Re: Is your body different after having kids??

oh yes, different is definitely an understatement.

i usually only wear leggings because its the only thing i don't get muffin top in. and i'm pretty close to pre-pregnancy weight but i wear pants 3 sizes bigger. Chat Icon

Re: Is your body different after having kids??

stretch marks from my rib cage all the way down to my, yeah, there.

big flap of dead skin that hangs there

my boobs are soooo big and deflated. I think when people see me nursing in public, they must think why is that woman breastfeeding from her belly button?? they hang low!

so, I am concentrating on arms and legs. no reason they can't be nice.
my hair use to have a nice curl to it...not so much anymore.

After DD1 I had lost about 20 pounds more than what I was pre-pregnancy. Got down to a size 2.
With DD2 I gained a crazy 56 pounds and now I am 2 months out from having her and have only lost the 21 pounds that came off right after having her...even though I have been 'dieting' since week 2 postpartum.
Somehow I lost those 21 pounds but my thighs got bigger after...my maternity pants are tighter around that area!!
I doubt my size 2's will EVER fit again

Oh and my boobs got SMALLER with each pregnancy!!
I wont be having a third DC because I dont want to wear a training bra again Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Defin different!!!

My butt is gone. I always had a nice tush, and now it it half the size. Chat Icon My boobs are saggy, like sand bags from BF Chat Icon Oh and my abs only look nice when my pants are hiding that little chubby pooch that is my lower abs. Hence I only look at my stomach w/ my yoga pants rolled over that part. I am hoping that will go away when I am done BF (wishful thinking?)Chat Icon Oh, and I weigh less then before but none of my clothes fit.

eta: I have one weird X shaped stretch mark on one side, and my hair loss its wave.

I guess I'm in the minority but my body is pretty much the same as before. I had no butt or hips before - and I still don't! Wish I did!



same here...the only difference I notice is that my belly button hole seems bigger (like u can see into it more).

well, i have the c section flap of dead skin that I am pretty positive will never tighten up Chat Icon Chat Icon



Same. Plus a whole lot of stretch marks and stretched out skin. I'm kind of scared of what it will look like after I have this baby!
