In reply to Anything Out There To Get Rid Of The Pregnant Look, posted by Zee on February 10, 2004, at 12:44:02
Are you on any medications that could be causing "the pregnant look"? Some psychotropic medications cause edema/water retention that can accumulate in the lower abdomen. Other medications can cause a lack of tone in the muscles there. Other than eliminating meds that might be contributing to it, I suggest crunches/sit-ups and other forms of exercise, like brisk walking and swimming. Also, try to be aware of your posture. Slouching seems to cause the tummy to protrude.
