I delivered 4 months back and my tummy is still hanging, especially lower part. Relatives keep commenting and it is making me feel bad. When did you start seeing any change after pregnancy?
Once your doctor gives the green signal (usually after the 6 week check), light postnatal yoga and walking does wonders for the core. Don't jump into crunches early. Patience plus consistency is the real trick.
After my C-section I was in no rush, the doctor said wait till the wound fully heals before any core exercise. I started with gentle walks first. Be kind to yourself, the tummy takes its own time to go down.
Honestly breastfeeding helped me the most, it burns quite a few calories and the uterus shrinks back too. Don't crash diet while feeding na, your milk supply needs the nutrition. It slowly settles.
Beta your body just did something amazing, give it time. The belly that grew a baby won't snap back in a month and that's completely normal. Eat well, move a little, sleep when you can. The rest follows.
After 2 kids I'll tell u straight, it's 80% food and 20% movement. Home cooked meals, less sugar, lots of water and walking daily. No magic belt or tea works, that's all marketing.
I didn't have time for gym so I just did 20 min walks and small home stretches when baby slept. Cut down on sugar and fried stuff slowly. Realistically it took me almost a year, don't expect overnight.
