Eat Smart

Hopefully, you will have eaten healthily during your pregnancy, so maintaining this after the baby is born shouldn’t be too much of a struggle. You need foods to replenish you and help your body to repair. You need foods to energize you, and provide you with nutrients. This is even more important if you’re breast feeding. Batch cooking and dividing up portions for the freezer can be useful when you have a new baby. That way you always have access to healthy, home cooked food which you can simply pop in the microwave or oven.

Find a Workout Routine That Works For You

A new baby means there’s less time than ever to workout. The trick is to find a routine or activity that works for you, that you can fit in around your other commitments. Perhaps you could take a long walk around the park each day with your baby in the pram? It means you both get some fresh air and you can get your body moving, so it kills two birds with one stone. Maybe you could do an exercise DVD or follow a Youtube workout video in the evenings a couple of times a week. Don’t jump into an exercise routine too soon after having a baby, it’s suggested that you wait until after your postnatal check between six and eight weeks after giving birth.

Consider Surgery

If you’re struggling to accept your new body after childbirth, there are options for you to consider once you’re completely healed. Loose skin and stretch mark scars on the stomach can be corrected with a simple procedure. Since the skin has stretched, it will never return to how it was before, so all of the exercise in the world won’t make a difference. Sagging breasts are another common symptom of pregnancy and childbirth, an augmentation can return them to a shape and size you’re happy with. You can find out more on a site like www.roxyplasticsurgery.com/services/breast-augmentation. If you plan on having more children in the future, then it’s worth holding off on this, but if you know, you’re having no more then a surgical procedure can give you your confidence back. All women are different, some are fine accepting their scars whereas others struggle with their appearance. If it’s something that bothers you, you don’t have to live with it.

Getting back to a figure or weight you’re happy with is useful after having a baby. It’s not all about looks, rather how you feel in yourself. Being confident means, you can get back out into the world without your insecurities holding you back!
