I did the no drinking thing, the no carb thing. I always wore dresses in a tent shape, or moo moo dresses as my husband liked to say – never any styles that were fitted at my waist. I liked scarves too, as they could just hang and cover the front of my tummy. I tied jumpers around leggings to hide everything and wore long coats and tops whenever possible. Always wear high-waisted pants, mum jeans and shirts, nothing tight against the skin. So I just continued to do what I had done for much of my adult life and that was to hide my stomach with clothing. Cut out the wine.īut try telling that to every mum of young children out there, THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH WE CAN DO. So even though the scales were kind, I was totally out of proportion with what looked like a bag of oranges tied around my mid-section. My waist went wider and thicker and the skin got saggier and heavier. Within a year of my second child I got back to my pre-baby weight at the age of 35 which was a small 12. My first child was a c-section, followed 21 months later by another child and another c-section. I put it down to my genes and my body shape because I trained my butt off, and while I wore the bias silk cut dress of my dreams, you can still see my tummy in the wedding photos.īut then came kids. Even on my wedding day when I was at my lowest weight, I still had a protruding tummy. But no matter my size, I’ve never had a flat stomach. I would say that I have always been a relatively ‘normal’ weight. I didn’t make the decision to have a tummy tuck lightly at all. I’m currently resting in bed post a “ tummy tuck” and thought I would share my experience on having a full abdominoplasty, post three children (all c-sections) and at the age of 38.
