While there is no fixed period to return to your normal self after delivery, give yourself a timeline of six to nine months to reach your goal. However, remember that you have carried a baby inside you and your body may not look exactly as it did earlier. Make realistic and achievable goals and do not be too hard on yourself if the timelines aren’t met. Reset them and work again towards reaching the desired target.
