How do I get rid of my saggy post-baby belly??

[itsatiggerday]

So I'm running - and 2 months in it's not as bad as I'd feared. I'm doing sit ups, crunches, and that up on toes/elbows, keep your body as straight as a board thing, and I'm trying to eat properly. And I fit my jeans again, but nothing, nothing is shifting the saggy blob on my tummy that a) makes me look 4 months pregnant again and b) means my all nice tops still don't fit me.

Anyone got any helpful suggestions? Please, pretty please?

I think the short answer is... you don't.
You can certainly improve it, but I think it's a new permanent feature. Mine is and has been since DS2 4 yrs ago.

I'm pretty sure you can, some people do.

Apparently getting good nights sleep helps. (easier said than done, that...).

My trainer has mentionned that one of his clients had this problem and turned out that it was because she was not sleeping properly. (?) I still haven't worked out what the link between that and the belly is and how she eventually got rid of it, and never had time to ask.

Can you get a consultation with a nutritionist/trainer type of person? (preferably one who has been pregnant and had a saggy belly for a while.)

I've been training for 3 months and lost 2 stones and everything else but my belly is getting toned. (which means my old size 14 jeans are still too small at the waist and everything I own is ill-fitting.)

If I find anything out about this I'll let you know ;)

I asked my mother this question after having DS,,, the next time i saw her she gave me a savings jar labled ' Tummy Tuck Fund '.

I then cried for about a day and started putting my loose change in it, every day, sometimes 2,3 times a day.

I've guesstimated i will get mine in about 2016! lol.

June2009 congrats - well done, that sounds amazing.

Hmm surgery out, personal aversion to going under the knife unless absolutely necessary and DH cuts for a living and was completely freaked about the possible complications of EMCS when it was his wife involved so I think he'd beg me not to!

Ho hum, will see if anyone else comes along with the magic secret for us all....
