Psychologist of the “Dr. Gavrilov Center” Svetlana Tachina
– So the moment has come when you know for sure that you are expecting a baby! Day after day, the life of your little man develops, and along with this development, internal and external changes occur that every woman experiences while waiting for a baby. As a rule, external changes are, first of all, changes associated with the body, and therefore with the figure of weight. Well, what a pregnant woman does not gain these extra pounds! This is a well-known story to everyone, only every woman has her own …
Of course, changes in the body are quite physiological and so arranged by nature, only the attitude to these changes is different. Someone is happy that they are expecting a child, someone worries and worries not only for the life and health of the future baby, but also for their figure, and changes in the numbers on the scales add even more anxiety and fears for the future – and what about to do this later? Anxiety grows especially when you understand that there is already excess weight, and then there is a significant increase in the scales. And here it is very important to observe a balanced diet. Your doctor can tell you about this in the antenatal clinic, or, alternatively, you can contact us at the center. When communicating with you, we will be able to share our valuable experience, give recommendations on the diet, and the advice of a psychologist will relieve unnecessary stress and anxiety associated with weight gain. Indeed, at such an important moment in your life, the most important thing is the health of the baby, and his emotional state and well-being depend on how you feel.
Happiness depends on our inner state of love and joy
Changes in weight also occur during breastfeeding, when the mother’s diet changes. But here, too, one should not be afraid and unnecessarily anxious. Breastfeeding is an important process in the life of any woman who becomes a mother. Motherhood is, first of all, taking care of your baby. Emotional and body contact with your baby allows your baby to grow up healthy and happy. Difficulty at this stage may arise due to the lack of time for oneself, because the mother devotes all her time to the newborn, so it is important to be able not to forget about yourself, to give yourself the opportunity to get enough sleep when the child is sleeping, and not to be engaged at this time at home, creating a family cosiness. The ability to prioritize and listen to yourself relieves unnecessary stress, anxiety and makes it possible to enjoy every moment spent with the child together. At this stage, you can ask for help from qualified specialists of our center. A dietitian will tell you how to build your diet in such an important period for you, which will help you avoid excessive and rapid gaining extra pounds. Remember that fatigue and irritation is easily overwhelmed by sweet and starchy foods.
Time passes, the baby grows up, and now he is already playing on his own, lying in the crib, and you have a few minutes that you can devote to yourself. Perhaps at this very moment, looking at yourself in the mirror, you want to take care of yourself, your slimness and beauty. Do not postpone it until later, in our center you can go through a special weight loss program, where you will receive support and assistance, both individually and in a group format. The possibility of annual support will certainly help you not only to reduce weight, but also to maintain your achieved result, and correctly formulated goals will allow you to fill your life with new happy moments associated with harmony, health and beauty of your body. How often do we try to make the life of others happier, not realizing that the happiness of our neighbor depends, first of all, on our inner state of love and joy.
