Its been almost 5 months since my delivery and my tummy is still so loose and saggy. honestly it makes me feel low when i look in the mirror. what worked for you mommas? any belts or exercises that actually helped?
After my c-section the loose tummy bothered me too. Be patient with yourself, it took months. Once doc cleared me I started gentle walks then slowly core exercises. Dont rush, the body needs time to heal first.
Honestly time, good diet and core exercises is all that works. After both kids my tummy took about 6-8 months to tighten with walking and basic ab work. Belly binders help support but dont magically flatten it.
I totally understand, I cried looking at my belly in the mirror initially. It does get better slowly, you carried a whole baby. Eat well, stay hydrated, and be kind to yourself. It's not going to vanish overnight and thats okay.
Breastfeeding actually helped my uterus shrink back faster, the doc said so too. Combine that with patience and light activity. Dont start any crash diet while nursing, your milk needs nutrition.
Dont be harsh on your body sweetheart, it just did something amazing. Slow consistent walks, good food, enough water and rest. And get the green signal from your doctor before any workout, especially first few weeks.
With limited time I just did short 15 min core routines at home and lots of walking pushing the pram. Realistic expectations matter, it eases over months not days. Skip the expensive belts marketing, basics work.
