Had c-section in July. Am lighter than I was pre-pregnancy, but have huge stomach. After birth of first dc stomach went flat.

Have been doing 200 crunchies a day since Xmas, stomach now harder, but no smaller, still as big as ever in fact.

Cannot fasten up pre-pregnancy trousers. Is this normal?

Can't blame job unfortunately. Am a teacher so constantly and literally running to keep up all the time!

Well, just think of how fat you'd be if you had my job then.

i am now back to size 10, but still have a sticking out tummy after CS 2.5 yrs ago. loath it. have done no exercise, but am a naturally slim person so feel a bit aggrieved. thought of doing sit ups, but they bugger my back!

You need to strengthen your core muscles around your abs region. I had a CS unfortunately three years ago and my tummy still sticks out, despite being at pre-pregnancy weight. I recently purchased this from Amazon so hopefully it will help to trim my midriff along with aerobic exercise.
