Saggy belly after pregnancy...is this forever?

    Same as @Anagram: but it's saggy in a way that I don't think exercise or diet would help. I wish I could afford a membership at a gym with child care, at least I feel like I would at least improve things.

    @Mrs. Detour: I totally understand! I started wearing jag jeans (they have a built in panel to keep everything in instead of a zipper! I guess I just need to be patient.

    @Trailmix: Thank you! I guess I shouldn't be so hard on myself. I don't expect to wear a bikini or anything but it's the belly flap that makes buying clothes so hard.

    @pwnstar: Thanks for being understanding. I am not trying to be vain but just want to get a handle on if this is permanent or not.

    My body type before kids was pear-shaped with a fairly small waist and flat stomach, but big hips, bum, thighs. I'm 11 months postpartum with my second and to an extent, I don't think my flat stomach is ever coming back. That said, I think I've made vast improvements though barre class since it's so core-targeted.

    Related to the barre class thing: there are some women in their 50's and 60's in my classes who have AMAZING bodies and are in serious good shape. That said, it is always obvious to me which ones are moms because they tend to have a bit of remaining stomach pooch. So I do think it's just kind of a "mom thing," unfortunately. But at least we're in good company
