She said it was quite simple
A mum who piled on a whopping six stone while pregnant with her second child has reveals the secret to getting rid of her "mum tum" in just 13 weeks.Emma felt her body confidence plummet as strangers pointed out "how big" she was - even asking if she was expecting twins. But after giving birth in January, it didn't take a determined Emma long to get back to a weight she was happy with.
“He’s a big baby, and people used to ask all the time whether I was pregnant with twins,” she said. "It did affect me, and I’d love for people to know they can’t just say whatever they like to pregnant women. “I wanted to be able to pick my baby up and not feel like I was straining,” she said. "It’s hard work picking up an 11lb baby lots of times in a day."
"Focus on engaging your core when picking your baby up - try diaphragmatic breathing while doing it. This means using the diaphragm to breathe deeply, feeling it expand then contract. Kind of like an upside-down trampoline. Emma says this can be done by lying down and imagining a belt tightening between your hip bones and belly button - while controlling your breathing. She also believes new mums don’t have to count calories in order to lose weight - and eating meals with sustenance is “much more important”.
