Postpartum belly?

Question

I’m a first time mom and I know it’s shallow to think about but I can’t help it. How long does it take for a belly to look normal again? I am 8 days postpartum and while it has gone down a lot, it’s still super soft. Like I’m not sure where that layer of muscle went. 
Would a girdle help or should I just leave it alone?? I don’t hate the way I look, I just wonder if things will go back to how they were before or not.

Answer

Just leave it alone, but try stay active and moisturise regularly. It can take a year or more for things to start settling again. You'll likely never get back exactly your pre - pregnancy look but time is your best asset right now :)

Answer

I’m 8 weeks out and it’s still a little puffy. I see signs of it going down tho. And I’m somewhat active. Just started eating healthy again. I’m on week 2. I find that diet and exercise and the belly band work well together

Answer

If you take care of yourself. Eat healthy and once you get past your 6 weeks and are cleared to workout go for it. For me with my first it took me 6 months to get my body back to a decent figure. Your uterus is mostly still contracting back to normal size and the rest will be on you. I know women who have better bodies after babies then before so don’t lose hope because you don’t like your body now 😊😊😊
