HOW TO TONE C SECTION BELLY!!!!

I had a c-section with my son after being in the hosp in labor for 4 days. My son just turned 8. I don't know if it's possible to return to your original non-injured state after having all the abdominal muscles severed and then stitched up again. I work out 2-3 hrs/day typically 5 days week and although I feel very strong my lower stomach still has 'the pouch.' I thank God every day for my child who I wished and prayed for 17 years before finally bringing him into the world. I can deal with 'my pouch' :-)

I have lost about 70lbs since having my daughter 4 years ago. I too had a c-section. My lower mid section to this day is still a problem area. I have lost inches but do have a bit of access skin. Now I was over weight before getting pregnant and this maybe part of the reason. I do lots of leg lifts, crunches, reg sit ups, and twisty situps to help work the area. I find that it helps. As for the access skin, unless I get a tummy tuck, I am just going to learn to love it, like the rest of me

I've had two C sections.... my first pregnancy in 2008 I gained 60 lbs (whoa, I know)... then my second in 2010 (two years later) I gained the normal 30.... so now it's 2013, I have lost 36 lbs since then and then stomach is just still there. I've decided this year to really get at it, and work very hard to shed the weight and the stomach. I've been doing the Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred DVD but I don't do it everyday. I've been trying to run and do a lot of cardio to lose some weight and then the Shred to tone up the extra, it seems to be doing some good I've noticed a lot of differences already. I think the extra tummy will always be there but we can do our best to make it as attractive as possible, I would say your baby is only a year old you shouldnt be too hard on yourself, you can do it! Keep at it and even if you can't "lose" it.... you'll certainly lose elsewhere and feel good about yourself.

I had a c section 2 yrs ago. Through jillian michaels videos and kickboxing my stomach is almost flat again. At belly button its 29 inches, 31 in at the widest point. I gained 35 lb during preg and gained a few more after. My biggest tip is to engage your core by sucking in your stomach whenever you remember to when you are just walking around etc. stand up straight!

Lots of cardio and strength training will tone it right up. It can be done! I've had 3 c-sections but will never post pix of my stomach- I'm way too shy for that, lol.

My stomach used to be the only part of my body that I never complained about...nice and flat. Then I gained 60 lbs during pregnancy and had a C-section. The weight has been gone for awhile now, but everything shifted around. My stomach absolutely has a pouch and I think it has to do with diastasis (the muscles never completely grew back together after they were cut during the C-section). I believe that the muscles stick out a bit (and the pouch covers it). My dr. has basically told me that the only thing to do to get rid of it is a tummy tuck. But, I'm giving diet and exercise a proper try first. I'm mostly okay with the pouch now... mostly.
