Problem with stomach
I just had a baby 12 weeks ago. I am 5'6 and I weighed 188lbs when I gave birth. I am now down to 139lbs and I want to get back to 125lbs. I am having alot of trouble in stomach area. I went to the ER last week because I was still bleeding 11 weeks after birth and I passed out. At the ER they did an ultraound and said everything was fine but that uterus was still very large. It should have gone back down to normal 4-6 weeks after delivery but they could not give me an explanation as to why mine is still large. Could this be the reason that will not go flat? I am eating right and exercising but that pooch is still big.. What can I do to lose those last 15lbs asap.. I am not sure if I am doing the right exercises. After first two children, all I did was walk and it came right off.. Any help would be appreciated!
Has the bleeding stopped now? The size of your uterus could very well be the reason you aren't seeing any improvement. I suggest that you see your family physician or your OB to find out why your uterus hasn't returned to it's normal size.
To cause your uterus to shrink back to it's normal size you could try massaging it to get it to contract more. Your Dr. or public health nurse should be able to show you how to do this. Hope this helps.
Congratulations on the new baby!
