Re: Post Pregnancy-Did you wear a something on your belly....
I did once when i went out to dinner..this tummy sucker inner thing..lol.
But...3 wks PP is too early to worry about that!! It takes a while to feel better in the belly area. I felt disgusted looking in the mirror and how my belly was even at 6 wks pp. I truly started to drop weight and the belly went down prob around 3 months.
My son is 8 months old and I just started hitting the gym and doing WW very strictly. Its amazing how much better i feel just from going to the gym a few days a week.
You will get there and it'll be so much better, just give your body a chance to get back to normal..it WILL happen!

Re: Post Pregnancy-Did you wear a something on your belly....
When I came back to work, I started to wear a body shaper. the kind that's a bra and snaps at the crotch. I have to, if not I have flab over my pants no matter what size my pants are.
I really didn't wear anythign while I was on Mat. leave because I was too uncomfy.

Re: Post Pregnancy-Did you wear a something on your belly....
aww give it time. 3 weeks PP your uterus is still in the process of shrinking.
The weight will come off, dont' starve yourself though, your body will go into starvation mode and your metabolism will slow-hence causing you to keep weight on you.
Eat healthy, variety, try to stay away from processed food. Even if you take a 30 min walk everyday it helps!
I lost almost all my pg weight with #1 just by eating good and walking by 5month pp. I gained 50+lbs with her.
Hang in there, give yourself a break, you just had a baby

Get a girdle. My OB/GYN suggested I wear one too (as well as my mother) and I think it helped a lot!
I got one at Macy's.

Can you wear the bella band after you have the baby also? I would think that would be good for holding the skin nice and tight?

I hear that wearing a girdle helps. But you are breastfeeding arent you? So you should see your tummy start to shrink soon enough.

Re: Post Pregnancy-Did you wear a something on your belly....
That's so funny my friend and I were just talking about this yesterday and I was going to ask the same thing. At this point (4weeks after delivery) I feel like my skin will stay flabby & never go back!

Re: Post Pregnancy-Did you wear a something on your belly....
My sister swore by those underware that suck your stomach in. So that i what i wear...but it depends on the outfit i am wearing now. They look like granny panties  but they make me feel more comfortable with the extra skin.

Re: Post Pregnancy-Did you wear a something on your belly....
I didn't, but I remember wishing I had one! My tummy felt so weird because the muscles were so loose. It would have been more comfortable to have something holding it all in while it went back to normal. It didn't take very long though. If you're already 3 weeks PP, then you'll probably be better soon.
