Post Partum belly -extra skin/pouch

ckred27 · May 2014

Hey All,

Any advise to get rid of the skin fold on the mama pouch? I had it with my singletons and diet/exercise got rid of it but this time I don't know if that's gonna cut it. I have a lot of extra skin that seems to be hanging down and the maze of stretch marks on top of it make it look very cottage cheesy. I have hit my pre pregnancy weight (had babies 2 months ago) but the belly its still horrible and I have no waist, I miss having a waist! Am I doomed to need a tummy tuck or to have the skin removed or is there hope that with more time and diet/exercise it will widdle away?

Thanks!

That is all going to depend a lot on your own body... I don't think anyone here could say for sure one way or the other

For some women it never goes away, for others it tightens back up over that first year. I'd say "too soon to tell", and just recommend sticking to your good nutrition and regular exercise for now, and look into other options if it's still bothering you when your little ones turn a year.

Will insurance pay for the tummy tuck since it is related to the birth if multiples?

Insurance won't pay unless it's medically necessary. Just having multiples doesn't count as necessity - there has to be some medical reason.
