How have ur tummys been left?
Hi Everyone,
I have had 2 c-sections, my first was an emergency and my second was planned. My babies are now 2yrs and 6months and I have been left with this god awful funny shape and overhanging horrible-ness. Im convinced this as happened coz I have had c-sections, but now it is really depressing me. Granted iv still got a little bit a weight to lose but im back in my pre-preg jeans but have this horrible sagging belly. Im only 22 and I feel like my life is gona be cut short, i really wany surgery but cnt afford it, i will never be able to wear a bikini or any clothes that normal 22yr olds mite wear, and its really getting me dwn.
Its also affecting my relationship with OH because I cringe wen im naked or if he touches me coz im that digusted with myself, and although I believe him wen he says he loves me the way i am and he wudnt change me for the world, im just wrapped up in my own head thinking how horrible I look. Is anyone else experiencing this, do u have any advise on how I can feel better or how i can reduce my saggy tummy xxx

please dont feel that you wont ever feel good about ypurself - you are young and that is def a positive thing and wll mean you should lose weight easier n exercise will have better effect i think. there are loads of nic fashioable clothes out there that look fab but still hide the "mummy tummy" (as my hubby calls it!) and i always buy slightly longer line tops and jumper dresses that hide my tummy but still look fashionable. i do sometimes wear bikinis on hol altho i shouldnt really cos i have overhang and stretchmarks too but i try not to let it bother me, it makes me more of a woman...im far from perfect but i have my 2 beautiful babies.
hope u feel better soon hon, have confidence that over time, u will feel sexy once again xxxxx
Hope yours gets better soon x
im only 24 too hun and i feel down that im not going to wear what i used to and have been told off repeatedly by oh for cringing when he touches me! dont mean to do that its an automatic reaction.
Claudia T is so right, we may not look perfect anymore but we are all blessed with little angels! and i know my skinny, single, party girl friends would love to be in my position so im not going to waste my life feeling down about how i look.
hope its not getting you down too much

I can totally understand how your feeling, as this is how i feel at the moment too. I didn't have a section, but pregnancy really took its toll on my figure! I was a size 10 before & now am a 14/16.
I've decided to take the bull by the horns & go swimming once a week! The thought of putting a swimming cozzie on IN PUBLIC, frightens the crap out of me, but i keep telling myself it'll be worth it! Is there something like that you could do hun?
Just remember your sooo not alone in how you feel. My OH is pretty supportive as well, but as we all know "its not the point"!!!
Anytime you need to chat, you know where we all are xx

I put on a lot of weight with all my pregnancys and the more of it i loose the worse the saggy bits get.
Charlie is 8 weeks old and my diet starts today, i got a wii fit for christmas and started using it 4 days ago and its a killer but i think its going to help a lot with shifting all the baby weight x
I didnt have a csection but know what you mean, i have a bit of a sag but my skin feels all stretchy round my tummy and it bloody wobbles, its just been 8weeks so i'm hoping with exercise and stuff it will get better, but it doesnt half make me feel sad sometimes especially when my nana pick on it but thats another story xxxx
