Tips to reduce weight after cesarean delivery

Delivery can be a problem if you have to get C-section. You may deal with inflammation, wound infection and back aches after the C-section. However, apart from all these problems, weight gain can be a common problem that every woman who goes under C-section needs to deal with. You may observe pouch-like area near your belly, which is extremely difficult to get rid of after the delivery.

Below are some tips on how to loose weight after a cesarean delivery:

1. Tummy binder: Using this belt can help to push the belly inside, thus, promoting flat belly after few days of use. You can do this only after 2 months of getting the surgery so that the tissues can heal faster.
2. Breast feeding: Breast feeding will not only help to develop a bond with your baby but it can burn a lot of calories, thus, getting rid of the extra fat post the pregnancy. It is important to breast feed your baby for at least 6 months so that it melts off the belly fat soon.
3. Drinking lots of water: Drinking water is essential after C-section, as it is not only helpful in maintaining the fluid balance but prevents you from over eating as well. Keeping your body hydrated can help to speed up the healing process.
4. Postpartum support belt: Using postpartum support belt helps to tighten the abdominal muscles, thus, reducing the stomach fat and also reducing the back pain. The postpartum belt is preferable to lose fat from the tummy area after delivery. This is especially good for those who went through C-section. Make sure that you use the belt only after 2 months after the delivery. You can remove the belt while eating and sleeping.
