Its been almost 4 months since delivery and my tummy skin is still loose and saggy. I dont expect magic but kuch toh kiya ja sakta hai na? Pls share what worked for u.
Beta, in our times, we used to wrap a cotton sari tightly around the belly after delivery. Also, gently massaging the area with warm coconut oil or olive oil helps bring back the skin's elasticity. Do it regularly and have patience.
Haha, welcome to the 'jelly belly' club! Honestly, unless you have a team of Bollywood trainers, it takes its own sweet time. Just wear high-waisted pants for now and enjoy your baby, the skin will figure itself out eventually!
I totally understand how hard it is to accept these physical changes after giving birth. But please remember your body just did a miracle. Speak kindly to yourself, use some nourishing cocoa butter, and give your beautiful body the love it deserves.
Your body has created a beautiful life, so cherish these marks as a blessing. Focus on staying positive and eating fresh, wholesome food first. God has designed our bodies to heal naturally over time, so give it some space.
My mother suggested traditional oil massages, which definitely helped with skin texture. But for muscle tightening, my doctor advised waiting at least 6 weeks before starting any abdominal exercises. Always check with your doctor before trying any tight belts.
Arey, skin will automatically get tight slowly, don't worry at all. Just do some light household work if you feel fine and apply mustard oil or ghee on your stomach daily after bath. It takes some months but it works.
Please be very gentle, especially if you had a C-section like me. Your internal tissues need to heal completely first before you think of tightening anything. I waited for 3 months before even using a mild post-pregnancy support belt.
A major part of skin recovery is actually internal healing and collagen production. I had to maintain a strict high-protein, low-carb diet due to my sugar levels, and that actually helped my skin snap back faster. Eat clean and stay hydrated.
I felt so sad when I first looked at my tummy post-delivery, it looked like a deflated balloon. But I realized this skin stretched for 9 months to keep my baby safe. I am currently just using a simple moisturizing lotion and accepting my new body.
I am in my 38th week and my stomach is currently like a tight watermelon, so I can't even imagine it getting loose! But from what my friends tell me, shapewear and a lot of patience are your best friends post-delivery.
Honestly, it takes a lot of time, so don't rush into anything. My baby is now 2 and my skin has mostly gone back to normal on its own with just basic walking and healthy eating. Give yourself at least a year before expecting big results.
Tummy skin tight karne me thoda time lagta hai, ho na? Immediately tension mat lo. I used to apply cold-pressed coconut oil daily and did light walking once my stitches healed. Slowly body normal ho jaata hai.
