Why Your Belly Won't Shift After Baby — The Postpartum Truth
No One Told You
You lost the weight, but the belly stayed. Maybe your lower back aches in a way it never used to. Maybe your stomach still bulges by evening, or you leak when you laugh. And somewhere along the way, you started to believe this is just your body now.
In this episode of the Fitsters- Mind Body Deen podcast, Habibah a pre & postnatal coach with 13 years' experience names the thing almost no one explains: how the postpartum belly that "won't shift" is often not fat at all. We talk about diastasis recti (the tummy-muscle gap a third of mums still have a year after birth), why your belly and your lower back are one support system, the "everything in balance" sugar message that quietly works against your gut, hormones and mood, and the real toll all of this takes on a mother's mental health.
