What causes bulging tummy after C section & its management? - Dr. Sunita Pawar Shekokar

After caesarean section or even after normal delivery most of our females complains of bulging tummy. The most common reason for bulging tummy is you are eating high sugar diet after delivery because in our Indian diet they give lot of ghee, sugar, all carbohydrate and females don’t do any exercise. Usually we advice to do the exercise 6 weeks after the delivery or caesarean section. This exercise should include the abdomen exercise and strenuous exercise to reduce the fat on your tummy. So you have to do the exercise after delivery or caesarean section after 6 weeks.

That’s stupid!!
After c sec don’t do strenuous exercise!
And don’t reduce carbs a lot bcz it affects milk supply

Women may have diastasis recti after delivery, so not advice for everyone. Because if people do exercises it can make it worse. Do not do strenuous exercises after cesarean, unless you have your stomach binded up or have a support belt to keep your abdomen together. Good luck ladies🙏😊

Really? I had my ovaries removed and now i have a weird bulge. 2 months later my stomach still stings.
Apparently you have to be careful as you can damage your muscles if you do stomach exercises too early. I work hard and my stomach is still swollen.

Lady this is a bunch of bullcrap I did eat a very well balanced diet after I had my c-section I was moving furniture around while I was still in the hospital after having the c-section so to sit here and say that it's because women are not exercising after giving birth during the c-section is bullcrap

Sorry, but NO! This is a complete misconception! Even after a laparotomy operation on your womb - so without actually delivering a baby, but having that scar down there, like a C-section - you can get that line of belly fat unexpectedly over your outside scar. Even after working out for 30 years, being lean, having an ultra flat abdominal wall, eating no sugary stuff at all. You can still start to develop that fat layer over your outside scar after a week after the operation. It is quite frightening and discouraging and can put lots of stress on you when it hits you just out of nowhere. You don't need to eat sugary stuff or be inactive. It just happens. And it's shocking. I have the idea that the body somehow covers the inner scar - which is over your outside, visible scar - with that "protective?" fat tissue. And I would like to add that even if you were the fittest lean person on Earth before your surgery, there is NO WAY you will do intense abdominal crunches with that scar six weeks after the cut. Intense cardio workouts yes, but ab crunches - NO.

It's not even possible to stand up straight after c section for almost 5 months, mnz body suffers from pain during movements.
I think best time to start exercise is after 6 months
