Mummy Tummy

Hey,

I have a hideous mummy tummy, and the skin is all saggy and wrinkly around the puku button - gross. But is anyone else like this and does it ever go away or can you reduce the amount of saggy/wrinkles?

Thanks.

I've got that saggy wrinkly look too - stupid stretchmarks in fact the smaller it gets the more wrinkly it gets.

My mum bought this light thing from trade me that is meant to help with all sorts of things including stretch marks. I actually noticed really quickly the colour fading (like a few days) but it says 6-12 months for a noticeable difference. I keep forgetting to use it though which is a bit dumb. If I start to notice things improve wrinkly-wise I'll let you know.

Strangely I'm less worried about it than I thought I would be, though I definitely wouldn't lift my top and show anyone!!

I have the same thing - im not worried about it though - it just shows that im a mummy and i have the battle scars lol

i never got it with my first but looking at it in all its stretched glory i think after this one im gonna get it :S ill be watching this thread to see if there are some magic cures out there. lol. for those who do have them, do they look ok under clothes or do you have to wear frumpy older ppl clothes to cover the bulge from the skin?

My Mummy tummy is OK when I'm standing up but as soon as I bend over or sit down I get all the big fat rolls. Mine is more obvious cause I had C-Sec so around the scar area is all tight then the excess skin kinda sags over that. Covered in stretchmarks too but they are slowly disappearing thanks to Dr Lewinns Bio Care Oil (WAY better than the usual Bio Oil). I think it's just a given that your skin is guna get stretched to buggery but it's well worth it, I'm with Smelly_Kelly. Just shows what an amazing job your body has done. It does go away in time. My sister had 2 kids and got a really saggy tummy after having them. it's taken a few years but she is now a size 6 and has the most awesome abs. So there is hope for us yet! lol

When I sit I have rolls, I am back to pre preg but instead of a nice hard tummy like before it's all soft and squishy which is ok, I don't really mind, it's just different! Plus there are a few stretch marks and my belly button looks MASSIVE! DP calls it the Grand Canyon! lol

*raises hand*

I have lose skin on my tummy too .. and the part where I had my c section isnt as flat as id like it to be, but I will be up on stage in a teeny weeny bikini in 12 more sleeps ... so I guess I don't let it stop me.

Oh and Strivectin (sp) is what ive been using on my stretch marks and I think its doing a great job of fading them and tightening the skin around the area.
