My baby is 4 months now and the belly is still there, feels so loose. Im not able to fit in any of my old clothes and it makes me a bit low. What worked for you mommas? Pls share, no crash diet stuff.
Honestly give your body time first, that belly doesnt go in a day, it took months for me. I started with gentle walks once doc allowed, ate proper home food, and the tummy slowly shrank. Dont rush into hard workouts right after delivery.
After my c-section i was so eager to lose the belly but my doctor said wait till the incision fully heals before any core exercise. I focused on walking, breastfeeding (it really helps the uterus shrink) and rest. Be patient and gentle with yourself yaar.
With a newborn and work i had zero time for gym, so i made it realistic, short walks with the baby in pram, stairs instead of lift, and cutting out the fried snacks. Small consistent things added up. Get your doctors ok before starting any ab work.
First, please be kind to that belly, it grew your baby. I cried looking in the mirror early on but it does get better. Give it time, eat well, move gently and dont let anyone pressure you. You just did something huge.
Breastfeeding genuinely helped my tummy come down, it burns extra calories and helps the uterus contract back. Add light walks and balanced meals once you feel ready. No crash diets while feeding please, you need the nutrition.
Both times it took me a good 5-6 months and thats normal. Walk daily, eat clean home food, stay hydrated, and start postnatal core exercises only after the doctor clears you. Slow and steady, dont compare with celebrities yaar.
