Im in my 7th month now and my belly is stretching so fast, skin already feels loose at places. I keep thinking about how it will look postpartum, na ki vanity but I just want to take care of it early. Any oils or habits that actually helped you ladies?
Uff, same boat, yaar! I just delivered a few months ago. What I'm doing is keeping hydrated like crazy and my gynac said to do very light walks and some gentle core exercises *only* after getting her green signal. It's a slow process, but I can feel some improvement, just gotta be patient.
Honestly, a lot of it is genetics and how your skin naturally bounces back. I found that breastfeeding helped my uterus shrink faster, and that kinda helped with the tummy area, though it wasn't a magic fix. Just focus on good nutrition and gentle movement when you feel ready; your body needs time to heal.
It's totally normal to worry about these body changes after pregnancy, especially when your body has already gone through so much, like with PCOS. Honestly, it's not always about 'preventing' loose skin completely, but more about giving your body time to heal and firm up gradually. Stay hydrated and nourish yourself well, that's the main thing.
After my C-section, my priority was just healing, not really thinking about loose skin instantly. The body takes its own sweet time to recover. My doc just said to eat well and walk a little when I felt up to it. You really can't rush these things, and it's more about gradual toning later than 'preventing' it completely, I think.
I'm still pregnant, but I'm trying to stay active with walks and prenatal yoga, *only* as my doctor advised, of course. For post-pregnancy, I've heard that eating a balanced diet, staying very hydrated, and doing targeted exercises once cleared by your gynac can really help. It's about consistency and patience.
