re: What does your Postpartum body look like?

I'm on my phone but I started at 135 ended at 175!!! Now I'm 10 weeks and 4 days prego with my second and weigh 123. My tummy looks fine the only thing I hate are my booms but not so much now because their getting bigger.

You're doing fine. It will take a little longer for the tummy to snap back. Mine was back after 6 weeks or so. I started at 118 (well weigh in at 7 weeks pregnant) and deilvered at an unhealthy (IMO) 181. I lost 40 of it within 2 weeks of having him. I think most of it water weight. The last bit was off by 6 months PP.

Only one word can describe my body after I had DD.




Hell.

Quoting Baby Aubrey's Mom:" I doubt that as well! i gotta remind myself that even though my body looks horrible, i still got a beautiful baby girl from it"

My stomach still sags and DD is almost 2, it's gross and when I was pregnant, I got so big that the stretch marks on the bottom of my belly were literally splitting open and now they just look terrible.   But, yeah I see it the same way and I would do it all over again for her.

Stretch marks do suck! I had so many with my first but with my second I didn't get any and i'm surprised. but they are worth it and i would totally do it all over again too even though i found out this time around that natural birth isn't so much fun lol

Before

Quoting CRSx2Mommy:" Before 6 months PP - "

You look great!!! I'd give anything to look like that! i'm hoping after doing this p90x ill get to that but it's hard to eat completely healthy again.

Before:


During:


9 days PP:

I got lucky as hell. Went from 56kg at 6 weeks to about 71 kg at 40 weeks, not sure what that is in lbs. Tummy's gone down a little more now, and now that all the swelling has gone down I look pretty much the same as I did before but a bit more jiggly. And I was lucky enough to not get any stretch marks   Can't wait to weigh myself again, we have no scales at home so not sure what my weight is now lol.

Yes girl it took work to get those initial abs.. I worked out 3 hours a day and ate 1350 calories. But I was NEVER starving or lacking or anything. It was awesome. I got lucky PP I never worked out or did anything I just breastfed it was all muscle memory. I'm pregnant again and not NEARLY as lucky as far as the abs go.. I plan on getting my body back ASAP!

Yeah you are really lucky! i think having two kids took a big toll on my body. i gained so much with my first and i didnt care what i ate. this time i was more healthy but still i look terrible

Quoting Ole' No Name:" I started at 200lbs and I was 237lbs when I delivered. I am now 191 lbs at 10 months PP. My stomach is ugly though. "

stretch marks do suck but you got a beautiful baby out of it! thats how i think of it as. at least you got a flat tummy!
