Post pregnancy body
May seem like a silly question BUT... does your body ever go back to the way it looked before? I'm not talking fat or stretch marks I mean like my ribs and waist. I tried on my wedding gown and the top could hardly zipper, and my boobs have shrunk. It just seems like with the amount of weight I still have to loose I should look thinner than I do
Not sure if this made sense or not

Re: Post pregnancy body
No, I understand. I actually weigh just about the same as I did before having the baby and I look about 25lbs. heavier than I did before the baby. It's so upsetting. I've never had a thick waistline, infact, my waist was tiny compared to everything else. now, I hold all my weight there. Well, also in my butt. And my thighs. And my big toe.

Re: Post pregnancy body
Yes it does, and it takes about a year.
I think the weight just shifts to different parts of your body.
In other words, you can lose all of your pregnancy weight,but you dont always look exactly like you did pre-pregnancy.
In my case my hips widened a bit, but my waste is pretty much back to the way it was,so i look a little curvier than before - but Im not complaining-it could be worse!

Re: Post pregnancy body
I lost all my pregnancy weight right away but still have this mushy gut that with the c-section doesnt seem to be getting smaller just drooping. I hope this will get tighter.

Re: Post pregnancy body
I takes time but it starts to get there. I know I lost pounds wise quickly but inches wise took much longer. I remember at 9 months feeling better, by a year - I was close and by 18 months I was really, really close. I still never felt 100% in my bikini this summer because I still felt like I had some stretched belly skin but other than that I would say eveything else started to go back into place. I am slightly broader on top and little less of a waist but my hips, butt (didn't want to lose that though) and thighs are thinner than before.
