How long does it take for the postpartum relaxin to disappear? Will the breasts become loose and sagging after childbirth?

Many pregnant women will experience sagging after giving birth, which will cause the mother's figure to be out of shape. Some mothers will also experience sagging breasts after giving birth, which is also very ugly. Therefore, we need to understand how long it will take for the postpartum relaxin to disappear? Will the breasts sag after giving birth?

Relaxin will generally disappear in about two to four months after childbirth. This depends on your own situation. Because the degree of relaxation varies from person to person, the time it takes to disappear is also different. Relaxin is mainly caused by the skin being stretched for a long time. In the later stage, body shaping or skin tightening can speed up the disappearance of relaxation. If the skin is in a loose state for a long time, the body will have no shape and become obese. Therefore, skin tightening and body shaping must be done after childbirth to prevent the body from being seriously out of shape. There are generally two types of delivery methods: natural delivery and cesarean section. The recovery time of the belly after these two methods is different. The recovery time of cesarean section is generally slower than that of natural delivery. However, no matter what kind of delivery method, you can start doing some gentle exercises to restore your belly after childbirth. For example: wearing a body shaper, doing yoga, practicing Tai Chi, and other gentle exercises suitable for the recovery of Bao Ma are all possible.

In order to provide the baby with sufficient breast milk after childbirth, the breasts will be enlarged and the weight will increase, which will pull the ligaments of the breasts for a long time and make the ligaments loose. In addition, when feeding, improper posture, long-term chest hunchback, and some mothers who do not pay attention to wearing nursing bras will aggravate breast sagging. After weaning, the breast glands shrink and collapse rapidly, and it is very common to have sagging breasts. Therefore, it is recommended to massage the breasts more at the beginning of pregnancy, do exercises to exercise the pectoralis major muscles, insist on wearing nursing bras during lactation, and maintain the correct breastfeeding posture, which can reduce breast sagging to a certain extent. Postpartum breast sagging is a very normal phenomenon. If you think it affects the appearance, breast sagging can be corrected by plastic surgery. The improvement effect after plastic surgery is better. People with mild breast sagging can undergo plastic surgery, including prosthesis implantation and autologous fat injection, to enlarge the breasts, increase the breast contents, and then tighten the breasts to improve the sagging situation. For severe breast sagging, it is recommended to undergo breast ptosis correction surgery, also known as breast ptosis suspension fixation surgery. For those who want to improve sagging breasts through physical therapy or diet therapy, the results will not be satisfactory.

Before exercising, empty your bladder; make sure you breathe smoothly during exercise and don't hold your breath; choose a comfortable position. You can do this exercise whether you are sitting, standing or lying down. Contract your pelvic floor muscles for 5 seconds. Relax these muscles for 10 seconds. Count to 10 before starting the next repetition. Repeat the exercise 10 times. This is one set of pelvic floor muscle exercises. You should do 3-4 sets of exercises in a day, but don't do more than that. Warm reminder: If you have pain in your back or stomach after you complete a set of pelvic floor muscle exercises, it means that your exercises are not correct. In addition, if you have learned how to do it, I hope you will be patient so that you can feel the effect of the exercise.

Relaxin lasts for 42 days after delivery, which is also the time for the body to recover. During pregnancy, the body will secrete a hormone called relaxin, which allows our bones and pelvis to slowly open and the ligaments to relax. During this period, we must combine work and rest, avoid strenuous exercise, pay attention to personal hygiene, open windows for ventilation, keep the indoor air circulating, drink more boiled water, avoid catching a cold, do not get angry, and be sure to keep warm.
