my tummy

[Riley's Mommy]

i know that it isnt going to bak to normal anytime soon, but i was woundering when it is they say you can start sit ups?

also anything else i can to to tone it back abit?

id like to try and help it along a little bit at some point

 

If you've had a C-section I think they say 3 months, or is it 6 weeks? Either way, just take it slowly. If you've had a vaginal delivery I think you can start whenever you feel ready

Its six weeks even with a vaginal birth.

 

Wow Beanie I didn't know that

 

[Babylicious]

Defo 6 weeks

Medically its 6 weesk, but you will know when you feel ready too!

thanks ladies. wow thats quite along time isnt it.

i think its to allow the womb to go back behind the pelvic bone isnt it.

 

[mrs_tommo22]

I think so keslo, but worry about it in a f ew weeks, no one will exoect you to jump into shape that quick hun

It's to do with muscles knitting back together - if you do them too early you can permanently damage the muscles and then you'll never get that flat tummy back (that's my excuse anyway )
