[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For my first, 5 months. I was hanging onto 10 extra lbs until I stopped eating chips and cookies at 3 months and then the weight fell right off. But my stomach didn’t get flat again. It wasn’t jiggly, though, it just looked like I was 2 months pregnant. [b]I guess my uterus was permanently stretched out.[/b] I’m 4 months PP from my second baby now, and 2 lbs heavier than my pre-pregnancy weight. I expect I’d lose it if I stopped the junk food again. I’ve been using a Bellefit corset this time but it’s not helping much. I doubt I’ll ever have a flat stomach again. Breastfed both babies. Walked a ton with the first but not as much with the second, as it was a winter birth. No other exercise. [/quote] This isn’t a thing. You need to build your core back. [/quote] What is the best exercise for this post c-section? Regular sit ups? Planks? Something else?[/quote] PP in PT here. After my first c-section, my midwife said to hold off on planks until at least 12 weeks. If you have diastasis recti like I do from my second pregnancy, sit ups and planks will worsen it. Mine is mild, 2.5cm, and I didn’t know I had it until my initial PT visit. She had me doing hip and lower ab strengthening at first, progressing to oblique work like bird dogs and dead bugs. I’m at 2cm now and still need to be cautious about upper ab work and planks, as well as jogging. [/quote]
