[Original Post]

I gave birth to my twin boys almost exactly two months ago and I've been excercising regularly for the past month doing lots of cardio and crunches, but the skin on my stomach stretched REALLY badly while I was pregnant and it just won't seem to go back at all now! I know it's not fat because I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight and I can feel and even sort of see my stomach muscles, but that skin is just hanging off me. Does anyone know if that will tighten up and if there's anything I can do to make it tighten up faster? I'm so tired of having my stomach hanging over my waistband!

You can give it a little while longer in case some of the natural elasticity in your skin returns, but for many women in your position, surgery is the only option :-(

I had the same problem after my 1st 2 girls. I am now 21 weeks preggo with my 3rd girl and the skin is still hanging there. I hate it.
