My baby is 4 months now and the loose tummy is still there, looks so saggy. I want to get back in shape but dont know where to start, kya kare. Mommies who did it pls share what worked.
Let's be real, there are no shortcuts to tightening loose skin. You need a clean diet, plenty of water, and postpartum abdominal rehab exercises like deep breathing. Once your doctor clears you, start strength training or post-natal yoga to rebuild those core muscles.
I looked 5 months pregnant even weeks after giving birth and it made me so emotional. But then I realized my body did an amazing job. Be kind to yourself, the tightening will happen slowly with simple pelvic floor exercises and breastfeeding. You are doing great, mama!
My saas made me tie a cotton dupatta around my waist and gave me ajwain water daily, which actually helped reduce the bloating. Along with that, breastfeeding also helps contract the uterus faster. It's a slow process, so just go easy on yourself.
Since I had a normal delivery, I started wearing a maternity belt after a few weeks which really helped support my back and belly. I also slowly started gentle core exercises after 3 months. Give your body time to heal, it took 9 months to grow so it will take time to shrink back!
Hey, don't stress too much about the post-pregnancy belly, you just made a whole human! Honestly, it takes time. Focus on eating healthy and doing light walks first, the body will naturally bounce back when it's ready. Enjoy your baby for now!
In our times, we used to tie a cotton sari tightly around the stomach after delivery to help it go back in. You can also drink warm water and get a good postpartum oil massage, it helps a lot. But don't do any heavy exercises too soon, let the body heal first.
