Two Q's in one - Post Partum Body and Spanx

I am 4 wks pp and have only lost a little over 10lbs. The worst part is my belly still looks about 4 mos pg. I am BF and eating very healthy but, not exercising per my dr. I was normal weight and in good shape when I got pg - gained 30lbs at my delivery date (but about 5lbs was in the last week 1/2 so probably mostly water) and exercised throughout my pg until the last 3 wks. IN fact, I think I looked better 9 mos pg than I do now.

My Q is - Is there something wrong with me? I keep speaking to friends who have lost soooooooooooo much weight at this point and say their stomachs are not looking pg anymore and I am starting to get worried - I guess I will ask my OB at my 6 wk visit.

Second q - is it ok to wear spanx? Is it ok to put that kind of pressure on my uterus and organs that are obviously still out of place? I have a wedding and a few parties in the next few weeks and I am dreading being asked "WHEN ARE YOU DUE??????"

TIA

um, I am 6 months pp and I still look pregnant

don't worry it will come off, but your body will probably not look the same, one of the joys of pregnancy

Definitely whip out the spanx. I wore them....they help suck everything in.

give yourself some time it took a good 2 months with both pg's for my belly to deflate.
Def though wear the spanx to the wedding to give yourself a good boost of confidence

Took me a good 6 months to feel like I looked like my old self (though not 100%) - but def. go for the spanx in the meantime@
