C Section Tummy Muscles

Ladies, for those of you who had a Csection, is it true that your tummy will rarely go back to its original shape?? I always had a flat toned abdomen and am worried... Are my chances of getting my figure back better w a va___al delivery?

Some of it depends on the fact that you are toned already (good!), and importantly the SIZE of the baby you are carrying (the muscles can get stretched to their limit w/larger babies). After a cesarean it is much more difficult to do things that require your ab muscles for several weeks so exersises for that area are pretty much out of the question. There are many women who have a lip over their scars for the rest of their lives, probably more common than not. So IF you don't have a really big baby for you AND you are toned already AND you have a v____al delivery your chances are pretty good that you will get your flat tummy back quicker. I was an Elite level gymnast for the US and I still have a 6-pack many years later after my 4 c-sections, but I started out with abs of unusual strength and tone. Hope this helps?
