Stomach after pregnancy

How long did it take for the skin to tighten up after you had your DC?

I remember it took a while after DS was born and I wasn't sure if that was because I had a c-section with him.

I've lost 17 of the 20 lbs I gained with DD but I still have a pooch... obviously, I am not thinking it should be gone 10 days PP, but I was just curious what other women experienced. Chat Icon

Re: Stomach after pregnancy

I'm 7.5 months PP and it's definitely not as toned as it was (i'm working on it!) but I don't have a pooch anymore... it flattened around 5 months PP.

Re: Stomach after pregnancy

I was 23 pounds lighter than I was when I got pregnant 8 days after having her....but dont go by me.. cause I was having insane BP issues.

I remember my stomach looking more normal around 3 weeks pp.

Re: Stomach after pregnancy

Hasn't happened with me and it wont. I also think that the older you are, the less elasticity you have. Younger women tend to fare better. I just asked DH to put some $$$ aside for this soon-to-be-40-year-old's tummy tuck.

I lost the baby weight by 2 weeks, but it took about a month to feel comfortable in jeans without hanging out.

Re: Stomach after pregnancy

I am 7 weeks PP.
I wore a really tight belly hugger called the "Squeem" from amazon & wore it almost everyday & night.. took a day off here & there b/c it was so tight & I lost the bloaty/pooch within 3 weeks. Friends are amazed at how my belly looks. Now I just have to work out to get toned.

I don't think mine ever went back to the way it was. With DS I would say after about 5 months I was almost back to the way it was after I worked out and lost all the weight I gained. DD however destroyed my body.Chat Icon Tummy tuck solved that problem! Chat Icon

Re: Stomach after pregnancy

17 of the 20?!?!?! Thats amazing!!!!!

IMO it will never be completely the same again but it could take a year or so. I JUST read an article about how it has a lot to do with hormones that make us prone to bely fat.

Re: Stomach after pregnancy

Took about 3 months to get it flat again, but I didn't really start working on it till 6 months PP where I was at the gym, running on the tread and doing push-ups. Although Aruba was my goal. Now that we're back from vacation I've been slacking

gotta get motivated again

Re: Stomach after pregnancy

While I lost 41 of the 50lbs I gained, my belly is SOFT! Just recently I have noticed that it is firming up a tiny tiny bit but its going to take a lot of work this time around. I think having 2 kids in under 2 years and gaining so much weight (in my case) just destroyed me. I am 8 weeks pp tomorrow and Monday I am going to start doing some serious ab work! Im so afraid to hurt myself but I can't deal with this anymore.

I don't feel "stretched" out from being pregnant, I just need to lose weight everywhere(I was the heaviest in my life before I got pregnant).
