Did the butt change after pregnancy? Understand why this can happen

oglobo14 September 2026 at 07:45

During breastfeeding, many women notice that the body begins to return to measurements close to those from before pregnancy, but one specific region may show notable differences. The butt may appear less projected, with less volume or even more flaccid, even when the weight on the scale is already close to that of the pre-gestational period.

The explanation for these changes lies in the body composition alterations that occur during pregnancy and can extend into the months following childbirth. These transformations go beyond simple weight loss or gain.

According to Dr. Chris Lima, from Clínica Michelon in João Pessoa, who works with gluteal harmonization and body remodeling, the change can have different causes and is not necessarily related only to the amount of fat. He explains that in the postpartum period, women can lose fat, muscle mass, and undergo other structural changes that affect the contour of the glutes.

The article also mentions other related content, such as texts about the "naturalized butt" phenomenon among celebrities, changes in gluteal contour during menopause, and the concept of "tired butt" linked to lifestyle.

Why this matters

The João Pessoa region has a significant population of young mothers who experience these body changes in the postpartum period. The article offers a medical explanation for a phenomenon that many women go through, demystifying the idea that only weight determines body shape. The information can help readers understand that changes in gluteal contour are common and have physiological causes, not necessarily being the result of lack of exercise or poor eating habits.

Photoperiod: how plants know summer is over

Plants don't measure temperature to know when the seasons change, but rather the photoperiod — the relationship between the length of day and night throughout the year. Through pigments in their leaves, they can accurately detect the length of nights, which is much more reliable than heat or rain for determining when they should flower or prepare for cold. That's why in September, even with temperatures above 30°C, lettuces bolt, spinach takes off, and strawberry plants begin preparing themselves, responding to their biological clock rather than the thermometer.

Psychiatrist Arthur Guerra warns that persistent changes in sleep and feeding can be signs that something is not right with mental health.
