It depends on your age, how long ago was your baby born and the type of exercises you do for your tummy.?  It could take months to get your tummy back into shape but honestly, it will never be the same as it was before having "surgery" and giving birth.  I have had three children (the first and third were C's because they were breach) and after the second C, my tummy has not been the same.  I am 14 months down the road and it is much better but not the same.

If you haven't been working out much, you don't have much muscle. You don't have a weight problem, but your weight is more fat then muscle, giving you the soft tummy.  Building some muscle will mean a higher metabolism, which helps you burn more fat every day, and keep you from gaining weight later.\n\nSwimming is a great exercise to do this.  You should try to swim three or four times a week, for at least 20-30 minutes.  If you can only swim twice a week, you will get better results if you walk or run for at least 20-30 minutes in between.\n\nIn the end, don't have a goal of losing weight, or having a firm tummy.  Have a goal of exercising 4-5 times a week, and making your body a healthy body with endurance and strength.

yes depending on how long you had your baby. I have had 3 c sections, give yourself at least 6 months before you think of flattening that tummy. the only exercises you should be doing for the first 6 months is taking care of the little one. after that once you have Dr clearance crunches are the best to flatten a tummy, but do not push it unless you are an active person. if you regularly did exercises before the baby then your stomacher muscles will be a lot stronger then if you did none at all. Me well I never listen to Dr's, I started pulling myself up with a bar after 3 days, but I am also a very active person. Swimming is excellent for the whole body especially after any surgery because the water acts as a buoyancy mat so to speak for the body. But only do what your body can handle, I am a Physical instructor and a Muay Thai Fighter, and a swimmer so my body can handle a bit of tummy exercises. CONGRATULATIONS on the little one I hope he/she brings you many years of joy and laughter.

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.

If you've had a c-section you're pretty much SOL.  Since they cut through your muscle and it scars over, it'll never be what it used to. \n\nIf you've had a vaginal delivery you have a better shot.  Keep in mind though, even if you get mucscle tone back - if your skin has stretched too much you might have a 6 pack underneath but you won't be able to see it due to the extra skin.\n\nThat said, cruches are the best ab toner.  Elevate your feet  to get a better work out on the lower abs.  Do side bends to work the obliques (make sure to stand straight up with a 10 lb. weight in each hand and bend to the left and right without bending forward).  Also, pilates is great for abs.  That V thing they do will about kill you though!\n\nGood luck!

Best thing to do after having a baby is lose weight slowly to keep it off. Talk to your doctor. \n\nIf you are breastfeeding you may lose it a little faster? But you have to eat right. Well you want to eat right any way. \n\nI lost the weight when I had my daughter 18 years ago, I am 39 now. But I lost it then slowly. You have so much to worry about with a new baby any way. \n\nBut a few new clothes. Then try to take care of yourself and loss weight the right way. Slowly, if you want to keep it off. I weigh less now then when I first got pregnant even.

I've had 2 c-sections, so I know what you mean. Pilates is the best for that. Not kidding it works miracles. I can feel like it's not doing much while your doing it, but the next day you'll be sore!!\nDon't be intimidated after a couple times of doing it gets easier to do it right. I've used the at home videos and classed at the gym. Just 2-3 times a week will do wonders. \nI wish you the best, I know where you are coming from

It really depends on your natural skin elasticity.  I also gained A LOT of weight during my pregnancy and after losing it,  was stuck with a lot of stretch marks and loose skin. After a while though, it wasn't as drastic as it was.  Remember, for pregnancies, it's 9 months up, 9 months down. But you will NEVER have the same body again.  Sometimes it gets better, sometimes worse... but it's all worth it when we see our kids, right?\n For some women, they are fortunate enough to regain elasticity naturally.  Some will swear by cocoa butter or expensive gels and creams.  \nMy suggestion is to work out, eat healthy, try the cocoa butter approach to help moisturize your skin and if it still doesn't work, then maybe a tummy tuck or body lift is your only option.  Either way, Good luck!

Best are the stretch exercises. Lie on tummy. Lift legs, 1 at a time ,then both together. also lift head. Best to check on "yoga" exercises yourself . Must be done properly. Is easy.\nBesides , drink lots of water ,take care of your diet . Eat fresh fruits and vegetables , raw or cooked and less fat and meat. Start the morning with a glass or 2 of water and OM Yoga. And other stretch exercises . Take walks.\nSugar is the main cause of tummy fat. Try it out. Just reduce intake of sweets and sugar. Avoid Cola

Don't drink any other beverages other than water, cut back on sweets and fatty foods, not completely, just limit it. Start an exercise program that you like, maybe dancing?  Actually, sit-ups is not really going to burn the fat on your tummy, only reducing calories can do that, but if you drink a lot of water, it can reduce the water retention in your tummy, I take it you are female, we store water there.  That should do it.  Oh, to help lose some extra water retention, use a sauna, just don't stay in too long and drink, drink, drink, water.  Don't think of it as a diet or you will be obsessed with food, just kick the soda habit if you have one. Stay away from pasta.

cut out all breads and starchy foods like pasta and rice.  Cut down or out on your sugars as well.  Those turn to fat faster than anything else.  Eat high protein meals like fish, chicken, vegatables, etc.  Eat 5 to 6 times a day, small meals.  Salad with a can of tuna, no mayonaise, just tuna on bed of lettuce with carrots and a light oil and vinager dressing.  Do not eat past 7:00pm.  Breakfast should consist of oatmeal, bran cerial, etc.  Excersize ever day.  If it's dancing, or walking/running, riding a bike.  You simply have to get your metabolizm up and burn more calories than you take in.  Cut out sodas.  Drink plenty of water.  8 or more large glasses a day.  Water flushes system.  \nThe best excersize for loosing the tummy is leg lifts.  If you can do one, you can do two.  Hang from a bar, hard if you don't have a machine, but you need a bar that is over your head and will support your weight.  Hang from it, then simply lift your legs, bending knees and try to touch your chest with your knees.  This works the abdomen, lower back, and sides.  The "spare tire".  Crunches help but don't work out all the muscles.  The diet it the big thing.  More meals, less quantity in each meal, makes your body get used to eating often so it digests food faster.  High protein diets and low fat are the key.

My first son, I lost the weight easily...with my second son it was harder. I cut my portion sizes down a little, drank alot more water, and did alot of walking (cause that was easiest for me...just put the kids in the stroller and go). It give you time with your kids and it's the best to get back to pre-baby weight. You can try sit ups in the evening before you go to bed to tighten your tummy. I did alot of this and was back in my old jeans before my son turned 9 months old. It's not fast, but you do see results after a few months. I didn't have the time to keep a regular workout.

Isolation of tummy exercises won't resolve the issue. Most people carry weight around some part of their body. This happens to be your area. You are lucky cause you can hide it! I would suggest to reduce your fat and sugar intake cause that would assist with the diet. \n\nGo running twice a week for two hours. Do spin and boxing classes and refer to the website for some weight training and ab exercises: www.bodybuilding.com\n\nMake sure you eat all low fat low calorie dairy as well! Be persistent cause if you do you'll see the results. \n\nGoodluck!

You actually can't make your stomach thin with JUST sit ups.  Sit ups (and other stomach-focusing exercises) will help build MUSCLE in the stomach (abs) area, which can help, but to actually make the bulge disappear you'll have to ALSO do some type of cardio.  And, watch what you eat.  You can't expect to lose the tummy and not make some changes in your diet as well.  My advice, have a cardio regimine, AND do the situps.  And don't get frustrated if you don't see results right away... there is no magic thing out there that will make it all happen in a week.  Keep at it, and you may be surprised with what you see in a few months, and if you keep it up, your tummy will be sexy as any pop stars.  Oh, but you should probably talk to a doctor before you start any kind of exercise routine.  It's always a good idea.  Good luck!
