i'm sorry to hear you're going through this. sometimes pregnancy can stretch the abdominal muscles out so much that they can't "snap back. " they're kind of like elastic that way -- and i'm sure you've seen how floppy an elastic waistband gets after it's been over-stretched. i'd suggest you visit your doctor to find out if he or she thinks this is the problem in your case. if so he or she may be able to tell you whether or not abdominal muscle exercises will help. if all else fails you can have this corrected with a cosmetic surgery procedure called abdominoplasty or " tummy tuck. " in this surgery the abdominal muscles are literally sewed back together to give your belly a tight look again. however this surgery is not recommended for any woman who plans to have more children. save it for the time when you're confident your family is complete! probably not the news you wanted to hear but i wanted to be honest with you. wishing you all the best!
