It's been 2 months since my daughter was born and my belly is still flabby. It kinda hangs a little. It's gross. Will it ever go away? What can I do to make it go away? I feel uncomfortable.

wrap your belly in an ace bandage. Hold your scar together and move the grasped tissue up and down. Massage the upper area of the scar down into the lower area, by pressing thumbs down toward fingers that support the lower part of scar.

I had a c-section 6 months ago and while the preg weight is going awy bit by bit, the flab stil hangs over the scar a bit...i know it really gross eh? But it's way better now then it was a few months ago...it just takes time i guess.

Yes it will definitely go away. You have to do a little work though.AFter my second baby no one could ever tell that I even had one. I just had my 3rd and Im working on getting it back down once again. It can happen though. I know exactly what you mean. Do lots of ab exercises for lower abs its worth the trouble. Good luck!

Exercise, Exercise, Exercise... But only AFTER you feel comfortable again. Really, your health and your baby are much more important than the flabby belly ;) ...
