If your stomach was flat prior to having a baby, what did it look like after? Did it look like a deflated balloon? How much weight did you gain during your pregnancy?
AFter my first it went back to looking the same without a week or so. But with subsequent pregnancies it didnt look so great until i started working my abs out then it would flatten and tighten up some. I gained 40 with my first 30 with the second 12 with the 3rd and 1 lb so far this pregnancy and im 30 weeks
Thank you.. that gives me hope. Im at about 31 pounds and 37 weeks. I bought the belly bandit so I'm hoping that and hard work will do the trick.. as long as I cab survive the last 3 weeks sans stretch marks!! @kailiasmomma05
with my first i gained 49 lbs and within 2 wks of giving birth i only had 5 lbs left to lose. my stomach very much looked like a deflated balloon with extra skin hanging and what looked like flab. but within about 3-5 months it was pretty much back to normal. then i had my second- nothing was the same after that lol
Im 5'6 and was about 135 pre pregnancy . I had a sporty build.. now I have a beach ball build lol. I think I gained in my thighs, so im hoping I can tone those back up pretty quickly! Im most concerned w how my belly will look.. it's scary some that I've seen! @blessed1508
with my first i only gained 9lbs and that was in the last 10wks....this pregnancy i've lost 10 lbs so far and still slimming down. my stomach looked the same as it did pre-pregnancy 2 to 3 week after I gave birth.
sounds like the same built just a inch taller than u. I weighed the same too. what sports did/do u play? I play soccer. but I am all belly and thighs. which my thighs I am ok with. I got lucky with my stomach and no stretch marks. whoop whoop lol
Prob just about the same, I had put on a few pounds from a surgery I had in November and I got pregnant in December..I'm typically around 128. I sport climb, run, and lift.. I was into pilates too.. all of the above I haven't done much of in 2011 but I will be getting back into it all pretty hard and fast as soon as im able this fall! 3 more weeks of baby baking, then it's recovery time, diet and exercise time! Can't wait @blessed 1508
stuff I dont like. my arms r weak, I am not flexible, and I hate running but I played soccer my whole life and I still can't stand running. lol good luck with getting back into it. I am going to hopefully find some time and get on another team. and 11 days for me!! he needs to hurry lol
@2BeForgotten yes only 1 lb. I was so sick up until 20 weeks thats i actually lost weight and havent been able to put it back on. Everything i eat gives me terrible acid reflux no matter if i eat a whole tub of tums and take zantac. Im actually still puking every now and again just not all day like i was.
With my first I was 130 pre-pregnancy weight, gained 50 lbs & after the baby I only got down to 150. Then after my son, who I had almost 3 weeks ago, I was 198 lbs at the end of my pregnancy(38 weeks), now I'm 169 lbs. By the way, I'm 5'2 1/2 so yea I'm a lil over weight for my height..I got hips and a butt now lol and a pudge but not a huge one.
Im 5wks pp with my 2nd baby. Baby bandit got the inches off QUICK. But you have to be committed. I stopped wearing it to bed. It was so uncomfortable. I'm skinny again but still flabby. Ugh. I need to start working out.
This is my third and I always leave the hospital like I was never prego I gain like 40 in each pregnacy my stomach went back to normal right away lol hb was like wth
I was 100 lbs pre pregnancy 118lbs at birth and 2 weeks pp I was 97 lbs lol. Breast feeding helped A LOT to get all the weight off. But of course your tummy will feel super weird the first few days after. Like jello. My tummy is flat again, but I need to do some crunches to make my skin completely tight again.
I hope my man looks at me like wth lol @2girls_1boy.
@jcmommy that was 5 weeks ago??? You've got to be kidding me. Hope everything is going well did you start the day you delivered or did you wait til you got home? I doubt twwo days makes a difference, just curious. and if you run across any of the belly bandit posts you should attest to it, cuz I don't think anyone knew how well it worked but ppl were asking. I got hip shrinkx too.. im determined to have my body back! Lol.
@lovingmykids was the weight just not coming off or you liked yourself a little heavier? Just curious... if you can't tell this is a very vain post lol
@bentleysmom I haven't been 97 pounds since 7th grade! I'd really love to be at 122 sometime early next year, but we shall see.. I plan on strictly bteastfeeding as long as possible and eating very clean And working out.
Im 6wks pp and my stomach is still flabby. Im 5'11 and was 160 pre preg, and 206 at birth, and im at 196 =/ i think ppd has something to do with my slow weight loss. Ive actually gained weight since i was 2wks pp.
Shit! Lol right after it looked like shit. I was ashamed but I worked out twice a day and by 6 wks post I lost all the weight but tummy was still soft. Couple months later it was flat with stretch marks.
My belly bandit was too small. So I couldn't wear it out of the hospital. I was so disappointed. I thought I just wasted $60. I also breastfed so it helped out a lot . After 4days, I had my husband help me. It was tight!! But that's how I wanted it. I couldn't even sit. I gained 38lbs. I'm now back in my pre pregnancy jeans. A lil snug and a muffin top, but 5wks pp, I'm not complaining. But, eventually my bamboo bandit started rolling up so I started wearing a corset with the boning also. Good luck.
@lilpeapod913 the extra weight is just not coming off I am going to start exercising after my 6 week check up though. I need to lose 40 lbs to get back to where I was before I had any kids. Gonna take some work.
I had my daughter 3 days ago when I left the hosppital my stomach was soo gross I looked 5 mo preggo lol I'm breastfeeding and my belly has gone down a lot! Still jiggly butil take it! I went down 10lbs so far.. hopefully I keep losing, even though the 10lbs was baby-7 and thr placenta I'm sure lol
