My baby is almost 4 months now and the tummy still feels so loose and saggy, nothing fits properly. Im not in a rush but want to slowly get back in shape. What worked for u mommas? pls share ur experience.
I totally understand feeling off about the belly, I cried looking in the mirror some days. Please be kind to yourself, your body grew a baby. With time, rest and gentle movement it does improve, give it grace.
Breastfeeding actually helped my tummy go down a bit naturally, the body uses up the stores. Beyond that just light activity and patience. Dont stress about it, focus on healing first.
It takes time, dont compare to those quick recovery reels. I started with short walks and easy stretches once my body felt ready. The tummy slowly firmed up over months, no overnight magic honestly.
Slow and steady. Walking, eating well, staying hydrated and gentle core exercises once your doctor clears you. Tight binders some use but ask your doctor if its right for you. No crash methods please.
Dont be hard on yourself dear, it does not snap back in weeks and thats completely normal. Rest, eat well, walk a little, and let your body settle. It will come around in its own time.
I am planning my post delivery routine too. From what my trainer friend said, you wait for the doctor go ahead, then start with walking and gentle postnatal exercises, no heavy stuff early. Slow build is the safe way.
After my c section I was told not to rush into any exercise till I healed and got the doctors okay. Once cleared, gentle walks and light core work slowly helped. Be patient with your body, it did a big job.
