Your Body After Pregnancy – You Can and Will Look Great Again

The body you had before compared to your body after pregnancy will have changed in a number of ways. You may have gained weight, more cellulite, stretch marks, less energy and low self confidence to name but a few.

There are also a number of internal changes that happen to your body after pregnancy that will affect your every day life.

Your Pelvic floor muscles will be weak if you gave birth vaginally and simply MUST be exercised on a regular basis to bring them back to their pre baby strength. 

The hormones that allowed your baby to grow over the last nine months are potentially your enemy now.  Relaxin is this hormone and it allows connective tissue to become more flexible allowing for changes in body shape and posture.

This presents the problem of instable joints throughout the body, especially the pelvis and lower back.  The muscles in these areas should be strengthened as soon as physically possible.  Exercise after c section is also vital to aid recovery and return stability to the core.

Relaxin levels stay elevated for at least six months after pregnancy so be cautious with the types of exercise you choose to do during this time.  Avoid activities that require too much dynamic stretching or rapid twisting and bending.

The changes you have seen over the past nine months are all reversible and you are equally well equipped with the ability to return to your pre pregnancy shape. Unless you have complications, there is no reason why you can’t improve and reshape your body after pregnancy to the shape and size it was before.

The challenges you now face in improving your body after pregnancy are that you will have other priorities and demands upon your time which makes getting in shape even more difficult.

If you want a great body after pregnancy or just one you can be proud of, then take action NOW.
