When will my postpartum belly go away and how can I support this process?

Congratulations: you just gave birth to your baby! But let’s face it: your belly still looks like you are 6 months pregnant… So, when will it go away?
In this video, Nathalie Kaufmann, Pregnancy and Birth Consultant and TCM Therapist, and Mathias Ritter, Researcher and Science Geek, discuss when exactly a postpartum belly will go away.
First, they share with you exactly how much weight you lost during your delivery. And they also explain why your “pregnancy belly” still exists after you gave birth to your baby.
Next, they explain the factors that determine how long it is going to take to lose your postpartum belly. Moreover, they share with you several things that you can do to get rid of your postpartum belly.
Finally, they also tell you why some women face the problem that their postpartum belly gets bigger, rather than smaller, when they breastfeed their baby and what you have to do to avoid it.

Amazing. You guys just solve all the queries in one shot. I have seen most of your videos and they cover the content quite holistic and comprehensively. Thank you.

[elliepoyer]

Gonna have my daughter in a few weeks. So this is incredibly helpful. I packed on an extra 35 pounds- with this pregnancy on top of the normal 20 pounds.
Activity was great, the cravings & caving was not.
The kitchen really is where progress starts.
I was extremely athletic before pregnancy, it will be a journey to go back to that- so
I thank you guys!

[shirlinekimosop]

Hi

Great video as always. Please make a video on under weight baby and mismatch between Estimated Date of Delivery by Last period vs EDD by scan.

I know someone on Facebook who went on diet and exercise with herbal nutritional. She was post partum for one year with big belly after pregnancy. She's an inspiration.

My tummy is still big after 6 months ago of delivering through cs and I had of fibroids that was removed.

I have stress and all that and I eat too much cuz I'm nursing my baby who is 6 months and active.

I'm taking my time from healing through my cs. Little little I'm takin it easy. I drink warm water in morning and night.. til after 1 year I'll go on diet and exercise. But I'll still have to see my doctor as I'm being asked to come back to check my tummy and know whether I can go on diet and exercise.

Unfortunately I was not able to breast feed because of various reasons (trust me tried really hard) so now I’m almost two years in and I look pregnant every day. It’s quite depressing considering I have been doing DR workouts, I even tried intermittent fasting but I didn’t see any improvement.

[missjose]

Am sorry for asking a question that is not matching with the video, am 29 weeks now my baby is breech on my right hand facing the left. Which side can I sleep and do I have chances of my baby turning?

[newbieysvlog]

I just gave birth 8 weeks ago and I want to know if can start running to loose weight. Im just 2kg more than my pre-pregnancy now. Thanks so much

[Maiju]

Good timing! 😁 I gave birth 2 weeks ago. I was 4 days in the hospital and came home 10 kg lighter. Now my weight is only 3 kilos more than before getting pregnant, but my older children keep asking if there is still a baby inside my belly because I still have bump. 😅🙈

Hi... Ur videos helped me for a normal delivery. Thank you. I bind my Belly for about 5 weeks. It seems like that uterus go back to normal size so I didn't tie my tummy afterwards but now I'm 8 weeks pp and my belly looks like I'm 3 months pregnant. How can I get flat tummy.

[zainabbibi]

Hello, my baby is 4 months old can I reduce my belly now? I'm so worried, I did nothing in starting days to reduce them as I was so busy...

[klaudiaegedova]

Does breastfeeding make abdominal wall more flexible? Is it possible that the muscles will tighten after weaning?
