I am still pregnant and also wondering about postpartum weight loss! Did any of you start doing light yoga or pelvic exercises soon after delivery, or did you wait for a few months?

Forget about crash diets, they will ruin your milk supply and strength. Just cut out junk food, drink 3 liters of water daily, and start brisk walking. Your body will bounce back naturally with time and patience.

Beta, don't rush into losing weight right now. Eat healthy home-cooked food like ajwain water and gond laddus for strength first. Once your body is strong, the weight will reduce slowly and naturally.

I completely understand how hard it is to look at your postpartum body and feel anxious about the weight. Please give yourself grace, it took 9 months to grow a baby! Focus on eating well and sleeping first, weight loss can wait.

Dhire dhire vajan apne aap kam ho jata hai jab bacche ke piche bhagna padta hai. Aap bas ghar ka achha khana khao aur thoda bohot ghumo, koi jaldi nahi hai.

I panicked seeing my belly after delivery and thought I'd stay like this forever! But my doctor reassured me it's totally normal. After a few months of breastfeeding and normal home food, the weight started melting away.

Postpartum weight loss takes time, dear. Focus on eating nutrient-rich foods like oats, ragi, and fresh vegetables. Don't start heavy workouts until your gynac gives you the clear signal at your postpartum visit.

Kadamba Sahni · Answer

I felt so insecure about my weight during the first few months postpartum, honestly. But then I looked at my baby and realized what a miracle my body had performed. I felt much better once I stopped checking the scale and just focused on daily walks.

I don't want to give any medical advice, but in my personal experience, breastfeeding helped me burn a lot of calories naturally. I also started with short evening walks with my baby after my 6-week checkup.
