What is the best way to lose your mummy tummy after giving birth?

Weight gained during pregnancy can be hard to shift after the birth and also the strength and condition of the abdominal and stomach muscles need to be considered.

The stomach muscles are structured into three sets and during the period of pregnancy and while giving birth one of these sets gets separated from the others due to the inevitable stretching that occurs. This separation creates what is medically known as a diastasis. For a flat stomach to be regained after the birth of a child this diastasis needs to be closed. This can be done by a series of exercises and stretching. This is known as the Tupler Theory outlined in the book Lose Your Mummy Tummy by Julie Tupler and Jodie Gould.

The Tupler Theory has proven very successful in helping new mothers around the world regain their flat stomach.

Any exercise that strengthens the stomach muscles will be useful in getting back into shape. Exercising using a stability ball is increasingly popular and if you can find the time after giving birth going jogging is an excellent exercise to do for your stomach muscles and all round levels of fitness.

Diet also has an important role to play after giving birth. Follow a sensible and healthy diet plan, remember you are not eating for two anymore.

In the modern world there is huge pressure on new mothers to regain their flat stomachs and former weight. The media is full of images of celebrity mothers back to looking their best just a few short weeks after giving birth. However with the right program of diet and exercise this can be achieved by all new mothers. The ergo baby sling carrier and ergo baby carrier accessories can help to reduce stress on the back and stomach muscles of new mothers.
