Do you still have 'the hang'?

[Indadhanu]

Just starting a thread wondering if other c/s mummies still have the over hang?

21 months later and I do. I thought it would go away when I lost the baby weight but nope Back down to a healthy weight range, healthy size, back down to where I was but still got that ugly hang

Do you still have it? And if not, how did you get rid of it?

Nearly 5 years later i've still got it... don't know if it will ever go...

[RhiChiChi]

Yes I do, but my tummy always had a slight hang prior to falling pg. My DD is nearly 3 yo.

Leash, i've had it for 8 years. I've had 2 c/s which i don't regret one little bit, but i hate the "apron". I dont think it ever goes away unless you have it surgically removed. I lost about 15 kgs and the hang was still there, it isn't fat, it is excess skin.

Still have mine too. Even though I weigh about 5kg less than when I got pregnant, my stomach looks bigger than it did before because of that lovely over hang bit!
Have just started at the gym and trying hard to get it under control... I can feel it jiggle when I'm exercising!! lol Not a nice feeling

[~Kim~]

Yep me too.
Though saying that all the skin is very loose and I don't know that it actually has anything to do with the scars that are there or if it would still be there if not.

i didnt notice it much with my first child who was delivered by c-sect, but after the 2nd (9yrs ago) it was there and has been ever since. I found that if i lost weight, it shrunk, but it became more wrinkly because the skin was so stretched during pregnancy. After my 3rd (4yrs ago) it was worse but that may have been because i never really bothered with exersizes to get rid of it.

Is it really only c-sect's that cause the overhang? What changes occur with a normal delivery tummy?

[Tinks]

I didn't have a c/s and I have the overhang. I hate it.

[aussienic]

yep and I have it tripled (3 c/s) *sigh* I hate it and will eventually get a tummy tuck as I don't think any amount of exercise will get rid of it.. I had my first c/s in 03 and my last in 07..

I think if you google C/s overhang you will come across a site that has other womens pictures.. I actually felt better looking at them as I didn't feel so alone and ugly lol

[1MOREPLZ]

yep i still have it..... 11years since 1st cesarean, 9years since 2nd cesarean & 19mths since my last cesarean, it won't be going away unless i win lots of $$$$$ to have a tummy tuck

[msadelaide]

I never got it, hopefully I wont this time either. If i did get it I would be getting a tummy tuck asap.

My scar is right on my hairline and I have had 2 CS's and I do not have any 'hang', second time around I did have a bit of a bulge above my scar but this has since gone. I think it may have more to do with the cut and stitch rather than exercise to remove it ?
