I don't want to be one of those people who crash diets after having my baby, but I have always had a pretty athletic body... I'm not as super-thin as I was when I was 20, but I still have muscle tone and I was proud of my hard tummy! Am I going to be able to get my strong abs back? I don't need or want a bodybuilder's stomach, but I don't want lots of flab, either. Television makes it seem like the only way to get a "normal" tummy after childbirth is by having a tummy tuck, which I definitely will not do! Is it possible without surgery?
