Postpartum abs?

Question

I'm four months postpartum and finding it difficult to strengthen my core. Is this normal for this many months postpartum? Anyone not flabby from pregnancy by this time & would like to share how they for their tummy back? I'm in a wedding in three months and don't want to be the biggest bridesmaid. Any exercise dieting tips would be appreciated!

Answer

I used to be an ab queen. I could bust out with more sit-ups and planks like no other. It's been 5 months since my kid came and I feel good if I can do 20 sit-ups in a row- or plank for a minute. I think slow and steady is the key. Build back up to where you were. Also make sure you don't have diastis. (??) I can't remember the spelling but it's when your stomach muscles separate- it takes time for them to return. If you have that, crunches and sit-ups only make it worse.
