hmmm
Sooner or later, I will post my resume here. LOL.
I can answer teh question for you Homegirl, as one of my certifications is in pre-natal and post-natal fitness.
If it was due to a C-section, then the answer is gernerally no. Muscle tissue WILL heal over time, but once those muscles are cut, they won't be the same again.
And, if the transverse abdominus is cut/stretched out during pregnancy, there is no real way to work that muscle. Double whammy.
HOWEVER, that isn't to say that you should stop training abs. Actually, it is more important now. The rest of the abdomonal group needs to be stronger to share the workload of the other muscles.
I will look more into this for you ... I have a trainer friend (female) that is in the exact same boat as you, and she is skinny as a rail but still has a small bit of distention in her lower ab region due to the stretched transverse abdminal muscles.
I'll see what exercises she does/did to minimize the issue.
