PostNatal Recovery
Giving birth is one of the hardest things that you will ever do, as a mother. When breastfeeding, take care to eat and drink enough and have enough rest so that you have the energy to produce enough breastmilk.
The lingering effects of pregnancy hormones need to be considered when starting a new exercise programme.
Often overlooked, Postnatal recovery needs to be taken seriously. If you can't take care of yourself, how can you expect to take care of your baby? It has been shown that women who make a quick recovery after birth are less likely to get bouts of postnatal depression. This is more important during breastfeeding. It is essential to eat and drink enough and to have lots of rest so that you gain the energy to produce enough breastmilk as well as carry out your responsibilities as a mother! Perhaps you are rather sore "down there" following birth, or you may be recovering from a caesarian section well New Life Wellbeing can offer some good advice on the practical aspects of what follows immediately.
If you attend any of our sessions you will find a variety of products in this category to help you get back on your feet as quickly and healthily as you can. It will be a essential balance of exercises and other recovery activities.
Post Natal exercise is vital, not only to help your body recover, but also to sustain your energy level. At NewLife Wellbeing we have guidelines that will help you return to exercise safely.
