Is it harder for your stomach to go back to being flat again if you have a C-Section? I previously had a tummy tuck 6 years ago when a Doctor told me I couldn't conceive children. I am now 8 months pregnant and my Doctor is saying the a C-Section may be best for me. My belly is not very big for 8 months and I am worried that I will have to have the procedure all over again if I have a C-Section. Does anyone know anything about child birth after a tummy tuck?

There is no medical reason why you would need a c-section because you had a tummy tuck. The skin is going to change regardless of how you give birth just from being pregnant, and the uterus is not effected by a tummy tuck, but it would be effected by a c-section.
You may or may not need a touch up afterwards... depends on how much weight you put on and how your skin and muscle respond to the pregnancy. Some women do and some women find it isn't necessary. Not putting on too much weight so far will be to your advantage.
