Csection momma here! Hoping to one day see my scar in the mirror instead my "mother's apron". I'm nearly 4 years out though and finally getting healthy. Need to keep up with this crazy boy!

I totally hear you on this both about the gut and the boy! Mines 4 end of August and he's always into something......he's like curious George

C-section mama here too! I'm a little over a year out and still working to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight and lose the apron.

17 months post csection.. I need to get my weight/eating under control. I have used breastfeeding as an excuse long enough!! (Still breastfeeding though!!)

Hey,

I also had an emergency c-section. My plan was to have a natural no drug birth. But unfortunately things didn't go well and I had to get an emergency c-section. This was in July 2013. My daughter will be 3 on July 13th.

I'm starting to eat clean, and becoming a active user of MFP, Fitbit and Nike + anyone feel free to add me to any of those.. I'm looking for friends to motivate each other and of course give a little competition on Fitbit

here's my fitbit url https://www.fitbit.com/user/2DSRN7 and Nike + Running App is akg713

Yes! Curious George is a great analogy for this age I think. He's more verbal and comes up with stories and needs to know how every. little. thing. works!! My son is 4 in May, so our boys are close in age!

perfect description my baby boy just made 4 two days ago. He was born via c-section.In fact I have 3 kids via c-section. I do have a question will my belly get smaller I hate it

I'm due to have my 3rd baby and 3rd c-section, 3 weeks tomorrow. I aready had gained weight before this pregnancy and was losing weight before finding out i was pregnant, i'm planning on getting back to it when my little princess is here

Has anyone had c-sections and lost that horrible apron? (Never heard it called that.) Or will even losing weight not touch that section...?
.

After my first son i lost alot of weight i used to jog on a treadmill every other day and did strength training in between. I managed to lose the apron but had a small 'pooch' (i think thats what its called). Im sure if i lost more that would gone eventually too. I remember my bmi was 23 at that time.

I also need to lose the apron. I had a c- section 7 weeks ago. I like the treadmill idea but when would I find the time being a new mom. Are there any exercises I can do with my baby like walk everyday?

Yeah walkings fine too and swimming good. I found the treadmill useful because of convience, you can jump on it anytime you can fit the time in, you dont need get dressed or your make up on. I'm getting a elliptical trainer this time.
It took about 15months to lose all the weight and the apron. I did alot of toning too but i didnt start that straight away because of recovering.

I am a year postpartum, lost 18 lbs, and my scar is starting to peek out from under the apron.

Mom of 3 kids within 4 years and all c-section I currently on my weightloss journey. My last baby just turned 2 this month. I go up and down with my weight and still can't see my scar cause of my tummy pouch but within two years I have lost about 25lbs and this time I'm not going to quit, I have another 20lbs to go.

This thread is so inspiring. Mommy of four here with 4 c-sections. This last time has been a real struggle and I am looking for accountability. It keeps me motivated. Please add me if you are interested! My baby is 8 months old and I have a 7 year old, 5 year old and 2 year old.

Mommy of two both C-cections. I have been struggling with my weight loss since my first and she is 9 years old. About 6 years ago I was single and 10 lbs away from my goal. So close i know
Then i meet a guy and got married. The first year of our marriage he got hurt and could not walk for almost 9 months. During all of this I put on about 30 lbs due to me not being able to go to the gym and wirki6ng full time and taking care of him. So frustrating. Well it's now been 3 years and I've put on another 20lbs and I also had another baby. My husband has just informed me that he is no longer attracted to me and if I don't lose the weight I will be the one making this marriage miserable for him. So hurt by this. After dealing with my emotions and gathering myself back together I have decided that I am no longer on this weight loss journey for anyone but myself. I would love to have some strong women to talk with and be supportive with. Sorry this was so long just needed to get it out in the open.

Mjtaylor - I either work out in the morning before the kids are up or in the evening after they are in bed. Or I ask my husband to watch them while I work out if it's before bedtime. I can't do it with them around either.

hi mama! I had one in March of 2016. I didn't even consider fitness until I was 6 months postpartum (just wasn't mentally ready yet). In late August 2016 I started my journey and derailed around the holidays, but finally hit my pre pregnancy weight in April of 2017 and have lost 57 lbs total since having my daughter. I am 33, breastfeeding still and losing the weight was soooo hard for me. It never "fell off" like everyone tells you if you are nursing. But I was eating terrible, and once I took my diet into my hands, and made it cleaner, and started weight lifting, everything changed. You can get your body and your life back, and your scar will heal beautifully! You got this mama!! Feel free to add me. Or any mamas. I need fellow mom friends fo sho.
