Post Pregnancy Weight Gain & CSLC CAP

Embracing Your Post-Pregnancy Journey: Understanding Weight Gain and Clinically Supported Lifestyle Correction (Based on Dr. Jolly Thomson’s Approach)

The journey of motherhood is transformative, and while bringing a new life into the world is an unparalleled joy, it often comes with physical changes, including post-pregnancy weight gain. At LCC Hospital in Kochi, Kerala, we understand that navigating these changes can be challenging. Leveraging Clinically Supported Lifestyle Correction (Based on Dr. Jolly Thomson’s Approach), we offer a pathway to healthy and sustainable wellness for new mothers.

Why Does Post-Pregnancy Weight Gain Happen?

It’s completely normal to experience weight gain during and after pregnancy. Several factors contribute to this:

• Hormonal Shifts: Pregnancy brings significant hormonal fluctuations that can influence metabolism and fat storage.

• Increased Calorie Needs: Your body requires extra calories to support the growth of your baby and to prepare for breastfeeding.

• Fluid Retention: Many women experience increased fluid retention, which can contribute to temporary weight gain.

• Lifestyle Adjustments: The immense demands of caring for a newborn can lead to less time for exercise, disrupted sleep, and sometimes less healthy eating habits.

• Breastfeeding: While breastfeeding can contribute to calorie expenditure over time, it initially requires additional calories, and some women may find it challenging to lose weight while actively breastfeeding.

It’s crucial to approach post-pregnancy weight management with patience, self-compassion, and a focus on overall health.
