LAST YEAR WHEN MY SON WAS BORN I HAD TO HAVE A C-SECTION THAT I REALLY DIDN'T WANT BUT HAD TO DO... SO NOW HERE I AM A LITTLE OVER A YEAR LATER TRYING TO GET RID OF THAT BABY GUT.. I HAVE THE TOP SMALLER NOW TO WORK ON THE BOTTOM... BUT I AM WONDERING IF.. SINCE THEY DID CUT THRU MUSCLE OR SO I HAVE BEEN TOLD ISN'T IT POSSIBLE FOR IT TO HEAL TO CLOSE TO WHERE IT WAS BEFORE ??? OR AM I JUST IMAGINING THAT I AM FEELING MUSCLES GETTING STRONGER IN THAT AREA?? I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT I'M NOT CRAZY.. ANY BODY ELSE KNOW ABOUT THIS ?? I HAVE HEARD THAT IT'S POSSIBLE TO GET A FLAT TUMMY AFTER A C-SECTION AND THEN I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AND TO JUST GIVE IT UP.. (BUT THEN AGAIN I WAS TOLD BY MY FRIENDS I WILL NEVER BE CLOSE TO FITTING IN MY OLD CLOTHES BUT SINCE MY NEWER CLOTHES ARE FALLING OFF ME I PROVED THEM WRONG :tongue: )

    It'll shrink down...it just take us some time.

    Doing Insanity and Hip Hop Abs have made my abs stronger.

    I had two csections back to back.

    I would take having a csection vs pushing out a baby any day LOL

    oh and i seen a video on facebook/youtube of a lady who had two csections....doing P90X, Insanity, and Brazil Butt Lift you can't tell she had a csection let alone kids except by the scar on her stomach. Her stomach was so tight and toned up!!!

    I have had three c-sections and every time I was able to fit into my old clothes. So, there shouldn't be any reason why you shouldn't be able to if you keep doing it right.

    3 c-sections here and I swear part of my belly lays beside me at night. It is possible. But i heard you have to really maintain or it will return to it's boggy state. I am wondering if it is possible for me at all, but i think I can always improve no matter what. And if not, I have 3 beautiful healthy children to show for it.

    Insanity has a lot more cardio and is one of the toughest workouts there but I love it!!

    Beachbody has payment plans or you can try amazon.

    at the moment I'm not too worried about it because I plan to have one or two more babies and it doesn't bother my husband..
