Lose Tummy Skin

lwoods34

Hey ladies. I had my son almost 18 months ago. I worked out every day while pregnant and only took off 1 week from workout after he was born. While pregnant I gained 36 lbs and am 10 lbs below my pre-pregnancy weight. I feel I am actually in better shape NOW than I was before I got pregnant. For the most part, I love how my body looks, except for my stomach. I dont know who else is having this issue but right around my belly button area is little lines of loose skin. My husband says its nothing to worry about but I notice it. Is anyone else having this issue? I love everything else, for the most part, its just right around my belly button.

Its like my belly button looks really angry and depressed. lol. Instead of having that "O" shape, it just looks like weird and than the skin around it has little lines, loose skin I guess. I workout 6 days per week and do total body workouts that always incorporate ab exercises. I dont really do crunches because they arent really effective. Instead I do a lot of plank side crunches, plank ab holds, plank twists, yoga, etc.

Am I the the only one??

We used to live next to a plastic surgeon who did tummy tucks. He considered it unnecessary surgery unless the woman was in shape and was 5 years post partum. He said in most cases the problem was solved by that point.

I'm only 8 months out and I definitely have more tummy skin than tummy. I found it took until 2 years post partum for my belly to look normal .... and then I got pregnant again. Take comfort in the fact it sounds like it is something that only you notice

I have the exact same loose skin around my belly button. I've lost all my pregnancy weight plus some, but this loose skin hasn't gone away. I will say its gotten better. I'm only 12 weeks pp so I am still hanging onto hope that my skin will eventually return to normal.
