I think instead of focusing on the belly you should aim for improved health and fitness and the tummy will melt away on its own.
Going for a brisk walk/pram push is a great way to shed kilos and as you get fitter you can increase the pace and mix in a bit of jogging too.
Weights are great because the more muscle you have the more calories you burn at rest.

If it's possible to join a gym try some of the classes there's sure to be one you like and I find that having an instructor shouting at me helps me push that little bit harder.

Bodypump is doing wonders for my abs! :D And i love to run with the buggy too - hard work but SO worth it :)

Body bump??? whats that? Well iv starting to eat more sensibly which is most important and today i have just signed bk up with the gym and starting next week with a friend which is nice gets me out as my partner goes once a week with my brother so be nice for me to go every week with my friend and walking and slowly runnin or joggin will def be somethin i will start but for now eatin the right things and goin to the gym and doin a lap around the track at the gym will be somethin i will start next week!! Thanks for all you help and advice! :D

I have just had cs no2 and cant wait to start exercising. You sound like you had lots of probs healing? After DD1 i started doing water aerobics from about 6wks i'd just go lightly on the tummy stuff but by 3 months i was doing body jam classes (a dance x aerobic workout) I was 23 when i had dd1 and my tummy never went back 100% i was size 8-10 b4 been pg and got back to a 10-12. This time my cs recovery has been even better than my last. DD2 is 9 days old and i feel fab and already back to my size 10-12. I'd say just eat sensibly, drink lots of water and exercise by all means but start light and then increase it.

Thanks for all ur advice means alot! Yh i had so many troubles with my section after id had her seems all ok now but yeah def start eatin right and start exercise slowly and increase it thats def a good idea else i may go to mad and make it worse again! Startin gym next week and maybe go swimming aswell and with the eating the right things that should help me get bk to my size 10-12 i use to be aswell...i will keep u posted with how it all goes! Fingers crossed i get bk to how i use to be and be happy with how i look! Thanks again xx

Bodypump is a les mills gym class. It's basically lifting weights to music. It tones you up, increases your strength and increases your muscle mass which speeds up your resting metabolic rate and helps you lose fat. I really enjoy it! :)
