I've always had an hourglass shape but after having DS, 2, I've had more of a pear shape. It seems like I carry more weight on my hips. My pre-pregnancy jeans are too tight through the waist, but if I size up, the legs are so baggy!
Did your body shape change?

Oh yeah! I was down to pre-baby weight but my jeans wouldn't go over my thighs and hips

My legs got smaller actually. I lost weight everywhere but have always carried any extra weight in my middle, which hasn't changed. It might just be more pronounced? My hips are probably a little more pronounced but that's not a bad thing since I was more of an apple anyway.

My shape hasn't changed but it def took a while for my pre-preg jeans to fit!

Yep- I'm curvier: boobs are much bigger, hips just a bit wider, a tiny bit more of a booty (from flat as a pancake before), but still wearing the same size as I did before my first baby.

Not really. My tummy has a fine layer of squish that wasn't there before, but all I my prepreg clothes fit the same.

My tummy is a bit more jiggly than before but I don't think my shape has actually changed.

my body changed heaps - my hips widened quite a bit, my rib cage feels wider, my feet widened. my boobs have saggy skin, my belly is bigger and squishier and the flub has distributed itself differently as my abdominals seperated. I can't even begin to imagine what will happen during and after this pregnancy.

I fit into my old clothes but my body still feels untoned/squishy/fat. I am wondering if my clothes have stretched.

Yes, but I think in a better way. Before LO I was more straight up and down if you saw me from the front, very narrow hips. Now I am more hourglass and I prefer it, my hips definitely widened!

Not really. I had to buy new styles of bras because the tops lost a lot of tissue but otherwise, I feel like things went back to place for the most part. It's so hard to tell because I don't know what to attribute to post pregnancy stuff and what to assume is just me working out again and getting an athletic shape back-it's probably the latter. But aside from throwing some tighter and shorter, less baby and toddler friendly shirts out, I went back to the same clothes. I do have some saggy low stomach skin that will never have full elasticity back, though.

Yes but I can't really tell exactly what yet. Prepreg jeans fit but tops look funny.. I don't know if it's the bigger boobs, or my ribcage expanded or what!

@NovBaby1112: same. I'm at my pre-pregnancy weight now, but things are different - my hips are wider being the big one. I had a very straight shape before and now it's more of a "shapely" shape.

Wider hips, bigger/saggier boobs, and softer in general. Even though weight came off.

My feet got bigger and I'm softer everywhere (even spots that were really toned before like my legs). I do think my rib cage got wider too.

Yes, I'm down to 5 lbs off my pp weight I have jeans that fit, shorts that sag....but shirts most are too tight, I thin my Boobs are to big still or my waist expanded.....IDK?
