I am so glad someone posted about this! I am having SERIOUS body image issues due to my post par-tum body c-section belly. My first pregnancy (which was 3-4 years ago) I gained the same amount of weight and weighed the same, I was able to have a normal birthing experience and do not remember my belly being so flabby. I also have a significant Diastasis Recti that I didn't have last time, which is also making my belly poof out, almost making me appear as if I am still pregnant.

I know I am still hormonal and everything (my baby is only 2 1/2 months old), but I really can't look at myself in the mirror and I don't want to be naked in front of my husband (my husband is not affected by the way my body looks and says I look beautiful, but I really want to cover up my abdomen when I am in front of him) I have literally cried about the way my belly looks and the size of my pannis or what people call "muffin top"

I know mood affects motivation, which is why I just joined this forum. So thanks to those that have already posted about how they were able to get their bellies back.

that being said, anyone know of some good exercises for our lower tummies??

I had my daughter naturally, but had an emerg. hysterectomy 2 weeks later so I have a HUGE scar and no feeling. I do bicycle crunches, and they seem to work slowly but surely.
