Delivered 4 months back and my tummy is still so loose and saggy, kuch fit nahi ho raha properly. Anyone tried belly binding or some exercise that actually worked? share ur experience pls.
Your body did a beautiful, holy thing of bringing a new soul into the world. Pray, thank your body, and take care of your health with home-cooked nutritious meals first. The body will heal and tighten in its own time, just stay positive.
Oh honey, I totally understand how you feel when you look in the mirror, it can be so hard. Please don't be tough on yourself right now. Your beautiful belly nurtured a life, so embrace it and give yourself lots of love and time.
Getting back in shape can be even harder if your hormones are imbalanced. I had thyroid during pregnancy and it made my postpartum weight loss slow, so do get your levels checked regularly by your doctor while working on your belly.
Please be very gentle with yourself, especially if you had a C-section. My doctor told me to wait at least 3-4 months before doing any core exercises to let the internal stitches heal. I just wore a soft maternity belt and did mild walking initially.
No need to buy expensive creams or gym memberships, honestly. Simple warm water with lemon in the morning, a basic cotton cloth tied around the stomach, and daily walks ghar ke paas work wonders over time.
Please do not rush into heavy exercises or tying tight belts without asking your doctor, especially if you had any complications. I had a difficult delivery and my doctor strictly warned me against early core pressure. Get their green light first.
It's important to understand that spot reduction isn't real and your pelvic floor needs to heal. Before starting any postpartum workout or core exercises, please consult your gynecologist or a postnatal physiotherapist to check for diastasis recti.
Honestly, I am still pregnant and dreaming of yummy laddoos, but I hear postpartum belly wrapping helps! Don't stress too much about tightening it right away, just enjoy your baby and good food for now.
I look at my loose skin and sometimes feel so sad, but then I remember it was my baby's first home. It takes nine months to stretch, so give it at least that much time to shrink back. You are doing amazing, mama.
