will my tummy ever look normal again?

I did post natal pilates after having my DS by c-section - it made a massive difference as it really targets your core stability muscles. Definitely worth the effort. I will never have a flat stomach (mind you I didn't have one before pg), but it was OK - especially with magic knickers!
 
I had my first two kids when I was pretty young, and I was already a bit chubby, but I worked out and managed to get a very flat tum, I still had a little tiny bit that was soft and the skin a bit more loose, but no one else would have noticed.
I was 29 when I had my third, and again my tummy didn't sag or wrinkle really badly, and I didn't get anymore stretch marks, I haven't got anymore this time either.

I think very few women go back to having the same flat tum they had before, but I would guess a great many of us don't feel that are tums are too bad, and you see plenty of women who shrink back very quickly and their tums don't show much wear and tear.
I guess everyone is different, either way, try not to worry about it, your tum will reflect your amazing hard work of carrying your child.
 
It totaly depends on the person and how good your tummy muscles where before hand and how much effort you put in after... your tummy goes back to looking 5months pregnant after baby and your uterus will shrink (breastfeeding quickens and helps this) my friend is built like me and after she had her little girl she breastfed and said she could feel her tummy muscles pulling back! she know has her figure right back youd never guess shed had a baby! :) so im hoping for this also! x
