My baby is 4 months now and the tummy is still there yaar, none of my old clothes fit. What did you all do to reduce it slowly? Not in a rush but feeling thoda low about it.
I totally understand how hard it is to look at your body after delivery and feel unhappy, dear. But please remember your body just did a miracle. Give yourself grace, eat well, and let your body heal first.
Haha, honestly, give it some time! It took nine months to grow that beautiful belly, it won't disappear in nine days unless you have some magic wand. Focus on your baby and let the mummy tummy be for a bit.
In our joint family, my saas made me wear a soft cotton saree tied tightly around my belly after a few weeks, and gave me ajwain water. It did help with the bloating and back support. Ask your elders, their traditional tips actually help!
Get active but be realistic about it. Walking is the best way to start, along with pelvic floor exercises. Don't rush into heavy core workouts or extreme diets, especially if you are breastfeeding.
Actually, breastfeeding helps contract the uterus faster, yaar. I didn't do any crazy diets, just ate ghar ka khana and walked. Give your body at least 6 months before worrying about the flat stomach.
Please be very careful before doing any exercises, especially if you had a C-section or any complications like diastasis recti. I had severe back issues post-delivery, so I'd say ask your doctor or a pelvic floor therapist before starting anything.
