Losing weight after pregnancy, when it does not happen on its own
Your baby is here and the weight stayed. For some women it comes off within six months, for others it does not, and that says nothing about how hard you are trying. Once you have finished breastfeeding, medical treatment can help you get rid of it after all.

- Your youngest is walking already and the weight is still there
- Your old clothes still do not fit
- There is little time or energy left for yourself
- What used to work for losing weight does nothing now
Sound familiar? Your body changed, that is not a lack of discipline.
Your body changed, not your willpower
After a pregnancy your body works differently than before. Three things play a part.
Pregnancy weight often lingers
Some women still carry extra weight a year after giving birth. The more you gained during pregnancy, the bigger the chance that part of it stays.
Your rhythm and your metabolism shift
Less movement, a different eating pattern and often a little less muscle. Together that means the same food gives a different result.
Broken sleep drives your appetite
Short nights throw your hunger hormones off. You crave quick sugars exactly when your energy runs out.
Your body spent nine months doing something remarkable. That it responds differently afterwards makes sense.
A plan that fits this stage
Not a crash diet squeezed in between feeds and nappies, but treatment that first checks whether the timing is right.
A doctor looks at your situation
A registered doctor goes through your health, your delivery and how you are doing now. Together you decide whether treatment fits.
We check whether it is safe first
The doctor asks whether you are breastfeeding and whether you want to get pregnant. If you are breastfeeding, we do not start. If another pregnancy is on the horizon, we talk through what makes sense first.
Medication that quiets your appetite
GLP-1 medication dampens the constant hunger, so eating well stays doable on days with little time or rest.
Guidance that fits a busy household
Everything happens online, whenever it suits you. You ask questions in the chat and the team answers quickly.
Small moments,
big difference
Losing weight isn't about the scale. It's about everything that just works again afterwards.
