Postpartum

Tiredness, pain and even easy crying are common in the mother after having a baby and are normal. However, there are certain signs that tell you that something could go wrong in the postpartum period and, if we are no longer in the hospital, you should see a doctor. These are not immediate postpartum risks but usually arise a few days after giving birth, even when the mother is already at home with the baby.

But is not supposed to have a baby is the most wonderful thing in the world, that come to become the light that illuminates your shadows, the engine that makes you run every day and the one that starts a smile, even when you don't feel like laughing ?

In Babies and more, we are always very critical of the media when they try to influence women with cases of mothers who have exercised a lot like exercising before pregnancy in a short time (remember the case of Vogue, for example), and we have shared Always images of real bodies, non-magazine cases, to show and demonstrate that it is normal, that pregnancy changes the body and that there is no reason to hide or be ashamed, because it is something that happens to most (and because it already it is well of so much cult to the thin body).

Wearing a belly after being a mother is a matter that many women do not even consider. You may have worn a bikini throughout your life and suddenly it goes to the swimsuit of a piece.

After the birth, the mother's body and mind undergoes many changes and approximately 40 days after giving birth, the gynecologist must go to the so-called “puerperal visit”.

Her name is Elena Perminova, she is 28 years old, and she is a Russian top model who recently gave birth to her third child. This, in itself, is not news. What it is, is that after two weeks of giving birth, she began to exercise daily so that, after two months, she had been able to erase any external trace of a possible pregnancy, and that this is shown in the magazine Vogue to promote such a performance.

The vertical muscles of the abdominal wall, called "straight muscles," separate during pregnancy to make room for the uterus.
