How long does it take

For the pooch to go away? I was very active before my pregnancy and I had a c-section on the 8th and, while I'm down to within 10lbs of my pre-preg weight, the streched-out, saggy, belly pooch is so annoying.  Any STMs have any insight on [about] how long it usually takes for skin to tighten back and ab muscles to come back?

    I'm sure it's diff for everyone.  I still had mine when I got pg again which was a year after I delivered the 1st time.

    depends on how bad it is. if it has lots of strech marks and ur muscles completly tore they may never go back the same. mine never did after 3 yrs.:(

    Mine doesn't go away. The more weight I lose the more it sags. It's just my skin is stretched out. I plan on a tummy tuck after our last little one is born. Some women do bounce back, though. Just remember it took you 9 months to grow the baby so plan on 9 months to bounce back.
