Losing Weight After Pregnancy
While still in the hospital after giving birth to my first child, Fresh Flora Review I looked in the mirror and thought I saw the pre-pregnancy me looking back. My face no longer looked bloated and, looking down, I could see that my feet didn't resemble pillows any more.
But a total shock greeted me when I arrived home. The mirror in my hospital bathroom had kindly only shown the view of my head and shoulders. At home I could see the entire picture and I looked like a land whale! Why hadn't the older women warned me? I had assumed that, even though I had gained 35 lbs., giving birth to an 8 lb. boy would restore me to my former self!
Now, many years later, after 3 more births (all girls!), I would like to share my experience with all you new moms. Don't be dismayed by your post-pregnancy body. It is not permanent! Just remember it took you 9 months to acquire this new shape so cut yourself some slack about the time it will take to get back to normal.
