Do you try hiding your baby pooch?

Ever been through a situation when you feel alienated from your own wardrobe which used to have your favorite collections of clothing and accessories? Trying to hide that flabby baby pooch with the parallel tops or kurtis?  A bit afraid of what your colleagues and neighbors say?  Then you are not alone!! Congratulations you are a mommy now..!!

Women do gain extra pounds during their pregnancy and it may take time to lose them as well.  Some are just lucky enough to lose it very quickly and others have to take some extra effort to get back to shape.  The fear of being ridiculed for their extra weight gain often haunts women.  The case is same even if you are a celebrity.  Remember how Aishwarya Rai Bachhan was portrayed by the media for her post pregnancy weight?? Well I would say it would make more sense if we just follow our intuitions rather than worrying about what others say.  Following a strict diet and strenuous workouts soon after delivery can harm your body and your baby’s health as well.

Slow and steady wins the race and it works well with new mothers too.  Yes! You need to be patient with your concern over your extra weight or baby pooch. Let your body take some time to heal and let your soul connect with your little one.  Slowly you can add the work outs and diet plans that would let you lose your pounds without affecting your baby.  It’s okay if you are not able to get into those denims or gowns for the party.  It is okay if you are to wear those straight cut loose kurtis or tops.  You are God’s lovely creation, and guardian angel of your baby.  You are a super mom and the world to your baby. 

It’s more important that you feel comfortable with own self and your body which will help you build positive thoughts and make your life better.  If you are a working women consider clothing that makes you feel at ease.  Eventually you will lose those pounds and start wearing your denim again. For plus size women there are many clothing available online to choose from that will help you feel comfortable.  Some of the good brands in this section are Goldstroms, Mothers Bay and for plus size apparels you may consider Alto Modo, Denims, Divena, etc.

With Love
