My baby is 7 months old now and the lower belly just refuses to go, my old jeans still dont fit. I had a normal delivery so wondering what is safe to start with. Anyone who got their tummy back, how did u do it?
Please be patient and kind to yourself, the belly takes months to go down and that is completely normal. I felt low about mine but it did slowly settle. You grew a whole baby, give your body time.
Once your doctor clears you, gentle walking and slow core exercises help over time. Dont rush into heavy workouts, especially early after delivery. Healthy eating along with that made the real difference for me.
After my c-section I had to wait around six weeks before any activity, so please dont push yourself. Gentle movement once healed and good food slowly helped. Comparing to others online only made me feel bad, so I stopped doing that.
