Here are some tips to kickstart your post-pregnancy weight loss journey.

Though recovery time varies from one mother to another, the type of delivery determines the nutrition plan and workout regime.

“If mothers are not finding time to exercise or they don’t feel motivated enough, then a small 30-minute walk can help to make a start. It is important to do much of the work related to the child including bathing which helps the mother connect with the child and also is a form of exercise for her,” nutritionist Purvi Bansal from HealthyRoots, Chandigarh told indianexpress.com in an earlier interview.

According to Dr Rucha Majmundar Mehta, clinical nutritionist, Apollo CBCC, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, in case of normal delivery, mostly routine exercises which include stretching and simple yoga exercises for muscle tone are prescribed but for C-section deliveries, exercises can only start after the uterus comes back to its original shape without hampering the incision.

It is also recommended to wait for about four to eight weeks after giving birth for doing heavy abdominal exercises like crunches.
