What has happened to my Tummy
OMG What has happened to my Tummy???!
You love your new bundle of joy but may not love your new tummy so much
You love your new bundle of joy but may not love your new tummy so much
Your abdominal muscles lengthened and stretched too & you were not able to ‘work’ them via exercise as before.
The incisions made during your C -section procedure has created a temporary tissue and nerve disconnection between your brain and your tummy muscles which will take time to re-establish and repair
The mid-point of your abdominal muscles (The Linea Alba) has stretched to accommodate your growing baby.
Your abdominal area has developed cellulite & is generally wobbly and un-toned.

Is There Any Hope?
Yes, absolutely!
Skin can regain it’s good tone once stretched – it’s pretty elastic but sadly this ‘pinging-back’ mechanism lessens as you age.
Abdominal muscles once stretched, can be strengthened and shortened – ABSOLUTELY!
A ‘disconnected’ C- section tummy can become reconnected and string again… ABSOLUTELY!
The Linea Alba can regain it’s strength naturally, the closer to your birth the better your chances.
Cellulite has 4 main contributing factors: Your hormones (namely excess oestrogen), Storage of excess calories as fat, Storage of toxins in fat cells, Poor circulation
You can do a few things immediately to help the situation: Skin brushing, reducing fat intake and calories generally, exercising off your fat stores, cutting out toxins (ie tea coffee, alcohol, processed food).
