How to tighten "pooch" after 3 kids?

Question

Hi ladies,
I am 5.5mo pp from baby #3.
I am just wondering how to tighten up the baby pooch or skin on that area? My thighs are also like this. I am fine with the stretch marks etc. But why do I have to be so flabby? 
I have been going to boxing class weekly for a month now. We do lots of core tightening etc. But I see no tightening of that area. Is it a lost cause and I just have to accept it?

Answer

If your muscles have seperated(rectus diastasis) you may have to work extra hard, wear waist trainer etc to get the pooch tighter.  After my second it started getting better but then i got pregnant with #3. Plastic surgery could be an easy fix from what ive read.

Answer

Following for future... I’m due with number 3 in June

Answer

Look into Every Mother workouts. Helped me so much with the pooch! The eating plan has the right mix of fats etc to helps with some skin but mostly helps get rid of the fat and tone this area. Really works!  Good Luck :-)

Answer

If u dont habe diastis recti then focusing on all parts of your abs ( I like HIIT ) works..if u have diastisis u ll need to modofy..lots of posts on pintrest.

Answer

You may have diastasis recti. I have it and it’s hell trying to get it back to shape. But now I have to wait because we’re having our second babe in about 4 months

Answer

Just curious how close were your kids? 
I am gonna have my third next month. I don’t really remember the status of my body before I was pregnant this time. I used those stomach corsets here and there

Answer

I have the same, I had my third in July, I’ve just accepted it.

Answer

I think it’s just takes time keep up what your doing adding vitamin E, it’s your skins elasticity and some bodies come back and other take a long time or don’t. I have friends who I surf with and one body can back other kinda same but better with time and work they about same sizes too. I wish u luck and I hope you still feel so beautiful as you are and you have carried your babies.

Answer

Check for diastasis recti... and go from there. Some exercises can actually cause harm or worsen DR  so it has to be specific to that issue.  Some people even do physical therapy for it. I bought MUTU System for mine (an exercise program based off of therapy) so I can do it at home around my schedule.
