Re: What did you think of your post pregnancy body

Except for the purple stretch marks near my belly button, I am really happy with my post pregnancy body. I weigh less than I did before pg, my clothes fit the same/or loose. I do have a lil bit of loose skin really low but it doesnt botter me at all or make a difference in my clothes.

Immediately pp I was horrified that I still looked pg and was so mushy. Now, 10 months later I'm back to normal +a couple of pounds and a little extra skin. Not bad I guess.

when you saw yourself naked for the first time after giving birth????

I was freaked out. My once Gigantic belly was deflated and flopped over. I remember after being home a few days, I was still having a lot of pain in my c-section incision. I called the OB and they told me to look at it and explain the appearance to them.

I looked down and said "I can't see it!"
The nurse said, "Just lift up the belly and look underneath" Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Seriously...I had to lift this big flap of skin up just to see my incision!!! All I could think of was those surgery shows where a patient loses hundreds of pounds after weight loss surgery and then has a lot of excess skin.

I was not prepared for that!



Since I just had my c-section 2 weeks ago... that's exactly how I look like. I lost 26 Lbs but the belly flop is still there. DH tells me it is "shrinking" a little bit though.

I look very similar to what I did prepregnancy. Luckily, I didn't get any stretchmarks. My boobs did go down a size but who cares my body yielded me a miracle. I can deal with the saggy boobs Chat Icon

I almost fainted when I saw all my stretch marks. It looks like I got into a fight with a bear and the bear won.

My breasts are really the only area that looks really different. I used to have great boobs, and now they have big blue veins all over them and some nice red stretch marks. DH still seems to like them but they gross me out.Chat Icon

It's still hard to look at...almost 2 years later! I've improved a lot and I'm now working with a trainer, but, I honestly don't think I'll ever be the same.Chat Icon

Re: What did you think of your post pregnancy body

In the words of Jenny McCarthy, I looked like a hairy piece of steak fat.

LOL!


My belly looked deflated and it jiggled a lot, my boobs were enormous and my thighs were riddled with cellulite. That was the oddest thing to me, b/c I really didn't have much before baby.

Now, 10 months pp i feel good. Not 100% but good. My belly is pretty flat, boobs went down, but my hips are wider and thighs still bigger.

I'm not worried though. I know i can get to where i want if i work hard enough, and i've got a great prize for the body transformation Chat Icon

Re: What did you think of your post pregnancy body

I cried in the shower at the hospital while trying to look at my incision (over my big belly). I thought that when the baby came out...my stomach would be somewhat normal again. 2 years later, I'm proud of it again...Chat Icon But now I'm thinking of having another baby so bye bye flat stomach...Chat Icon

I guess that was a benefit to be fat and flabby pre preggo, it wasn't that big of a shocker to me. I don't love it but it's not much worse than what I started with. I always say I'm going to be hot when I'm 40 Chat Icon

2 years later my stomach is still jiggly! I don't have any stretch marks though. My chest was always big so no difference there!

Re: What did you think of your post pregnancy body

My pp body is not too much different, yes I am a heavier but most of my clothing still fits. I think I was thinner when I was home on maternity leave, I think I have gained weight from sitting at work all day Chat Icon
I dont have stretch mark or any scars, I just wish my boobs would go back to what they looked like, they are def. bigger and lower. I need to hit the gym to loose some extra weight but Who the heck has time? Chat Icon

Re: What did you think of your post pregnancy body

After I gave birth, my stomach still looked like I pregnant for a while. It eventually went back to normal but the one thing that bothers me now about my body is my back. It got wider when I was pregnant and never went back. I cant wear my bras that I wore before I was pregnant because its not big enough around my back. I had a bathing suit on this past weekend and I really noticed how wide my back and ribcage got...I didnt like it at all Chat Icon

I thought I looked like a huge pile of doggie dung... but I also have to say 18 months later, I am proud of it once again. Chat Icon And the more I exercise the better its looking.. so hopefully next year when we start TTC again, I will be in such great shape that I will spring back even faster.. OR... I just may not get PG again... Chat Icon just kidding....Chat Icon

The darkness of my belly skin was the most shocking thing. It was like ten shades darker than the rest of me.

While my OB was stitching me up after my c-section he said "wow - look at that - you'll be back in a bikini in no time!" S.O.B. got my hopes up that I miraculously had a nice flat belly...
