Its been almost 6 months since delivery and my belly skin feels so loose and saggy now. The weight is slowly coming down but this looseness is not. Any of u faced this, did it tighten up on its own or u did something?
That loose hangy feeling near the belly is the skin and muscles recovering, totally normal after delivery. Mine slowly tightened over months with walking and staying hydrated. Dont expect overnight magic na.
Honestly feeding the baby plus eating proper nourishing food did most of the work for me. Dont diet hard while nursing. The tummy firms up gradually, give it time and be kind to yourself.
Beta the old belly binding cloth gives good support to loose tummy after delivery, many of us did it. But check with your doctor first, especially if stitches. Gentle malish with warm oil also felt soothing for me.
Dont be hard on yourself yaar, the loose belly is so normal. It takes a good year to feel like yourself again. Move a little daily, eat well, and breathe.
The looseness is often from ab muscle separation (diastasis recti). Once my doc cleared me i did very gentle core engaging exercises, not crunches. A physio actually guided me, you can ask for that if its bothering you a lot.
With no time and no sleep, i just focused on walks and cutting fried snacks. Slow but it works. Loose belly takes longer than the weight to go, so manage your expectations and dont compare with reels.
