Had baby by c section on Monday just gone. Do you know when your tummy starts deflate lol? I still look very heavy and pregnant looking. I'm not sure if this is cause I had a large bump to begin with? I just thought it would deflate just a little by now!! X
 
I had my little angel 9 weeks ago, and most my belly has gone. What I am left with is a belly like when I was 1 month pregnant.

However, having said that my sister in law had her baby 16 months ago, and is struggling to get rid of her bump.

So, I suppose there is no real way of knowing.
 
I'm 7 weeks post section and I still have a bit of a tummy! Don't look pregnant any more though and I had a big bump too! Xxx
 
Are you bfing? It goes ALOT quicker!

I feel like I do but 20 weeks post section I'm pretty much how I was just a different shape, if thats makes sense? I know bfing my greedy boy has played a huge part tho!

It will go! Nothing can prepare you for your post op belly! Lol!


 
I find muscles are taking a bit of time to tighten back - I don't have that much fat on my tum, but it's still a bit bulgy as the muscles are not back to what they were before yet.

I like to think of myself as an astronaut, I've been unable to use my muscles for 9 months and it will take some time to get them back in shape!
 
I am b feeding! So hopefully a few more weeks it starts to downsize :) xxx
 
Ur more than likely still swollen aswell I'm 9 weeks post op and I know after about a week my tummy had started to strink, but I was quite swollen aswell some ppl say up to 9 months to loose everything but don't worry you've got tonnes of time to get back to your pre pregnancy shape I've lost a stone in 9 weeks and I still look about 4 months pregnant just let yourself heal first before you start trying to loose weight x
 
I had my section on a Monday and came home on the Thursday. On the day I left hospital some man asked me how long I had to go until my due date! So I know I still looked pregnant! I am pleased to say, however, that 2 weeks on, my belly is almost completely flat (excluding the little bit near the scar that's still a little stretched and not that tight yet!). I'm breast feeding x
 
I took about 6-7 weeks to deflate and stop looking pregnant and was just left with the result of a serious coco pop craving which I'm not trying to get rid off.

I formula fed and have found that the weight is coming off fine.


On tapatalk so can't see tickers :-(
Excuse the typos, phone has mind of its own.
