Some have stretch marks, others have swelling, and still others have a hefty portion of excess weight. And the fourth - all at once. During pregnancy, Irina Zabiyaka gained 22 kg. Especially for Letidor, the mother of 4-year-old Matvey spoke about how the waiting period for the baby affected her health and shape.
I couldn't help but eat
Despite the fact that the artist did not have edema, during pregnancy, the soloist of the popular group "Chi-Li" gained 22 kg and, with a height of 175 cm, began to weigh 79 kg. The feeling of constant hunger - it was under this "motto" that all 9 months of waiting for Matvey passed. At the same time, snacks in the form of a cucumber or a small portion of fruit did not save the singer.
“The body remembers any stresses that we put it (fasting, refusing to eat for the sake of losing weight), and at the time of pregnancy, it develops protection. The hunger made me feel terribly nauseous. I had to eat all the time to feel normal."
I listened to my body more than doctors
Irina admits that throughout her pregnancy she thought about how she would return to her former 57 kg. Moreover, the doctor himself repeatedly hinted to the expectant mother that she was gaining weight too quickly. Only the singer's wife liked the new mouth-watering forms, they upset Irina herself.
“I have resigned myself to the demands of my body. I didn't decide anything. My loved ones were sure that I would dump quickly. They repeated: "You have such willpower!" They were right, although the will did not come in handy in my case."
I spent 2 weeks in the hospital
For 3 weeks after giving birth, Irina Zabiyaka lost 17 kg! But the point here is not a super-desire to reach the cherished 57 kg in the shortest possible time. The singer assures that she didn't really count the centimeters. And she lost weight so rapidly, one might say, not of her own free will.
“I had complications after epidural anesthesia (Matvey was born by caesarean section). At first, the anesthesia did not work on me, then it acted on my feet with the feeling of a "bucket of boiling water". As a result, the doctors gave me general anesthesia. The feet were burgundy, swollen and hypersensitive. I felt like a little mermaid who, together with my legs, promised terrible pain from every step. Because of my legs, I spent 2 weeks in the hospital and was discharged of my own free will."
I didn't feel like eating my favorite foods
“It will heal like a dog” - this is how Irina Zabiyaki’s grandmother liked to say in case of any injuries. The body adapted to the situation on its own, and the singer only listened to his "messages", so she did not turn to nutritionists and fitness trainers. Sports (running, strength training, abdominal exercises) appeared in Irina's post-pregnancy life 3 months after giving birth. However, she did not strictly observe the regime - in everything she was guided by the situation.
“I absolutely didn’t want to eat anything from the constant and favorite in my diet. But the unusual was present in him. For example, kefir 2 liters a day, boiled chicken and cheese cakes. In addition, unflavored yoghurts and vegetables have been added to my menu."
You need to give the body the opportunity to recover on its own, and only then act
In a sense, Irina was lucky - the pregnancy did not affect the condition of her nails, skin and teeth. Despite the impressive increase of 22 kg, she did not have stretch marks. However, pregnancy affected the health of the star's hair and eyelashes.
“Although it is very difficult, in no case should you be afraid and panic. For example, my face became very thin from a sudden weight loss. But after a couple of months, everything returned to normal. Now I weigh 59 kg and my body is not going to return to pre-pregnant 57 kg on its own."
