I had the same problem, all you gotta do is make sure to do plenty of crunches, sit ups and make sure to tuck and suck when you go for walks (suck in your stomach and squeeze your buttcheeks together) that always helped with me and it still does. Good Luck!
Reply:No, the loose skin never tightens back the way it was. I will tighten up a little bit on its own, but you won't have tight abs like you did before, no matter how many crunches you do.





You can try some firming creams like Nivea and see if that helps. The only thing that fixes it totally is a tummy tuck.
Reply:I once had toned abs too, and one baby later I have belly pouch. (yuck) I've heard you can try skin tightening cream that may work or your other option is a tummy tuck.





Good luck.
Reply:there is nothing that can make skin go away unless its surgery. Your only other option would be to build some pretty big ab muscles that would fill out the skin but even then it will be slightly wrinkly and pouchy. it is impossible to get it back to normal no matter how much you exercise unless you have really good and elastic skin genetically. Skin stretches to fast to adjust during pregnancy to bounce back and it deflates to quickly too.
Reply:I had my first baby 5 weeks ago and am left with a pouch of loose skin, too. I feel the skin will tighten a bit over time, but it is not likely to go back to how it used to be pre-pregnancy.





If you got stretchmarks, then the skin will always remain more loose, no matter what kind of creams you use or how much abdominal training you do, because the marks are essentially scars that formed when the skin began breaking down from excess stress. The marks will fade, but they will always be there and the skin cannot 'shrink back' once it's reached that point.





If you didn't get stretchmarks, then there is more of a chance that your skin will recover fully as it didn't, literally, reach 'the breaking point'.





Whether our dreaded skin-pouches go away or not, atleast we got something wonderful in exchange, eh? Congrats on your baby, btw.
