Any moms out there that had c-sections?

I had a c-section with my second child and had gotten up to 224 before I lost 75 lbs a couple years ago. My stomach never got totally flat. I'm not sure what your desired ending weight is, so maybe if your goal weight is less then mine you might have less of a stomach, but due to where the scar is - I think we will always have something there. But then who knows if you do a lot of crunches (not my thing), then that might help as well. Good luck! And feel free to friend me if you want.

My pregnancy nearly left me dead, but the C-Section was necessary due to really bad health problems that I didnt know I had...But when you deliver an almost 10lb instant TODDLER, yeah, Im not banking on having a flat stomach again! LOL!!!!!!

After 70lbs gone, I see a much smaller stomach, but I definitely have some loose skin. After I lose the next 70lbs, Im pretty sure for me, I will need some reconstructive work done...

Im not going to hope for a flat stomach when all is said and done, Im more focused on eating only healthy foods, no junk, no processed... will keep the exercise going... and that is what Im going to focus on....

Csection and a vbac. I got up to 200lbs with my first. My youngest is now 13 months. I did Insanity, running an biking. I have the smallest pooch left but it's going away slooowly. I didn't do any ab work cause I hate it lol you can see my belly in my profile pic.

4 c-sections and almost there!

I had a c section...and I plan on having a flat stomach! I'm 12 weeks post partum, and I have a "dunlop" but when I was fat before I had one as well...when I lost the weight it went away. Here's to hoping it will again when I lose the weight!

I've had 2 c-sections & the tummy never gets totally toned after. I even had two trainers tell me so. You can hope to get rid of almost all the fat by doing tons of cardio & toning, but not the 'looseness'. The bottom line is that they cut through skin, your abs and nerves: The trainer told me how those nerves and blood vessels around the area are practially dead & gone after being sliced up, so blood & nutrient & exercise 'flow' just aren't ever going to get to that area like it should. I'm fairly vain, so I'm considering lipo whenever I'm done having kids... it's really frustrating never wearing dresses because there's always just a little pouch popping out of my silouhette. I'm sick of little kids poking it at church, asking "What's that?" and people thinking i'm "preggo & just not telling people yet.". ULGH. You just have to learn to dress differently. My whole wardrobe is based around my tummy being hidden now.

i have had two csections and now weigh 112 and my tummy is flat.

I am just getting started, but I know what you mean about having a flat stomach after a c-section. The upside down shelf look sucks. I am convinced that in order for it to look like it did before kids, I will need a tuck. But if I lose enough weight, I will be happy regardless. As long as it isn't noticable in clothing, I am fine with it so far. Maybe after the next pregnancy they can do a little tuck right after delivery to smooth things out. Wishful thinking I know.

You look fantastic. Can I ask how tall you are? I'm shooting for a goal weight of 115, the last few pounds probably being a bit more for "vanity" and hoping that the last small layer of fat over my abs will melt off and I can show off the muscles that I can feel under that little layer of fat.

I've had 3 c-sections, was up to 200lbs with my first and never got below 180 with any of them. I'm down to 123-124 not, and yes there's still a pooch sort of thing, but mostly noticable when I bend over...I'd LOVE a tummy tuck someday, and a boob job...and lypo on my butt lol but for right now I'm pretty happy at where I'm at for haveing 3 kids 5 and under.

I had three c-sections, my last one was 15 years ago. The most weight I gained during a pregnancy was 60 pounds (yikes)! I've never been serious about exercising till now and have not had a flat stomach since before I got pregnant. I've always been told by my gyno that it will never be flat because of cutting through the muscle and all that.

I have had 2 c sections and I only have 10 lbs left to reach my post baby weight, my question is what did u do to loose the pooch? Any info will b helpful, Thank u

I've had 3 c-sections - in 2002, 2005, and 2008. My heaviest pregnancy weight was 210 (when I went in to have my last baby), and my heaviest non-prego weight was 167.5. I am currently at 156-ish, on my way to my goal of 140, and the only part of my body that I am completely unhappy with is my hangy belly skin. I guess it will never truly go away without surgery, but hey, I love my sons, and wouldn't have it any other way.

I had a c-section myself. I went from 165 lbs to 248 lbs with my pregnancy. With one of the diets I went on I got down to 180. The pooch really went no where. It shrank some but as others said, it became flab. One of the doctors told me that it is hard to loose the pooch. Not that it can't be done. Good luck to you.

had two c sections, one because of position of baby, second was an emergency. they had to make a second scar/ incision for the emergecny, but my stomach is almost flat, just has the two scars. both are low laying transverse insisions. hopeing for a vbac with baby number 3! you can do it!

i forgot to say, my heaviest pregnancy weight was around 260, lost 100 lbs within 3 months of delivery, and i am around 150's right now, still have an almost flat stomach, i think it just depends on your body. i also had two ten lb babies! and my last baby was born at 33 weeks!
