fat?

I look fatter than I was before pregnancy, but I weigh a few pounds less than when I found out. My mom even called me fat and said I shouldn't eat so much. (All cause I wanted 2 sloppy joes instead of 1 and I hadn't eaten all day cause I hadn't got the chance to. It was like 6pm).

I had my son 3 weeks ago. Wouldn't it take longer then 3weeks to go back to normal cause of how big you get. I was told thag it will take sometime cause my stomach got all stretched out, so it needs time to go back to normal.

Quoting Tay L:" I look fatter than I was before pregnancy, but I weigh a few pounds less than when I found out. My mom ... [snip!] ... you get. I was told thag it will take sometime cause my stomach got all stretched out, so it needs time to go back to normal."

That and swelling. I never went completely back to normal. This is my 5th pregnancy, I weighed less after having my last baby then i've weighed my entire life but still wore a bigger pants size, mainly because of stretched out skin that will never go back to normal (for me) and wider hips.

My swelling was horrible! I'm pretty sure it hasn't gone away, cause I still sometimes have pain in my hands that was due to the swelling. I also can't get my ring back on, yet.

With my 1st it took about 6 weeks for everything to go down I had gained a lot of weight tho, if u already lost the extra weight, I would start walking, and toning up... when u feel up to it...

My body is *not* the same from before I had kids, but I look good and feel good,
Also if ur on birth control that might be essng with u, I was single after I had dean so I didn't take the birth control, after Jade I was married and it made me fatter than I was *after* having baby...

I was told to walk, that it will help with my hip pain and with my pelvis going back to the way it was. But I don't wanna go outside. Its freezing! So I don't do much walking, half the time I don't even wanna be awake or out of bed cause I'm tired from being up all night.

I'm not on birth control, yet. I really wanna call my OB and see if I can get it sooner than my 6week check up.
