My Body, After Pregnancy
Posted: 05-09-06 16:28pm

My baby girl is now 6 mos. Old, and within a month after having her I was back down to my normal size.. But my skin is still a little loose, and i've done sit-ups and every other belly exercise that I know of. I also have some stretch marks, there fading.. But is there anything I can do or use to get the natural processes to work faster??

Not really. Get out in the sun - that'll make your stretch marks fade faster than anything, but the loose skin will just have to tighten up on its own. I had my baby girl 16 months ago and i've been at my prepreg weight for about 9 months. My skin is still a little loose too.

It takes 2 years for your body to completely heal(skin tightening takes the longest) accroding to the wife.

Omg you would think they never go away they actually dont they lighten up/fade abit but never really dissapear

best bet put on lotion or even better vitamin e works miracles, my friend mentioned natural herbs that help.....

I have two kids and I gained a $hitload of weight with both so I got my fair share of strecth marks!!
