aiyoh. mine no need to hutch my back, but stand straight already can see the lump. Previously when I was breastfeeding, the lump not so obvious and somemore can lose weight. After I stop bf (for 9 mths), I start putting on all the weight again. Now I sign up with Planet Fitness and trying to control my diet. Hopefully it helps.
koalarie & java,
i also have the same problem, when you all sign up are you assign with a trainer so that you know what exercise to do? and how much they charge you for it?
for me worst, my boys are gg 16 months liao. previously i bf till 12 months, fat but not so bad, now tummy really sticking out like few months preg like that.

Ah may, I tried both grindle during my 3months maternity and corset after started work; yet, seems like not working much that I gave up after two/three months.
My husband who used to be training those army recruits in exercise, did mention that the only way to work the tummy muscle is to do sit-ups. jogging would definitely help to rid the fats faster.
Think, I am a little lazy and so wasn't persistent; there is always other things that come along the way.
Starz,
do you work? So, where do you frequent to get your clothes now? I tried to buy some clothes from CTC fashion in BP; yet I can't ever squeeze into the L size le!

Hi, can i join this discussion. i am also very sad..cos i am also size 42. i think last time i fit in size 34 or 36 or size M. now some XL pants i also cannot fit in. my bb is 10 months old...
i bfeed also but didnt help to reduce. now my breasts also sagging. anyone know hw to 'un-sag' them...
Looks like I am not alone in this.
I just given birth to my 2nd bb. After my 1st bb, I got back to my pre-preggie weight but I have a tummy, my waistline increased by 1.5 inches! My old clothes all feel tight ard the waist.
Now just 1 month after my delivery of my #2, if put on another 1.5" I think I'll drop dead.
I am also wondering what to do.
Basically, thinking of doing exercise to shed off the fats but I am not sure if the tummy will become what it was previously...
I was told that we need to do cardio to burn off the fats as we need to get rid of the fats covering the tummy area and then like Koalarie says sit-ups/crunches to strengthen tummy muscles.
Let's share our experience here in this thread...
Good luck to all of us.

i have a small pouch (those waist pouch) in front. and my waist is like 6 inches more than my previous waist. Okay, granted that this may not be the actual 'waist' but the place where the tummy is 'bulging the most' is 6 inches from my previous wasitline, ie at 32 inches!
how to get rid ? My girl is close to 2 months.
Will sit up really be able to get rid of the small pouch ? Do u guys have a pouch like me ? Sob..

hey mommies,
a good way to reduce flabby tummy, but need to be consistent and patience..
1. every night before sleep, when u lie on bed yet to fall asleep...use your palm to massage with acceptable pressure on your tummy in a circular clockwise motion. do this start from 30, then 40..gradual increase daily to your comfort. will c your tummy tighten.
2. if u are always in the office seating position..nothing better to do (hehe...sometimes work damn free mah). OR
driving waiting for green light..or even sitting in the toilet bowl...hehe do following..
use your 5 fingers to 'grab' your tummy fats, pinch let go pinch let go..for as long..this will also helps to reduct fats and tight tummy..
i tried before, did work but need to be patience.
anyone try, have result update here...

hello mommies
anyone tried osim slimming belt?
my gynae gave me one (not osim brand) after I delivered my first child. seems to work, tummy looked quite alright, just slightly rounder than before
2nd child I became lazy & didn't bother to use (too hot, not too comfortable) and ended up with a bulge on my tummy, sigh....
after 2 kids, my waist line increased by 3 inch
and I expanded from pre-prenancy size S to post-pregnancy L
and my younger girl is already 3 years old!
now I'm trying out small & frequent meals for the last 1 week. no oil, no spicy food, low salt diet. hopefully it helps, my hubby & beautician said I looked slightly slender
Oldmachdonald
on sagging breast, I noticed that too after bf my younger girl for 2 months. I didn't bf my elder girl so didn't have this problem. didn't realise bf will cause sagging
I use Clarins lotion to massage, helps a little lah. you may want to try, just approach Clarins counter & they can recommend

Hi all,
I am also concerned with losing inches off the waistline, any tips? Cos last time got abit curvy shape, now straight all the way from frontview & backview!
Hi Lee Yan,
Will take approximately how long to have effects?
Hi hippo2002,
Is it the vibrating type?
My fren tried, she said will flatten the tummy if used everyday, but stomach will be itchy. After stop using, tummy will come back.
Another fren said is not effective at all.

Just to share. I've been doing 200 crunches a day since the birth of my 2nd bb 4mths ago. Now, not only i've lost all my pregnency weight, i've also got back my pre-pregnency size! All you need is perseverance .. Now that i've started working, i reduced to 50 crunches a day, cos no time to do . .
Hi Stepford
Yours is natural birth or c-section? cos mine is natural birth, i started to do crunches from 4th day onwards .. have asked doc before that, she says ok, as long as i dun feel any pain .. i think for c-section, may have to wait for wound to heal first, cos as what u say, afraid stitches might open .. maybe can check with your doc how soon can u do tummy exercises ..
Also, do crunches, NOT sit-ups, cos sit-ups will hurt our back . . crunches are more effective than sit-ups too .. u can feel the squeeze and the tightening of your tummy when u 'crunch-up'

Hi motherof2
Your question is not silly .. My friend also ask me what's the difference and i've to demo for her .. Ya, crunches is 'half-way' while sit-ups is 'full body up' .. yes, u lay on your back with your knee bended .. for sit-ups, u can feel backpain after doing many times.. but for crunches, u can feel a thightening of your tummy mucles after doing many times .. I think guys who have gone through army should know crunches, can ask your DH to demostrate to you.
Hi freshpoison77
I didn't do 200 at one go lah .. i do 50 at a time .. ie. 4 times of 50, totalled 200 .. very siong to do 200 at one go .. also, if u do only 50 at one go, you can better concentrate at each crunch .. ie. when u crunch up, u pause for about 2 seconds before u revert to your original position.

My baby girl is already 12 months but I am still having a very flabby tummy.
I took 2 meso sessions and doc said the left over is saggy skin.
Any suggestions?

Hi Tweeny,
How much are the mesotherapy sessions? Do you see that it is effective? Really can get rid of tummy?

Mine is 200 per session.

I've given birth 2 mths ago and there's a bulge at my tummy area which looks like a waist pouch. It does not feel flabby, so I wonder if that is my womb or tummy muscle that was dislocated during pregnancy? It's looks quite funny and obvious as I'm almost back to my pre-pregnancy weight. Help!!! Any idea if it will disappear/reduce with exercise?
hi LifeIsGreat,
I also give birth 2 months ago. My tummy area also looks like a waist pouch and does not feel flabby too. I am those very skinny type except the tummy area and look very ugly now. So I also wonder if that is my womb or tummy muscle that was dislocated.
By the way, does your tummy area reduce abit already? If so,can you please share your method of reducing the tummy? Do you know finally is your womb or tummy muscle that was dislocated? I think I really have the same condition as you.

Hi Engela, the bulge reduced after 3-4mths. I think that is our womb, cos it sort of shrink further after I have abit of menses/lochia. It is still flabby now, but not as weird looking as a waist pouch. I'm quite slim too, maybe this only happens to slender women. Continue to breastfeed if you are still breastfeeding now, cos I think it helps to shrink the womb.
Now my headache is sagging skin, do you have it too?

hi LifeIsGreat,
my bb now is on formula milk. So breastfeeding will not be my choice to slim down. Did you do any exercise or wear corset or massage to slim it down? One thing strange is I cut down my diet, the tummy seems to be reduced alittle. So, I suspect it is fat.
By the way, after how long after delivery you have menses? Till now (3 months already), I still dont have menses.
For sagging skin, I have only a little cos most of the tummy are still filled. I think it will slowly become better by doing exercise or massage.
