How can I help get rid of my PP belly 'hangover' & improve my stretchmarks [PICS incl.]?

I used belly band til the day I was 3 days PP, I am not joking that thing is a GOD send! You can buy the real ones for sixty bucks online or maternity stores, or Target sells a knock off of them that are pretty similar for like 20 bucks. Check it out. They basically suck your tummy back in. I wore mine for 4-5 weeks and my belly was flat again. I won't say it was muscles and all, but you couldn't tell I had a baby. Also, pulling the muscles back in will help REDUCE ( not make go away) your stretch marks. Use tummy er or vitamin E on them daily and that should help some. Time heals all wounds and they will eventually fade with time if you lose the baby weight and get more into shape. Congrats on your beautiful baby, and don't let this bring you down. You carried a baby for nine months than went through labor! Strong lady if you ask me :)
