re: I'm having a moment...

I'm 4 weeks PP. This is my 3rd pregnancy and my 1st c-section. I have sucha belly that it's quite revolting. I can't fit into any of my old pants and that is horribly depressing. I have to be in sweats or stretchy pants, so frumpy! I'm going to the gym 3 times a week and trying really hard to watch what I eat.
With this being my 3rd pregnancy, I doubt I'll ever really lose all this skin. Which is sad.

I had a c-section exactly 7 weeks ago and still have a little bit of the pouch at the bottom of my belly. I have lost 38 of the 43 pounds. I had a c-section so I knew that 9 chances out of 10 I would always have a little bit of somethin' that I can't get rid off. Truth is though, "real women have curves" and I certainly did not go into my pregnancy with a super flat stomach and I didn't come out of it that way. So don't feel bad honey. Pregnancy and birth are a scarifice and we have battle scars (like stretch marks and pouches)...the baby's are worth it!!!

I'll be 4 weeks pp on Sunday and I still have mine. I hate it!

im 5 wks pp. i still have a belly and i got lots o stretch marks. i bought a tanjini and ill just wait it out.

I have that pooch still and I am 8 months PP. It looks a lot better then it used to. I just call it my w flub...because its shaped like a w, lol.

This was 7 months pp but nothing really has changed...

See the w?

and this was a side shot from this month....you can still see I have a pooch..

Your tummy looks good for 5 weeks! And at least your tummy still looks firm so it should go back without loose skin...mine is all sag now! Oh well...

I think your tummy looks good  !

I'm only one week PP and I can tell you I know I'm still gonna have a gross skin flap for a while as well as some killer stretch marks. Its quite unfair that some girls go right back to normal and look beach ready right after baby but I'm trying to come to terms with the fact that I am not one of them.

I'm not one of them either...but it would be nice, wouldn't it  ?

I cant really complain about stretchmarks, since i only got a few light ones, but i still have 10 lbs to lose and it will not leave! i have been exercising like crazy and i swear i still look the same as i did at 2weeks pp. now i am almost 12 weeks pp and i still look the same and weigh the same. its so depressing. i HATE my muffin top and love handles

holy smurf sorry lol our bellys are the same just about! i had twins 5wks ago

Quoting Mama Rogers:" I still have the pouch and I am 3 months pp, and I breastfeed too! It is slowly getting smaller though ... [snip!] ... the exception, lol. Here's my pouch...I think I was 6 weeks pp then. Still looks pretty much the same now, just smaller. "

I'm only 19 and trust me....my body didn't bounce back. My hips will NEVER fit in a size 5 again because they spread so much. My muffin top is now littered with angry looking stretch marks. My stomach is flabby, covered in stretch marks that discolor my skin so bad it's sickening to see the pink lines against what now looks like yellow skin. My once 6 pack is non existent and flabby and all the extra skin...ug! I can grab a handful of extra skin and still not have it all. (in one spot, not the whole stomach) I can't even fit into a size 8. It's tight around the hips, thighs, and ass and doesn't even button or zip.

This is my pp body at almost 4 weeks.
