Im in my last month and have gained quite a bit. Bit worried about how it will go after delivery, will it come off on its own with feeding etc or do u really have to work hard? Pls share ur experience moms.
Actually, some weight drops right after birth, but the rest takes real time, yaar. Don't stress looking at Bollywood moms, our bodies took 9 months to grow a baby so let's give it at least that much time to recover!
Be gentle with yourself, your body did something amazing. A good chunk of weight comes off naturally in the first few weeks, and breastfeeding helps burn calories too. Eat well, rest, and let your body heal first.
My baby is a toddler now and looking back, I regret stressing about my weight so much early on. Yes, it eventually comes off as you run after them! Just focus on your health and your little one right now.
My saas made me those heavy gond laddus for recovery, so losing weight took some time for me, haha! But breastfeeding and running around the house eventually helped it come off naturally. Enjoy your baby for now.
Some of it goes away instantly after delivery because of baby and fluid weight. For the rest, drinking warm water with ajwain and breastfeeding helps naturally. But don't rush into heavy workouts without asking your doctor first.
Don't worry! Much of it is just baby, placenta, and water weight which goes away quickly. The rest will melt away with breastfeeding and gentle walks. 🌸
At my parents' house, my mother gave me simple, home-cooked food and made me do light walks. That gentle routine helped my body recover and shed weight slowly without any crash diets.
I totally understand how you feel seeing your changed body in the mirror. But please remember you grew a beautiful life inside you! Give yourself love and patience, the weight will eventually go in its own time.
