Post-Partum Weight Loss

A vast majority of women discover that post-partum weight loss is quite challenging. New mothers find themselves facing a wide array of challenges to lose weight after baby's arrival.

Many women suffer from a lack of physical energy due to sleepless nights. Even nights when you sleep well, you may wake up feeling sapped of energy because frequently waking results in a lack of deep, restorative REM cycle sleep. This profound tiredness makes it very difficult to find the motivation to get up
and exercise so you can lose weight!

After baby, many women endure a slow physical recovery, especially for mothers who underwent a caesarean section. A c-section entails cutting through the abdominal wall. These thick muscles comprise your core, which can be the source of potentially excruciating pain whenever you move --- even your extremities! So this pain and weakness can be quite the obstacle standing in the way of effective
postpartum weight loss.

After baby, some mothers also suffer from a hectic, busy schedule, especially moms who hold down a job in addition to parenting! This can complicate the equation even further, making it even more difficult to lose weight after baby. And then there's postpartum depression, which impacts about 15 percent of new moms.

So indeed, there are quite a few factors that can get in the way of postpartum weight loss! But there's good news! There is hope! All of these issues are temporary.

It may seem far off and unlikely at the moment, but you will sleep through the night again.

If you had surgery, your core muscles will heal from your c-section.

The pain and weakness will subside before you know it!

Your schedule will level off too as you get in the new rhythm of life. Postpartum baby blues will ease up with time and treatment is available too!

Indeed, all of the obstacles that make it seem like it's impossible to lose weight after baby will ease up with time. These obstacles are temporary and that extra baby weight can be temporary too! There's no need to resign to a new, heavier body weight. You can get your pre-pregnancy body back and you don't need to starve or give in to the surgery scalpel.

Keep hydrated, try to sleep when baby sleeps, get a routine and in no time things will start to fall in place and you will start feeling better in no time.
