Senior Pilates instructor Nicole Serje<\/strong><\/a> says that beyond getting back in shape, new mothers should focus on doing what\u2019s best for their bodies and minds<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Everybody wants to know how to lose the baby weight after pregnancy, but according to post-natal recovery expert and Senior Pilates Instructor Nicole Serje, there\u2019s a better approach that most of us are missing. \u201cLosing fat should be the last thing on a mom\u2019s mind immediately after giving birth,\u201d she says.\u00a0 \u201cMany women focus on losing weight, when their primary focus initially should be on regaining structural integrity, postural realignment and core connection which will lead to long-term strength and function.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re a new mum, congratulations for making it through the third trimester<\/a>! It\u2019s now time to map out your journey back to optimum health both inside and out. Let\u2019s hear Nicole Serje\u2019s best advice for creating a holistic postnatal program that incorporates movement with mindfulness.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The post-natal recovery journey<\/strong> is different for everyone, and there are so many factors that affect it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Becoming a mum<\/strong> makes you physically,\u00a0 emotionally and psychologically a different person\u2026 which is not a bad thing!\u00a0 Whether you have children or not, you\u2019re continually changing as a person over the course of your life, so why not try to accept and embrace it?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is no rush to get back to your \u201cpre-pregnancy body\u201d<\/strong>, and to be honest, you have changed physically and won\u2019t necessarily be exactly how you were before being pregnant. The important thing is to first focus on what\u2019s happening within your body, and then start to work on how you\u2019d like to look on the outside. Build yourself up working from the inside and then out.\u00a0 Don\u2019t push too quickly and don\u2019t overdo things. Add core strengthening exercises and gentle movements in the initial stages of your recovery.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You grow a baby for 9 months<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0don\u2019t expect to recover overnight.\u00a0 In terms of feeling like \u201cnormal\u201d, it can take anywhere from twelve to twenty-four months.\u00a0 When you consider the physical changes during pregnancy as well as the emotional and hormonal influences on your body \u2013 among other things \u2013 they all play a role in how quickly and how well you recover postnatally.<\/p>\n
