2yrs after my first baby mine were better but not as good as they were pre-preg. Cunches, sit-ups pretty much any abdominal exercise hun will be a great help! x

I started mine 9 wks after, I havent had my post natal check up yet but I thought it was 6wks after? thats when I started after my first section on the ok from my Doc?

I could be wrong so ask your doc first!

mine is really bad too.... but i was advised to lose weight and burn fat before I concentrated on my abs... I dont think it will ever be EXACTLY the same, for me at least, but Im pretty sure itll will get loads better than it is mine is BAD!!

The abdominal muscles aren't damaged by the operation unless you had a total quack do your C-Section. As long as you're willing to work hard there's no reason you can't get those muscles back in shape. The wobbliness is tissue flacidity, two separate things. Losing weight and doing situps/crunches can help the appearance of flacidity somewhat but don't expect miracles. I wear control underwear and it has really helped me, too.
