Do u have a saggy stomach after gibvin birth?

Question

and how long have u had it

Answer 1

yes! 5 years! and here to stay unless i can afford a tummy tuck one day.

Answer 2

I havent had any kids, I lost 152 pounds when I was 21.  I have an apron of skin that will not go away unless i have surgery. Kinda depressing when you go to your GYN and they ask how many children you have had.

Answer 3

just for a little while some peoples elasticity of their skin is quite good others not. I am lucky to be one where my stomach didn't sag that much and went back to pre pregnancy state after a couple of months. I'm pregnant again with my 3rd baby 3rd year running so i dont think i'll be quite as lucky this time round i think my stomach will just go (oh sod this i'm staying put ha ha)

Answer 4

You do have a slightly saggy tummy and that is why it is very important to do the exercises they recommend to tone the muscles and get it looking normal pre-preggie stomach. Usually you can start doing exercises 6 weeks after birth to get the muscles back in their place. If you leave it too late it gets more difficult to get it back.

Answer 5

had got mine back to almost normal after 5 years but just ruined it after giving birth again 7 weeks ago....the flab is back...maybe if i hadn't eaten sooooooo much during my pregnancy it wouldn't be so bad!

Answer 6

Unfortuneately, yes.  I've had three kids and at this point the only thing that will fix it is a tummy tuck.

Answer 7

Everything went back to normal on my body 2 weeks after I gave birth! But that isn't the case for everyone!

Answer 8

Have to agree mine is a mummy tummy too. Its just a bit looser, there is muscle underneath but a sqishy bit on top!

Ah the joys of motherhood, doing aerobics with loads of sit ups and is helping but slow progress

Answer 9

Sorry to say yes i still have a big saggy bit ...while carrying my twins my waist grew to 69inches and i had a section ..and its been 10 years and still got that saggy part ...oh well it was worth it !

Answer 10

Not all women have a saggy stomach.  Depends on how much weight they gained during their pregnancy and if they exercised during that time.  Some women are able to begin to exercise again (if no C-section) and get their stomachs right back into s**y shape!!!

Answer 11

I had 3 kids in 32 months. I wldnt say its saggy, but its not flat. Its what i call a mummy tummy. Last child born 7 years ago.

Answer 12

Yep afraid so :( My mum calls it an apron!

Answer 13

yes here to stay im afraid my skin just stressed have no excess fat just skin

Answer 14

i think mine was saggy for about 2 weeks but i am naturally slim so it sort of just flung back to normal-ish, but i have killer stretch marks tho lol, cant have everything!!
