Post C section bellies?

Alyssah09 · February 2013

Hello ladies!

I am 19 weeks pregnant with baby #2 and with my oldest son I had a C section and I have always had the "apron" belly. I will have a repeat c section in July and I am at 221 right now (I don't want to get above 230) Any ladies mind sharing post C section bellies and your progress so far? I tried for 3 years to loose weight and was never successful

Thank you so much!

Bumping?

tequilagurl · February 2013

I have had 5 C-sections. Before baby #5, I lost 40 pounds doing weight watchers and kept it off 2 years. I went from an 11 to a 3. I still had a little baby bump, but not too bad. Then I got pregnant with #5 and have never got the weight back off. Hopefully, this will be the time! Oh, as I was eating much healthier with baby #5, I only really gained in my belly. HOwever, I let the bad habits return while I was nursing and just kept gaining!! Good luck with the baby!

i had a c section at 35 years old. I gained 62 lbs during pregnancy. It took 2 years to get my body back but it can be done

I had a C section over twenty years ago and I do have the little pouch. When I was at my smallest it was hardly there so yes you can get rid of it but be prepared to do a LOT of ab work. Good luck

Here is a recent thread with lots of pictures to motivate you. They definitely motivated me. I had a c-section and a vbac.
