Anyone else out there with a wobbly hanging tummy

Just had my 3rd child 8 weeks ago and my tummy has seen better days. I know it's early days but not only do I have a few pounds to shift, my stomach is like an empty sac and really bringing me down. It's just hanging there and sooo unattractive, I have to tuck it into my big pants! Don't have the bottle or the cash for a tummy tuck so if anyone has any super ideas to make the appearance of my tummy improve even slightly, I would love to hear from you.

hiya, i had a c-section just under 6months ago and my stomach gives me the creeps. i have a paunch that hangs over my scar, the skin around my belly button is sort of crinkly, sore and still stretchmarked. im using decleor prolagene gel as its supposed to be good for stretchmarks and improving the skin tone. and its slowly getting better. i used three stretchmark creams throughout my pregnancy and still got them in the last few weeks. big hold em in knickers are always good when im going out, im still in my maternity trackie bottoms when i go to the gym as its comfy against my scar. my best advice is not to look at it!! and stay away from full length mirrors, they are evil!! good luck

YOure baby is 8 weeks old
she he is a third child
i am being harsh i know, but this is perfectly normal. complety and uttlery normal. happens to everyone, they just dont admit it.
when your child is three and it is still exactly the same, then you can think of tummy tucks, but until then, you should remmember that this is the natur4al thing that happens. tummies look like deflated balloons.

My 'baby' is 20 years old and I still have stretch marks. I hate them but on meeting some old school friends the other week (we haven't seen each other since we left school) I mentioned these - they thought they were lovely!!!! Gave me a whole new outlook on them!!! I am very fair skinned and I have tried everything and nothing helps!!
