I’m 8 weeks postpartum and I still look 5 months pregnant!? I had a c section so I’ve been taking it easy and walking but still I thought I would have lost a bit more weight by now. Anyone else!?

I'm almost 3 months pp and I still look pregnant too. I'm trying to walk as much as I can and I'm doing light home workouts but not really shifting either. I'm wondering of I've got diastasis recti...I've been doing workouts for it but not consistently as it's hard with the baby

I'm the same I'm nearly 7 weeks PP and genuinely still look 5 months pregnant with a round belly. Also wondering how to shift it a bit as I'm walking as much as I can but feel it's just not budging at all. Feeling rubbish about my body was something I expected postpartum but didn't think I'd still be unable to wear any of my clothes without having a round bump.

Yep, feel like I still look pregnant almost 9 week later. None of my clothes fit me. I used to be a size 8-10 and now I think I’m a 14, if not bigger! It’s really getting me down 🥲

I should have said I also had a C Section so don't know if that's related but definitely feeling a bit down about it.

I had a c section too @Steph so I know what you're going through. Its the worst

I didn’t have c section and nearly 8 weeks PP but deft got Mamas pouch which I don’t think will shift unless I do some targeted exercises. Don’t fit in any of my pre-pregnancy trousers either so bought a couple of cheap jeans a size bigger to wear.. think it’s completely normal. I lost 1.5 stone since giving birth but still got a stone to go. Understand the feeling but don’t put yourself under pressure- our bodies did amazing carrying our babies 😊
