The issue was the extra skin. I still to this day have a small flap of skin that hangs, but my stomach is flat again. That sounds so utterly disgusting... but it's truth! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-mamas-tummy-recovery-time#post-15715 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 01:28:19 +0000 Boogs 15715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's been 7 months for me and my belly is still changing. I've heard that recovery time for your body is the same amount of time as your pregnancy. So, don't be too worried, your body knows what to do. Things may not be like before, but it will get better over time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-mamas-tummy-recovery-time#post-15659 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 22:19:22 +0000 LivsMama 15659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah those folds will go away, dont worry. That was weird for me too. Chances are you still have some puffiness there too, due to fluid retention. That will also go away </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-mamas-tummy-recovery-time#post-15648 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 21:40:18 +0000 venice4504 15648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Livsmama- good to know. Honestly it feels tighter each day I'm just so not used to the little skin folds! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-mamas-tummy-recovery-time#post-15636 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 20:56:45 +0000 LivsMama 15636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>itll definitely go down more. At this point, you still have some belly and some loose skin. My skin significantly tightened up between 8-12 weeks. The pooch willl keep going down, but youll have to do some lower ab exercises to strengthen those muscles back up to (close to) original </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-mamas-tummy-recovery-time#post-9617 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 13:58:32 +0000 bakingAbug 9617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes, mine is going down day by day. I'm 2 w pp but I have hope that eventually it will be gone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-mamas-tummy-recovery-time#post-9596 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 13:45:50 +0000 Andrea 9596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think your belly will still go down more! i think my belly returned to normal on its own but it took longer than 8w definitely. i had a vaginal delivery, though, so unsure about c-section tummies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-mamas-tummy-recovery-time#post-9592 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 13:41:49 +0000 Mrs. Bee 9592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i never went back to my prebaby belly alas even though I lost all the weight. i don't know how i will without a ton of exercise (which i can't find time for), or liposuction (which i'm too scared to get!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-mamas-tummy-recovery-time#post-9570 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 13:05:24 +0000 venice4504 9570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those of you who have had a c-section tell me how long it took you to lose the belly. I'm 8w PP right now and have about 5 pounds to lose and I really need to tone up my belly. Does it continue to naturally go down a bit or is this really what I'm working with? </p>
