Many women are frightened, after giving birth will have a body fat, increased appetite because they have to breastfeed, and so on. This makes the women on a strict diet to make their body condition as before. However, did you know that your body actually has the ability and the elasticity itself after giving birth? Here are some facts about the body after childbirth.
Reduced weights of 4 kg. During pregnancy, your body weight can increase dramatically. This is due to the growth of babies in the womb. Babies in the womb has a weight of about 2.8 to 3.2 kg, coupled with about 0.8 kg of amniotic fluid. So after giving birth you will lose about 4 kg. "This weight reduction is not going to happen immediately, and will definitely take time to really have a body weight as when not pregnant. In the first week, you will lose 1.2 to 2 kg once. It took nine months to add the weight of pregnancy it's on your body, then give your body time to also eliminate the heavy, "said Lisa Druxman, author of Lean Mommy.
Hair loss. About 50 percent of women experience hair loss after childbirth. "This is called effluvium, and occurred during the 1-6 months after giving birth," says Francesca Fusco, MD, assistant dermatology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. During pregnancy, there is a boost of hormones that slow the process of hair loss. For hormonal balance, then after the birth of new hair will grow back. To keep hair healthy and reduce hair loss, Fusco advised to eat foods high in protein, iron, zinc, flavonoids, antioxidants, and silica, which is beneficial for healthy scalp and hair.

No need to overeat when nursing. Calories for most milk comes from your body reserves. Therefore, you really do not need to eat too much milk to add to reserves. If you lose weight about 2 pounds a week, then you need to add extra food. "It's important to focus on food with complete nutrition. Because vitamins and minerals from the foods you eat will be pumped into the breast milk. Focus only on eating regularly, to increase the consumption of fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy, and lean protein," said Melinda Johnson, MS, RD, a professor from Arizona State University.
Acne. During pregnancy, there is an increase in blood circulation by 50 percent. Increased blood flow is stored in many places, especially in the blood, so that pregnant women often have a more radiant face. After delivery, the size of blood vessels in the face and the blood circulation will return to normal, so make your face acne. This acne condition usually experienced by women who stopped breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding to lose weight. Babies need about 500-800 calories per day for healthy growth and development. "Breastfed babies would mean that it issued its own calories, while feeding your baby," said Johnson.
Abdominal muscles will be back to normal. Many are worried that the stomach sagged after childbirth. It is actually not appropriate, because the abdominal muscles are dilated during pregnancy serves to prop the baby in the womb (called diastasis recti). When pregnant, the muscles that separate are joined to one another and extending to the side, becoming wider and thinner. But after giving birth, the muscle will return to function initially to support the other organs, and not the abdominal muscles. Thus, the condition of the stomach will return to normal.
"To get a slim tummy back, think with the principle of 3C, Cardio, Core, and the Clean eating," said Druxman. That is, you need a combination of cardio exercises, core muscle exercise, and eat healthily.
Stretch marks will disappear. About 90 percent of women develop stretch marks during pregnancy. "This is a result of rapid weight gain. At that time the body expands faster than the performance of skin stretch," said Fusco. Increased glucocorticoid hormones during pregnancy will slow down the formation of collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis skin layer. To be free of stretch marks skin skin care begins when stretch marks are still in new condition.
