    I too have the same problem - I've just lost 17kgs after two big babies (9pd 12oz and 10pd 9oz) one via c/s, I think c/section scar makes it look worse! A friend of mine told me that if you see your GP and you've had a c/section you can go on the waiting list for a tummy tuck through medicare as it's not classed as cosmetic surgery, it's classed as reconstructive - not sure if you have to of had more than one c/section though - she's had three and is currently on the waiting list. I've also heard you can claim it through medicare if you have PCOS - not sure if its true or not though...

    I would think a tummy tuck would not be recommended for someone who is planning more children. Think of your stomach as a badge of honor. There are lots of women on this forum who would love a post baby belly! It is certainly nothing to be ashamed of.

    One of the reasons behind my PND is i havent been able to come to terms with the physical changes since having a baby, by no means did i have a flat belly before hand but the flabby and sagging skin has really got me down. Especially when it comes to find clothes to wear i have resorted to buying shirts 2 sizes bigger than my size just so they are tight..

    And i wasnt setting out to offend or upset anybody.

    Have you ever looked at the website "a shape of a mother"? It might help reassure you that your post baby belly is really normal.
