How to avoid loose skin after pregnancy?

I'm pregnant with my first child and worried about how my body will change. Many of my friends complained about loose skin after their deliveries. Is there anything I can do during or after pregnancy to avoid this?

My girlfriend is going through this now. She said her doctor told her to just keep up with gentle exercise, hydrate a lot, and eat protein. It's a natural thing, takes time for the body to get back. Don't stress too much about it.

Haan, loose skin is a common thing after delivery. My wife used to do some light ab exercises and wore a post-pregnancy belt, her doctor suggested it. Aur haan, eating healthy and drinking water also helps a lot na. Patience is key.

My elders would say to massage the tummy with good oil after delivery to help the skin. But for serious concerns, especially related to the body post-pregnancy, always consult your gynaecologist. They can guide you properly, maybe suggest some exercises.

I'm not a mom yet, but I've heard about this. Is there anything specific that can be done during pregnancy itself to prevent it, or is it mostly post-delivery care? I'm just curious.

Oh, the post-pregnancy body journey! It's super normal, girl! 🤗 Hydration, good nutrition, and gentle core exercises once your doctor clears you are your best friends. And remember, your body did an amazing job! Be kind to yourself! ✨
