNANCY TUMMY

Pregnancy brings immense joy to every mum, but it also causes significant changes to a woman’s body. The lingering “postpartum belly” can be a source of frustration.

Postpartum recovery can vary widely among women. Typically, it takes six weeks to several months for a woman’s body to begin returning to pre-pregnancy conditions.

Natural methods to reduce the post-pregnancy belly include:

  • Healthy diet
  • Safe exercise
  • Sleep and stress management

A tummy tuck can be an effective procedure for those struggling to return to their pre-pregnancy shape.

After pregnancy or significant weight loss it is quite common for there to be excess skin in the lower abdomen and muscle separation also called diastasis recti or rectus divarication. If the muscle separation persists it can cause a ‘pot belly’ appearance which can look as if you are still pregnant. Lower back pain and lack of core strength are commonly associated with this. Abdominoplasty surgery is used to remove the excess skin, repair the abdominal muscles and restore the normal anatomy of the abdominal wall. Carefully planned surgery can dramatically improve core strength and cosmetic appearance in a single operation.
