BottomSlim | Post-Pregnancy Bulging Tummy, OMG!

The extreme fatigue, recurrent mood swings, inability to lose weight are often a shared experience for many women who just gave birth. Losing leftover pregnancy kilos and especially toning the lower body specifically is the worst.
Keep Expectations in Check
Depending on the size of the newborn and the weight of the amniotic fluids and placenta (which you deliver at birth), most pregnant women can expect to lose between 6 to 12 kilos during delivery. Given that most pregnancy weight gain is between 12 to 15 kilos, that’s a healthy start. Your breast tissue, blood supply, fat stores and enlarged uterus will not shrink until the first six weeks. So expect the belly to stay enlarged for a while.
Don’t focus on "getting your body back" (it didn’t go anywhere!) instead create a healthy, happy, and — possibly slightly differently shaped — you. BottomSlim has some tips to get you started:-
1.       Weekly weight-loss goal
As we shared last week, you need to lose weight slowly in order to prevent loose skin from developing. A good rule of thumb is to create a calorie deficit of 500 to 750 a day to have healthy weight loss. Keep in mind, too, that especially if you gained more than 15 kilos during your pregnancy, it could take extra time (from 10 months to two years) to bounce back.
2.       Breastfeeding melts the fat away
As many new moms will attest, breastfeeding helps you shrink back in record time. In fact, depending on how much milk you produce, breastfeeding can burn up about 500 calories per day. What’s more, it stimulates the release of hormones that help shrink your uterus (and your post-baby belly).
3.       Listen to your body
As you slow down on breastfeeding, you may notice that weaning naturally decreases your appetite — your body’s natural way of putting you on the right kind of diet (so listen to it!). You’ll likely feel you have more free time (and comfortable) to increase the level of physical activity, too. So when you stop nursing, don’t worry too much about packing on the pounds you lost. Lifestyle changes can help keep your metabolism churning.
4.       Do the baby dance
Even though you're super busy, you can always find ways to squeeze in some exercise. How with my baby? Exactly! You can do some quick, energizing exercises with the tiny tot at home in minutes. We suggest put on some music you love to dance to while you hold your baby close to your body while supporting the head. For variety, try intervals of slow and moderately fast music to keep your heart rate up. (Safety first: When performing exercises, your baby must be able to hold his head up on his/her own. Usually 3-4 months is a good time.)
5.       Team Up
While it’s hard to say exactly if and when weight loss slows, experts say that many women do retain 3 to 5 kilos for good. That said, it likely has nothing to do with being pregnant but is more related to changes in your diet and activity levels after baby is in the picture: Caring for a new baby leaves a lot less time to take care of yourself. You will need some help to do some targeted fat reductions so you can look the best you can. Team up with a professional slimming centre – and create a sensible plan according to your body needs and goals.
