Postpartum nutrition plan recommendations

Hello,

I’m looking for recommendations for a qualified nutritionist/dietician/PT who could build a straightforward plan for postpartum fat loss.

I want someone who respects that even postpartum, I want to get back to my existing weight and into my previous clothes, and can help with a straightforward meal plan for someone in the newborn trenches.

UK based but ideally want online support so they can be based anywhere.

I understand my body will be different initially and that it will take time etc, but I personally want to work with someone who can help me with that sooner rather than later.

Thank you

Low abutting placenta

At my 20 week scan, I was told my placenta is anterior/left lateral wall low abutting (slightly covering my cervix), but that this usually resolves as the weeks process. I will need a scan at 32 weeks to measure the progress.

I wasn’t told much by the midwife at the appointment, she just told me not to worry and these resolve. However, I thought I’d just ring the community midwife (now 22 weeks) who told me not to do resistance training or any lifting.

I’m confused firstly because I was not told at the 20 week scan to limit my activity or that this is a concern. She told me just to carry on as normal.

They’ve also told me not to fly, which again was not communicated at the scan.

Does anyone have experience of something similar and continued to train/fly? I swim, run, and do resistance training. I feel that if these were a concern, she would’ve said at the scan? Not require me to call to find out what the advice is two weeks later?
