Belly back to norm

I gave birth in April and my belly still a little bulging like 4-5months pregger. And belly button stretch widely & the dark spots still there. How long does it take to go back to normal? I had e-csect and doc advice I can start my usual exercise. Would exercise helps to shrink back my belly faster? Or not advisable to exercise too much?

My weight back to acceptable stage. Just the tummy and love handles are kinda distracting. :D Is Swimming acceptable? Meanwhile I will try jogging and brisk walking first. Thx!

Hi... please wait till c-section wound to heal completely before you embark on rigorous exercise. You can start with walking or jogging to lose some weight first. Good luck

Tummy exercises would help but best to wait a little longer . Losing weight after giving birth does take a bit of time but you will eventually get there(:

It'll take some time to get back to normal. Exercise and massage helps

Give yourself some time, and when you are ready, exercise does help!

Yeah! I’m slowly doing stretching, swimming and brisk walking. Dare not to do crunches yet. Really worried the wound will burst like those articles. :(

Post partum massage helps to reduce the tummy

I did 7 sessions but no effect on me. Maybe my skin or fats too thick. lols
