Everyone has different reasons and motivations for losing their pregnancy weight but health and wellness are the most common reasons as well as wanting to regain your self confidence. But if you are planning on having more babies one of the best things you can do for your health and your health in your futre pregnancy is to lose your baby weight before becoming pregnant again.
Why is this so important?
To ensure a healthy pregnancy it is really important to go into that pregnancy as healthy as you can be – and this means being at a healthy weight. Professor Susan Walker who is an obsterician at The Mercy in Melbourne says over half of the women she sees are overweight which can lead to medical problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes, a difficult labour and an increased risk for a ceasarean – not to mention making the pregnancy even more uncomfortable as it progresses.
And more worryingly mums should be aware that there are increased risk for the new borns health too with an increased risk of trauma in birth, birth asphyxia, still births and the babies can also have metabolic issues.
Walker suggests optimising weight before pregnancy and seeking advice from your Doctor before conception to see what will be a healthy weight range for you to be in.
Whilst pregnant it is advised that you eat as many healthy foods such as fruit, vegetables, wholegrains and lean proteins to ensure you get all of the nutrients both mother and baby need and to avoid junk food and processed foods which can lead to excessive weight gain and nutrient deficiencies during pregnancy
