    My nutritionist told me pilates was the best thing to get rid of that area.

    First of all, congrats on the babies! And take heart, that area can be hard to train in general....let alone after a c section! I had a c section 7 years ago and it is tough to strengthen. Pilates and yoga seem to help...not only to look better but feeling better too! Hope this helps:)
  • I have had 3 children, and the last was an emergency c-section (so no bikini line) just a big old vertical scar. So there is extra stuff there that I don't want to be there.

    Sorry, I don't have a solution to our problem, but am very interested in knowing what works best too!

    Joyful in the Journey,
