How to Find the Best Electric Breast Pump

How To Get Rid Of The Love Handles After Pregnancy

One change your body undergoes during pregnancy is to lose a significant amount of muscle tone in the abdominal and hip area.

Even if this is child number three, the addition of an extra person in the house with a mother who is tired and overworked will change the dynamics of the entire day. It's amazing how much extra laundry one little infant can bring to the house!

What Is The Best Time To Start Exercise After Pregnancy?

Getting back into shape after the birth of your new baby is one goal that many new mothers look forward to. After nine long months of a woman's body changing in ways that many don't appreciate, your wonderful new bundle was born but your body doesn't return to its prepregnancy state automatically.

Here's What To Do About Stretch Marks After Childbirth

Stretch marks are the bane of every woman who has delivered a child. They are long, wide and shiny or silvery marks that happen on the stomach, breasts, buttocks and thighs. They happen because of the stretching that occurs during pregnancy as the baby continues to grow. Under the skin the collagen separates and the results are stretch marks. Because they happen as the skin stretches they often occur in the later stages of pregnancy as the baby is growing at a fast rate. Although every woman is at risk to develop stretch marks, there are some who have a slightly higher risk because of other factors. For instance women who are delivering multiple births will grow larger than a woman who is going to deliver a single child. Family history is also another indicator.

How Soon After Pregnancy Should You Start Abdominal Exercises?

Once the baby is born one of the first questions a new mom asks her obstetrician during her first visit is, "when can I start doing exercises?" And for most women, they means specifically abdominal exercises. During the latter stages of pregnancy it is very normal for the rectus abdominus muscle, that muscle that runs down the center of the belly, to separate allowing the abdomen to expand and make room for the growing baby. This isn't a tearing or a herniation of the muscle but rather a stretching and widening of the connective tissue between the two muscles. After pregnancy there are several exercises that can be done to bring that muscle back together and make it stronger than ever. But, before doing any exercises for your stomach you must consult with your gynecologist to get medical clearance. ...
