I'm 14 months pp and have lost all of the pregnancy weight, as well as 5 extra. I also had a csection.

My tummy flab isn't going anywhere. Probably ever. That being said, I don't vigorously work out, and definitely don't have the time to either.

Everyone's different though, so you never know!

It did somewhat after my first pregnancy but not this time.

@MamaMoose: I'm sure it can for some people! Mine looks stretched out and definitely isn't the same.

It's still pretty fatty since I haven't lost all of my pregnancy weight, but it's tight fatty. If that makes sense!

I have been wearing a bellefit postpartum girdle and it has helped my flab amazingly! It's not a cure all but I've bounced back from having two kids close together.

After #1 yes!!! I wore a bikini and looked great!

After #2.... I will never wear a bikini again......

Do you have a diastasis? It's where the stomach muscles split and results in a 'mummy tummy', I think it's pretty common with twin pregnancies since we're extra-stretched. I still look about 5 months pregnant because of mine, it's so annoying bc I feel like everywhere else is looking ok but my stomach? Not so much

Mine did for the first. I'm 4 months PP with my 2nd and I can feel toned muscle under the flab, so there's hope! I'm not going to worry about it until I wean though.

@matador84: be ready to either sell that to me when I get KU or give me a quick review on it? I have been eyeing those! And I saw your belly: OMG.

How old are you? Because I'm just thinking that might have something to do with it?

I have always had a flat stomach that I sadly took for granted, but after having LO when I was 30 (she's 2 now) it just hasn't been the same. And I watch what I eat, exercise 5-6 days a week (including 4 days of barre, which is pretty core-intensive), too. I think my stomach looks pretty good, but still - there is extra skin that is just hanging on for dear life

@matador84: I am investing in one next time. I was soooo naive and believed my mom who was all "breastfeeding will make you lose the baby weight right away and your body will be back to normal in no time." Now I know better!!!

@sunshineandsushi: I have been working away at mine for 9 months, and it has gotten better and better but it's still not totally where I would like it to be! Mine's not fat, it seems like it's stretched muscle or something that pouches out still a bit. Have you had a trainer look at your posture? One thing that has made a huge difference is building muscle to pull myself back from a belly out pregnant posture to a tilted back pelvis not pregnant posture! I don't know if it's going to get back to where I am totally satisfied with it, but there has been slow, steady improvement.

@meredithNYC: I still looked a little pregnant at 9 months pp. and then I was pregnant again! Nope I refused this time! I haven't worked out at all either.

Mine did -- probably b/c I lost a ton of weight due to the stress of being a parent and having a very demanding job. It's not exactly the healthiest way to have lost the weight, but I'll take it. My belly button will never go back to how it looked before though. It's all stretched out instead of being a nice tight little innie.

I've lost a lot of weight recently. I'm still sort of flabby from pregnancy at 19 months pp. Over the past 19 months though, I've noticed times where I could feel my stomach tightening back. I still have stretchmarks, but I don't care about those.
