Mommy's that have had a c-section!!

[shelbyxox]

How long did it take you to get back to your pre-pregnancy size? Or at least to a size you were comfortable with? My baby girl is almost 3.5 months old and I still can't fit in any of my pre-pregnancy shirts or the jeans. I've already been on an exercise routine for the last week. I know I have definitely lost weight since her birth, but I cant seem to get rid of the extra pudge above the scar... Any tips would be appreciated!!!

It is possible to get back into them but you need to do other exercises besides walking. Running may show you more results. I joined the gym after my son and I went at least 5 days a week for 2 hours a day and ate clean and ended up losing 60 lbs and going from a size 17 to a size 7 in about 9months. Idk if you could join a gym but try running or Hiit workouts. If you search fitness blender on youtube they have amazing workouts (:

I give up fitting into my pre-preg jeans and whatnot, since I barely fit in them when I wasn't pregnant lol. It just ***** that I still feel so jiggly and gross!

I've had 3 c-sections the first two took me a few months to get in to jeans but I was never back to pre pregnancy weight which was totally fine by me since I was underweight , this last one I had my son 6 weeks ago and dropped 35lbs In 3 weeks and no I'm not breast feeding, and I have always had that little pudge above my scar even after working out, it just stayed

I would try the belly band because they say it can take up to a yr for your skin to shrink back down so it may help... For me it didnt but it all depends on ur body hard to say

I never fit my clothes again. I was 135-140 pre pregnancy and jumped close to 200 lbs. This time i am determined i will fit my clothes again i at least want to see a size 9 button and zip :)

I gained 75lbs and never got back to prepreg weight. That saggy bottom stomach never goes away. Idk what it is about c sections but that bottom stomach is a killer. I've lost weight, but the stomach still remains. My doc told me tummy tuck was my only option too :(

[shelbyxox]

Idk what to do, I walk a lot, and it doesn't help at all. It's more of the fact that my stomach is still somewhat wrinkled and jiggly, I have lost a lot of weight since having her... I gained 40 pounds and she stretched me out a lot being 9 pounds. Would the belly band work now that I'm almost 3.5 months postpartum?

[heatherr322]

Yeah all the weighy i gained i lost in about 4months... I gained 60lbs... But my son was huge and streched my belly out soo much and three yrs later it still looked like sh it but i wore a girdle everyday and i hated it... Dr said my only option was tummy tuck =( i think i might get one after this baby maybe in like a yr... Its pretty depressing to have a saggy nasty stomach but i just dont know if i can go through with it or not

i lost all my baby weight within 2 weeks both times, but i was breastfeeding

[itsmechinita]

i have had 2 c sections and each time i lost 30+ lbs in the first 3 weeks but i stricktly breastfed both of my kids... i heard wearing a gurtle helps with that though

[heatherr322]

Ever since i had my 1st my stomach has never been the same. I was preprego weight but not my stomach.. Ima have to get a tummy tuck when im done having kids

I was a size 9 pre pregnancy and now I'm a size 17 :( I'm only 4 weeks post partum though

Try getting a slimmer or pregnancy band to hold everything in. Also WALK. Some girls never go back down completely. Some it takes a year. With my first i was smaller (size 8) when i got out of hospital than before i got pregnant(size 14) but i also lost 30 lbs. With my second i gained 60 and never lost but maybe 10 lbs.

But i also sent preterm and only gained 20 pounds with my twins.

Have you tried post partum belly band. I used mine from the first day after my csection. I was in my prepregnancy jeans in three weeks.
