Delivered around 5 months back and my tummy skin is still so loose and saggy yaar. Tried walking and a little exercise but the skin part is not going. What worked for you all post delivery? pls share.
Yaar here I am in my 9th month looking like a walking balloon, and already dreading the loose skin phase! I plan to just wear high-waist pants and hide it forever lol. Let's just focus on getting the baby out first!
Honestly, breastfeeding helped me shrink back my uterus so fast, which naturally helped with the loose skin. Don't rush it, your body took 9 months to stretch so give it at least a year to heal. Keep nursing and stay hydrated, it really helps.
I totally understand how hard it is to look in the mirror sometimes and miss your old body. But remember that loose skin is a beautiful house your baby lived in. Be kind to yourself, you are amazing and it will slowly get better with time.
Skin elasticity depends a lot on genetics, but drinking lots of water and doing gentle core exercises after 6 weeks helps. Just avoid those crash diets which make skin sag more. If you had a C-sec, let the scar heal fully before trying any tight belts.
See, there's no magic cream for loose skin, but dry brushing and moisturizing daily helps with blood circulation. I always tell moms here to focus on strength training once doctor gives green light. It takes time but you'll definitely see progress if you are consistent.
