Delivered 5 months back and the tummy is just not going yaar. Still looks like im pregnant when i wear fitted clothes. What worked for you all, any belt or exercise? Feeling thoda low about it.
The uterus takes about 6 weeks just to shrink back to its normal size. Practically speaking, focus on pelvic floor recovery and gentle walks first, and avoid heavy core exercises until your doctor clears you.
Beta, don't rush into losing weight. Drink warm water, wear a cotton belt (belly wrap) after a few weeks, and eat nutritious foods like gond ke laddu to heal your body first.
It took nine months for your belly to grow, so give it at least that much time to shrink. Breastfeeding helps contract the uterus naturally, and you can start light walks once your doctor gives you the go-ahead.
Be patient with your body, especially if you have hormonal issues like thyroid which can slow down weight loss. Focus on regular walking and healthy meals, and keep tracking your levels with your doctor.
Honestly, losing the belly takes time! I am still pregnant and dreaming of all the delicious foods, but I know postpartum recovery should be slow and steady, not rushed with crash diets.
I am telling you from experience, there is no shortcut to losing the post-pregnancy belly. Focus on eating balanced meals, breastfeeding if you can, and staying active with walking. It will go away slowly.
