Pregnancy is an overwhelming experience. In this experience, women have gone through a number of changes physically as well as mentally.
Giving birth to live is both physically and emotionally exhausting process. Pregnant women need adequate care, both before and after delivery. A number of changes took place because of hormonal changes.
Changes In Body After Pregnancy:
- Hair Fall: It is one of the common change that occurs after pregnancy. Few weeks after the pregnancy you will start losing your hair. Hair falling phase will last up to a year or less. Hair loss occurs due to the decreasing estrogen levels after childbirth. Oestrogen level is high during pregnancy. Hair fall is normal post pregnancy and it takes some to normalize.
- Skin Discolouration: At the time of pregnancy some women experience “Mask Of Pregnancy”. After pregnancy, the brown color spot around the eyes will fade away. Also, women who experienced an acne problem should now see their skin start to clear. Post pregnancy some women experience a red rash around the mouth and chin and also suffer from dry skin which will go within weeks.
- Bleeding: Wheather you have a vaginal birth or a cesarean, after giving birth you will have something like periods called “Lochia”. Lochia can be heavy for a few days and you have to use maternity pad. Initially, Lochia is bright red in color and after a few days, it becomes lighter in flow. Lochia will continue for at least 2 weeks and may last up to 6 weeks.
- Skin Changes: Stretch marks after giving birth is common. The fittest women also experienced some chubbiness in the midsection after giving birth. But these marks fade away with time. Using special oil and lotion helps to cure these marks. Doing sit-ups, yoga helps to flatten your tummy like earlier.
