Is is harder to lose weight after a c-section delivery?

Answer 1

Yes it is. Mostly because your body has more recovery. And because with a natural birth you are able to be up and moving as normal shortly after with a c-section you have a healing period where you are not as active.

Answer 2

in my case it wasn't hard at all, I only gained 19 pounds total and I had my postpartum check up 3 weeks after the delivery I was back on my normal weight, every body says how lucky I was, it help a lot taking care of my new baby, even with a c-section I did every hing for my little one I guess the helped to burn some calories.

Answer 3

Losing weight is harder unless you can do cruches and ab work. Thats what tones things up and keeps you from having a beer belly looking monstrosity. And yes a c section does make it harder to do ab work. Most women don't do ab work anyway though so no worries just be flabby.
On a sweeter note a c section keeps thing tight where it counts.
CONGRATULATIONS!

Answer 4

Its hard to lose weight after any baby, the recovery period is almost irrelevent because you have different problems and usually stitches after a vaginal delivery. The time that it takes to recover from a c-section is only slightly different from that of a vaginal. Dont push your body, but do what you can as you feel your body is ready.

Answer 5

Well you can't exercise to help your abdomen go back into shape. Your suppose to recover for like 2 months, no lifting, excercising, etc. I was in so much excruciating pain that I wasn't even thinking that way yet. I don't know if this is an option for you, but I strongly recommend vaginal delivery.

Answer 6

It not hard, but you do have to wait 6-8 weeks to start working out hard. Where your muscles have been cut it can be a alot harded. I'm still trying to get rid of my baby fat too.

Answer 7

Yes - but not impossible. Exercise and eat right and drink lots of water
