Question for mommies that lost all of the baby weight

Does your body look the same? How about your stomach?

Re: Question for mommies that lost all of the baby weight

After DD#1 I wen't back to "myself" including the belly except for a few stretch marks !

Re: Question for mommies that lost all of the baby weight

I just recently lost the rest of my baby weight (DS is 3 now )

I absolutely DO NOT look the same.. I have a ton of stretch marks on my stomach.. they are now clearish, but still there and indented.. and a weird super sucked in bellybutton that almost looks like a butt..

GREAT

Re: Question for mommies that lost all of the baby weight

I just had my 6 week appointment today and am only 3 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight. My body definitely does NOT feel/look the same. I think it may be half psychological though. Plus I'm still dressing in frumpy clothing. I need to go shopping. I didn't realize how well fitted all my clothes were before. My old clothes don't seem to look right on me even when I can squeeze into them.

Re: Question for mommies that lost all of the baby weight

I have about 10 more pounds to go. The interesting thing is that after delivering my DD 5 weeks ago.....I can't eat like I used to pre-preggers. I think my body is taking some time going back to functioning like it used to. I def. have to start exercising to tone my body....it is no where close to looking the way it did before getting pregnant

Re: Question for mommies that lost all of the baby weight

My weight is all displaced differently- but I never thought I would fit into my jeans again, so I'm happy

ETA - My tummy has a little pooch, but I kind of think its sexy

Re: Question for mommies that lost all of the baby weight

I lost all of it very fast, like 2-3 months. BUT no my body is NOT the same.
I look exactly the the same-skinny and toned- as before pregnancy, but here is the weird part :
My hip/thigh area looks the same as before pregnancy BUT
there are some pre prego jeans that won't even come up past my thighs/hips and some are too tight around my thigh/hip area, some fit exactly the same (or almost same) .
I am s till the same size on top and everything still fits me just fine.
My stomach is still very flat and toned and my waist is still very small.
I also have to admit, I do not work out at all(other than being active with DD), maybe if I did....
I used to be 0-1 -jeans /pants and XS-S -tops and dresses. now I can't figure out my size any more when it comes to pants and especially jeans. I can wear 0,1,2,3,4


:(

I hear many women have the similar issue as me.

Re: Question for mommies that lost all of the baby weight

I'm only a few pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight and my body looks NOTHING like it did before! It has completely changed!!

Re: Question for mommies that lost all of the baby weight

for the most part...my stomach is flat but could use some sit ups...maybe one day

Re: Question for mommies that lost all of the baby weight

I weigh less now than before I was pg, but my stomach looks ugly. It's flat but has stretch marks and could use some tightening.

Re: Question for mommies that lost all of the baby weight

After DS my stomach was almost back to normal, I wanna say 2mos PP maybe. If I would have done a lot of situps I could have easily gotten it back to the way it was before/flat. I got preggo again 8mos PP, and after DD now my stomach is protruding a bit more than it did after having DS...I'm 12 weeks PP. If I do a lot of situps I think I can totally get it back but I've been too lazy...and aside from my boobs (breastfed both and my boobs suffered a lot) the rest of my body is the same, not 1 stretch mark from pregnancy (although I do have them in various places)thank God!

Re: Question for mommies that lost all of the baby weight

Still have 5 lbs to go, but my body is not going to ever be the same. My BONES have changed = I have hips now
I actually have a pic in my pregnancy album - compare 3rd pic (before) with last pic (8 months pp, 10 lbs to go).

Re: Question for mommies that lost all of the baby weight

I am three pounds less than before I got pregnant. DS is now 15 months. I lost all of the weight by the 4th month PP.

I had a c-section and my stomach is a little loose under the belly button. I never had a flat, taut stomach anyway. it was always my trouble spot. there are some pants I don't fit into, but mostly I went back to what I was before.

Re: Question for mommies that lost all of the baby weight

I am 5 lbs thinner than my PP weight....and NOPE doesnt look the same. LOL..not bad...but not the same.

Re: Question for mommies that lost all of the baby weight

sigh...i have 5 lb to go to be pre preggo, but my stomach does not look good, i feel like i have the extra skin, and my belly button is surrounded by strech marks...even when i was the same weight as this pre preggo i still looked descent. I wonder if i would have to get rid of "the pouch" surgically, and on top of it bathing suit season is coming up and i really would like to get into my old bikinis, i tried them on last night and it does not feel right...plus wearing a tankini is just not me, although i went out and bought some for our trip to aruba 4 months ago....oh well, i do have a beautiful prize though so it was worth it even if my bod does not look the same.

Re: Question for mommies that lost all of the baby weight

Well, I didn't lose it all yet, but pretty darn close--I'm 2 lbs. heavier than prebaby.

But I am still a size bigger in pants, and my butt and thighs are changed forever. My stomach is sorta mushy still, though not too bad, but the butt...my God.

Though I do remind myself many appreciate a healthy butt.

Re: Question for mommies that lost all of the baby weight

I gained 13lbs and by 3 weeks PP I was down 27! I'm now down 32lbs. I was always on the heavy side, and I've been at this weight before, but my body is different. Actually, I like my shape better now then I did the first time I was at this weight. I look slimmer then I used to, even at the same weight. I also always had a belly, and while I still do, it's actually less than pre-pregnancy.

I keep saying, being pregnant was the best diet I've been on!

Re: Question for mommies that lost all of the baby weight

I gained 90 pounds and lost it all. SInce I had a unique PG, my body hasn't recovered at all. I have so much sagging skin. But if I pull all the skin up, I am two sizes smaller in my pants. For now, I am a full two sizes bigger than I was before PG.

Re: Question for mommies that lost all of the baby weight

I weigh the same I did before I got pregnant...yet my belly is bigger. Not sure what happened.

Re: Question for mommies that lost all of the baby weight

I had a TON of stretch marks from baby number 2. They faded, my belly button isn't the same but i went back to the way i was pre pg, my hip bones are bit wider but i can get back into everything i wore pre pg with both.

Re: Question for mommies that lost all of the baby weight

I am currently 20 lbs. below pre-preggo weight, but I feel that my body changed. My old clothes do not fit the same...I look frumpy & baggy in places I never did before

My stomach got tighter and flatter tho

Re: Question for mommies that lost all of the baby weight

I'm wearing a smaller size than pp, but my belly is a little looser - not sure how to describe it exactly. Its not a pouch but the skin isn't as elastic (I guess from all that stretching but I was blessed to not get any stretch marks).

Re: Question for mommies that lost all of the baby weight

I lost it all and went to the gym hardcore for a while, now that I've been majorly slacking I have a little "extra" around tha middle that needs attention.....

It's definitely harder to keepthe physique.....but I think that also comes with......uh.....age.......

Re: Question for mommies that lost all of the baby weight

I am thinner now than I have been in YEARS. At 14 weeks PP I am happy with how I look. My stomach has stretch marks, but they dont bother me too much.
