One of the first things new moms ask after delivery — usually in a low voice — is:
“Mera weight kab kam hoga?”

And we get it. You love your baby. But you also want to feel like yourself again.

At Maternite Hospital, we remind every mother: “Your body just did something amazing. Be kind to it.”
Postpartum weight loss isn’t about rushing back to your old jeans. It’s about building strength, restoring energy, and feeling better slowly — not suddenly.

Here’s how to approach it safely, one step at a time.

1. Wait. Rest Comes First.​

For the first 6 weeks after delivery, focus only on rest, recovery, and feeding.
Whether you had a normal delivery or a C-section, your body needs time to heal.
No workouts. Just walking around the house and gentle stretching (if comfortable).

If you have complications, your maternity doctor in Jaipur will tell you exactly when you can start light activity.

2. Eat for Strength, Not Just Weight Loss

Don’t cut food. Don’t skip ghee. Don’t follow crash diets from the internet.

Your body needs:

• Good fats (ghee, nuts, coconut)
• Iron and calcium (methi, til, leafy greens)
• Protein (dal, paneer, eggs)
• Fiber (fruit, vegetables, whole grains)
• Eat small meals every 3–4 hours. Stay hydrated. And if you're breastfeeding, your body is already burning extra calories.

At Maternite, our in-house nutritionist for women in Jaipur gives moms meal plans based on real food — not supplements or shakes.

3. Gentle Movement You Can Start

Around 6–8 weeks (if cleared by your doctor), start:

• 20–30 minutes of walking daily
• Pelvic tilts and deep breathing
• Postnatal yoga (with guidance)
• Light core strengthening
• Avoid jumping, crunches, or anything too intense — especially if you have back pain, stitches, or separation in abdominal muscles (diastasis recti).

A trained female physiotherapist in Jaipur can guide you with postpartum-safe exercises.

4. If You're Breastfeeding

You don’t need to do anything extra to lose weight.
Feeding burns around 400–500 calories a day. Focus on eating well, and you’ll start seeing slow changes naturally.

Remember: sudden dieting can reduce milk supply. Balance is key.

5. Be Patient, Be Kind

Don’t chase Instagram bodies. Don’t compare yourself to celebrities.
You carried a baby for 9 months — your body deserves more than 3 weeks to bounce back.

Some days you’ll feel low, tired, or bloated. That’s normal.
Healing is not linear. Weight loss isn’t either.

What We Tell Moms at Maternite

You don’t need pressure. You need support.
That’s why our care doesn’t end after discharge. We check stitches, yes — but we also ask: Are you eating okay? Are you feeling strong?

That’s what makes us more than a women's care hospital in Jaipur — we’re a recovery partner, not just a delivery room.
