Reclaiming Your Body Post-pregnancy

As with any pregnancy, even though an expecting mom is excited and overjoyed, there also tends to be some feelings of anxiety. Many wonder what kind of mother they will be or if they will ever sleep, how their infant will behave, how they will juggle a career, etc.  It's absolutely normal to have some anxiety about becoming a parent.

Many moms also think about their physical well being and wonder how they will get their body back in decent shape again.  This can be especially true for those women who have struggled with their weight throughout their pre-pregnancy life.  Not all of us women are like the supermodels and movie stars we see on the cover of the tabloids, that have extraordinary metabolisms or high-priced personal trainers and all the time in the world. With most women gaining approximately 35-40lbs during their pregnancy (and some more), the idea of getting back to a pre-pregnancy weight can seem daunting or even futile to some.  Though there are bigger things to focus on before labor, many women think that post-pregnancy shape is important to keep in mind because they want to be a healthy, active mom and also want to feel good about themselves. After all, a happy mom is good for the whole family.

Body firming products can help new moms with their goal to get back in shape and tone their bodies.   However, just as it is critical to ensure your skincare contains safe ingredients during pregnancy, it is also important that your skincare products are safe to use as a new mom, especially if you're breast feeding. A new mom should use skincare products that undergo LactMed screening, which means that the products do not include ingredients linked to harmful effects during breastfeeding.

Body Firming Serum, from Belli skincare, is formulated to lift and firm your breasts, buttocks and abdomen with an advanced serum that includes shiitake mushroom extract and rice proteins to improve tone, suppleness and appearance.  Body Firming Serum is safe to use while breastfeeding, because like all Belli Motherhood products, it is LACT-MED screened.  (Many body firming creams on the market today include caffeine, which is questionable for some nursing moms.)  All of Belli Motherhood products are highly effective and time-efficient solutions that help you reclaim your body after pregnancy. Additionally, every product is allergy tested, and free of artificial dyes and parabens.

Note: The Motherhood Essentials Kit is a great gift for any new mom. It contains everything she needs to restore and reclaim her body.
