pregnancy flabby c-section loweer belly

I'm right there with ya, my friend. I need to know that this "pooch" I have can be gone too.

I've had 2 c-sections, so I know exactly what you're talking about. I'm not quite at a point where I feel comfortable taking a picture of it yet, but I have found one exercise that has been really effective in tightening up that area. I'm scared to think of what it might look like if I hadn't been doing this the whole time. I asked the owner of the gym I go to and she told me to do this very simple exercise.

1. Lay flat on a exercise bench with your rear right at the end.
2. Put your arms over your head and grab the top of the bench.
3. Keep your knees about half bent and lift your legs.
4. Start out doing 3-4 sets of 10 reps, increasing as it gets a little easier.

I also sometimes do this on the floor if I'm at home, and I like to mix it up by crossing at the ankles and alternating.
Good luck, and when I get a little more comfortable all over with my body, I'll send a pic!

I stumbled into this blog when looking for inspiration a few weeks back. Hope it helps!

I am part of the 2 C section club, too. I hear it take crunches, crunches, crunches. Esp. your lower abs. Some have said only a tummy tuck will get rid of it. I plan to work on it as much as I can, but it is a reminder of motherhood to me. A badge of courage!

Bump, I want to know also! I had 2 c sections.

<----has had one c-section.

more pics in my profile.

Wow. Great advice and inspiration!

Lol is tht what its called a pooch? i definatley have one it looks like a money bag haha!!!

All help and advice extremely welcome, well done girls who have got rid of theirs x

Hah, I just had my 4th C-section, so here's hoping I can get it at least semi-toned. Going to try for sure, cleaning up my diet for now, and will start exercising once I'm cleared after my 6 week checkup.

Thanks for this post and to those who posted pics and blogs... I was just thinking of this same thing this morning. I didnt have a c section but I did have 4 kids and pregnancy has taken its toll on my belly.. I got whats called the mothers apron. Since losing the weight that I have so far, it has gone down some but is still there and hangs when I bend down or something :indifferent: Hoping it goes back to normal once Im done

HI, i just posted a six inches in 1 month post with my pics in it. I did 16 weeks of bedrest (6 in the hosptial) and ended with a c section. My son was in the hospital for months where i ate mcdonalds at least once a day! I started waitressing at my families restaurant just three weeks ago along with running ( on days i do not work) and doing some 30 day shred a few times a week! I drink water mostly and cut back on all things involving sugar. Boo! Good luck!
