10 changes your body will experience after pregnancy
Getting pregnant is one of the most beautiful experiences in life. Giving life and seeing how your own child grows and develops within you is incredible. Besides being a responsibility for the mother, the truth is that she also carries changes in the body They occur both during pregnancy and after delivery, some more positive than others.
The body transforms not only during the gestation period, but also after having your son. Have you become pregnant and want to know the main changes you will experience? We tell you some of them.
The 10 changes in the body after childbirth
1. Hair loss: a few weeks after delivery, you will notice that you start losing large amounts of hair. The reason is interesting: a person loses on average about 100 hairs a day, but during pregnancy much less fall. Thus, after delivery, the body has to "compensate" and lose extra hair during the first six months. But do not worry: it will soon return to its normal cycle.
2. Changes in the chest: do not be scared, but it is also expected that your chest will redden, inflame and hurt you. Once this inflammation subsides, in about three or four days (or until you finish breastfeeding), your chest will probably begin to sag as a result of stretched skin. It is also common to experience "milk leakage" during the first weeks, even if you have decided not to breast-feed your child. It will also end, calm.
3. Changes in the belly: right after giving birth you will notice that your uterus is still heavy and round and that even It hurts. You will also see that striae appear in the belly (quiet, its color is diluted) and it is normal for the abdomen to become more flaccid after childbirth, although this can be solved with yoga and some abdominals to return to its normal state (or close to him), in addition to the postpartum belt, of which there are different types.
4. Back pain: it will take some time for the muscles of the abdomen to "be strong" again, so your body will carry the weight on the muscles of the back and it is normal for you to experience painr. In addition, new moms often suffer back pain due to poor postures during pregnancy. All this will disappear in a few weeks if you do exercises prescribed by the doctor.
5. Incontinence: while the baby is in the belly, press on the bladder and that makes you not go to the bathroom as much. However, this pressure during delivery can cause it costs you to go to the bathroom after childbirth. New mothers, in addition, often suffer from incontinence and even infection.
6. Constipation: if during pregnancy you spent time extreme, the truth is that it is very common for you to continue being after delivery. A diet rich in fiber and plenty of water, milk and juices will help you.
7. Vagina pain: after giving birth it is very normal for your vagina to hurt, something you can relieve by putting cold packs on it. Do not worry if you notice that you bleed after having the baby: it is also normal and can last several weeks.
8. Inflamed legs and veins: The swelling and swelling in the legs that is normally experienced during pregnancy will diminish very quickly after delivery. However, some women may experience inflammation that will disappear for the most part after losing some weight.
9. Transpiration: You will notice that, after having your baby, you begin to experience excessive sweating at night. This is completely normal, it is because the body needs to get rid of all the extra fluids it accumulated during pregnancy.
10. Changes in body energy: Some mothers say that after giving birth, they feel more energetic than ever. In fact, a woman's aerobic capacity can increase up to 20 percent in the first six weeks after delivery. However, other mothers say just the opposite: from the pure exhaustion of childbirth, the multitude of newborn care and excess weight leaves them tired and slow.
