Delivered 4 months back and the tummy is still very loose and bulgy. Doing nothing much because of the baby and feeding. Anyone who got their stomach back, pls share what worked for u.
Your body has just performed a miracle by bringing a new life into this world, so be grateful to it. Instead of rushing to flatten your stomach, pray, stay positive, and eat nutritious foods to heal from within. God has made our bodies very resilient, it will heal beautifully in its own time.
Hey, don't stress too much about the post-baby belly right now, trust me! Drink lots of water, enjoy your baby, and start with super light postpartum exercises only when your doc gives the green light. You look gorgeous anyway, let your body heal first!
Give your body some time, it took nine months to grow that beautiful belly! I started with light walking after 6 weeks and wore a maternity belt occasionally which helped my posture. Focus on healthy eating and breastfeeding, the stomach will shrink slowly on its own.
Focus on a clean diet with lots of protein and complex carbs rather than starving yourself. Since I had to watch my sugars even after delivery, eating balanced, low-glycemic meals naturally helped me shed the baby weight slowly and safely.
Honestly, let's be realistic—it takes time and effort. Once your doctor clears you, start with pelvic floor exercises and deep core work, not typical sit-ups which can worsen diastasis recti. Consistency with diet and clean eating is key.
Having a baby in your arms is such a huge blessing, so please don't be hard on your postpartum body. I lost a pregnancy before, so when I finally had my baby, I realized that a loose stomach is just a beautiful mark of motherhood. Take things very slowly and prioritize your health first.
