@Cutiereborn, I guess most mothers believe that hot or warm water helps to flatten d tummy after a CS cos it cleanses d womb or so since u can't excercise or tie tummy for 6 months. I also did CS & I took only warm water for almost 2months, my DS is 4mths now & my tummy is bk to normal.

Yes dear, ur baby was big then hence d big tummy, mine weighed just 3.5kg, just kp eating ur normal meals, avoid cold drinks and soft drinks too, take home made fresh fruit juice instead.

@Rieme, yes it's bk to almost pre-pregnancy size, It went down d 6th week, though I still have stretch marks. I guess d hot water I was drinking helped a lot & d uda peppersoup too.

I stopped d uda peppersoup when a friend said it reduces the weight of babies, don't know how true dat is too bt I'm still drinking d hot water & eating frequent light food.

@favoredgal, I did cs and I was asked not to tie any thing on my tummy or do any exercise so dat d place will heal faster, dat was what I did.

My tummy has gone down even without tieing anything on it. For me, I won't advice anyone who was sectioned to start exercising after 6 weeks.

@Rieme, I also gave birth 9 weeks ago, I hv bn taking only warm water, no cold drinks, no pounded yam, lol, took plenty peppersoup, fruits & vegetables. I also usually place hot towel on my tummy when bathing & most importantly, exclusive breastfeeding.

It's not easy bt u hv to try. No exercise till after 6 months & with the consent of your doctor. Hope this helps.

Tnx mamas! Its military hospital in Port Harcourt, my doc in d private hospital i registered was not in town & i didnt have much confidence in d doc dat was on duty cos he has neva attended to me before.

I'll ask other nurses her name later today. My happiness is dat I hv my baby in my arms, tnx for ur concern.

My birthstory:

I went for my antenatal on d 4th & started having serious pains. A matron checked me & said I was 2cm already & adviced I go home & get my stuff if my house is close that I must be in d hospital that night.

I decided to go to my mum's place which is a bit closer & asked hubby to bring my bag so we can go to the hospital from there.

Na there wahala start, I no know say devil wear nurse uniform come as night staff. As I just entered d ward & told her why I came, d nurse begin vex o! See questions "who told u u r in labour? i dt nd any stress dis nite, abeg madam, jus carry ur bag & go to ur house, i dt hv dat time to look at any body's face dis nite". My hubby started begging her to at least check me, she angrily did & said u r still 2cm, abeg jus carry ur bag & go. I refused & demanded that I want to b admitted dat nite cos I'm a patient & it was almost midnight or i'll call d matron. I was admitted by anoda nurse only for d doctor to come in very early to tell me dat my baby's heartbeat is v low & was screaming that they shld hv checked it in d nite, I was immediately wheeled in to be sectioned & in few minutes, my very handsome boy was brought out. I gv God thanks for bringing d doc early to work. Mk una no vex for d long gist abeg.

God be praised! My handsome Prince arrived this morning. All glory to God! BS later.

Olaoyekemi, u will have ur baby in peace! Hope ur bag is at d door cos my own don enter boot. May God mk it easy for us
