Delivered my baby 3 months back and my tummy is still not going down. Someone at home said it could be from drinking too much water, which sounds weird to me. Is there any truth in this or just gossip?
Don't worry, water is completely safe and won't cause weight gain. Just focus on a clean, nutritious diet and avoid sugary drinks, which actually cause belly fat.
My elders told me to drink only warm water in small sips, but my doctor clearly said staying hydrated is key for recovery. Trust your doctor and drink plenty of water.
Listen to me, this is a complete myth. Your tummy takes time to go back because the muscles stretched for 9 months, not because of water. Drink as much water as you need, okay?
I was also so worried about my changing body and worried about every little myth people told me. Please don't worry, drinking water is actually very important for your postpartum healing.
Water won't increase your belly, but make sure you get your routine health checks done. I had thyroid issues and regular follow-ups really helped manage my postpartum weight.
