My daughter is 11 days old now - I'm not expecting miracles, but I'm starting to get concerned about the lack of clothes that fit me. Some of them don't fit because of my boobs which although is annoying as I bought lots of shirts ready for breastfeeding and now it looks like they'll be useless; I'm feeling okay with that and will happily buy some bigger sizes.
However a lot don't fit over my belly. I haven't weighed myself yet and don't plan on doing so for quite a while as I don't want to start worrying about losing weight just yet especially with breastfeeding.
I meant to ask my midwife but I forgot and she discharged us yesterday as little lady is doing fantastic (I'm fast learning she doesn't like to hang about; labour was so quick I had her at home with husband delivering her and she's gained over 100g each time she's been weighed so after only losing 4.4% of her birth weight she's now above her birth weight) but does anyone know how soon I can start doing crunches to try and tackle my still very present bump?
My sister says she knows someone who ruptured by doing them too soon; but I'm not sure if she had a c-section or not
