Hi good morning. I understand how you feel. As you said, you are mother of 2 children and the youngest one being just 4 months old and also you having thyroid issues, your body is still recuperating itself from the pregnancy and labor. Do not become very worried about it. Take it in your stride. The best way to handle this is, incorporating some changes in your lifestyle. Make physical activity and exercise a daily routine. Pull your tummy (belly button) in, and hold it like that most of the time. I know it might not be very comfortable thing to do, but you will make it a habit if you keep trying it. It also helps strengthen your core muscles around your tummy. Also, perform some of ab strengthening exercises such as planks. Incorporate healthy eating habits.
