Exercise

[girlygirl]

How long will it take roughly to tone up a post natal tum, if I do ab execises, walk and eat healthily every day?

Also, am I supposed to hurt the next day? I don't mean in agony or anything but just tender?

Post natal tummies are funny things. Don't get hung up about it, but just carry on as you are.

I would say it can take 18 months to settle down.

It is usual to 'feel' it the day after exercise, but if it needs painkillers you are obviously doing too much too soon.

Enjoy your baby. Looking after him/her will give you plenty of exercise.

Thank you very much Ethel. That's fantastic advice.
