This family recipe worked miracles to my mom:\n1. 4 glasses of water daily.\n2. No carbs for 2 months only.\n3. A cream that is manufactured by a costarican company named ciecsa. www.ciecsa.com\n4. Drink at least 3 cups of green tea infusion for 2 months.

My wife breast fed so the extra weight just slipped off. At the end she too had around 10 pounds or so and just had to hit the gym. She focused on abdominal exercises as tolerable to strengthen that area back up (don't go overboard though, it takes a couple of years for them to heal naturally and you don't want to tear anything worse than it already is), and mostly did cardio for overall fitness and calorie burning.

A c-section is major surgery. Wait at least 6-8 weeks before\ndoing any exercise routine. Your baby is ok to lift unless\nyou had complications. I recommend low impact aerobics,\nespecially water aerobics and light stretching at first.\nThen go with how your body reacts to any activity and gradually increase the stress levels.

I would recommend getting an exercize ball and a video that emphasizes pelvic exercize.Its less harsh on your back.  I didn't have a Csec, but I did have a baby about the size of yours. People kept asking how many I was having and why I was still pregnant when I was only 7 months along. My exercize ball has been a godsend!

Shouldn't be less than a year, depending on your overall general health.  The shorter the time, the higher the chances of complications, like uterine rupture. VBAC deliveries (vaginal birth after c/s) always hold some risk, but if you are monitored closely, can be possible and rewarding.  There is also less recovery time after vag birth.

Well,ideally speaking,you should wait for 1 full year after your C-section before getting pregnant.This allows the uterine scar to heal thoroughly,thus reducing the chances of uterine rupture in your next  labour,and also to reduce the risk of the placenta attaching to the site of incision ,causing different problems.\nBUT,when all is said and done,you are only 5 months away from the 'ideal' and l have known patients who delivered safely in similar circustances to yours,so don't worry.The 'ideal' is a guide and not an absolute.

A baby, 20+ lbs. weihgt gain, etc. tends to negatively affect the size of your abdomen, to get rid of it fast,BREASTFEED, I was back to my prepartum weight in about two weeks.

It depends on your body type. It worked for one of my daughters to get rid of her belly fat after having a baby but it did hurt her back in the long run. My other daughter tried it and pulled her stomache muscles making them stretch out instead of tighting them. She is in physical therapy now. So what works for one may not work for all pepole. Just be careful and don't overdo it. Ask your doctor first!

yes, if not all the uterine contents were expelled.  Did you have a D&C after miscarriage?

Yes, you can have a normal delivery after a Cesarean. I had a c-section with my daughter in 1998. In 1999 I had a normal delivery with my son.Talk it over with your O.B.       Yes a natural birth is very pain full, but the recovery time with a c-section is very slow and pain full. Especially with a new born at home.

It is always possible to firm up your muscles.  However, your tummy may not be flat after a pregnancy.  Sometimes the stretching of the adominal wall can part the adominal muscles on each side, and allows the internal organs to pooch out a little bit...not like a hernia, but the stretch muscles can allow them to just look that way.  Pilates seem to give a lot of results in little time.

Yes.  The muscles which hold it in place get weaker after childbirth.

I have had a c-section and was not out at the time, I was a little paniced at the time but I was perfectly fine once it started.  \n\nI think you can ask the doctor to put you out, tell him how you think you will might freak out during it and he might do it for you. \n\nI hope you dont, its a really nice thing to see your baby when it is first born.\n\nYou might try asking him for a seditive to help calm you before he does anything.  It shouldn't hurt the baby at all.\n\nDont worry, when you have the C-section you WILL NOT be able to feel a thing.  You will feel a little presser but NO pain.

Congrats!I lost 70 lbs. and I found that there is no possible way to spot reduce.Even from doing crucnhes and situps I still have a layer of fat over my belly.It's muscle under there you just have to do cardio to make it show.The first place you gained the weight in(your belly)is the last place you will loose it from.Keep your diet healthy with healthy carbs and continue exercising.

some of it will go away after delivery.  The rest you will have to work off.  Start now by drinking water only and cutting back on salt.  That will help with the water retaining too.

If your still pregnant you can't. If your not, women gain weight in their bust, butt, and hips. Diet and exercise will help to make them go away unless your breast feeding then your stuck with them. If you are still pregnant then after you have the baby, do not breast feed and try to lose the excess pounds. They should be the first thing to go.
