I think DD permanently stretched it out with all her intense kicking right in that area :silly: Also my belly button looks so much bigger, and my linea negra never really faded. </p> <p>I'm 15 months PP and at my pre-pregnancy weight. I could probably stand to do some crunches or something, but honestly, I think this is my new belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-we-please-talk-about-postpartum-stomachs#post-2773820 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 11:07:00 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 2773820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my left side droops lower than my right. And that's where baby was. I'm 17 months PP so I'm kind of used to it now, and it has definitely gotten better, but I'm not sure if it'll ever go away at this point? I also had a C-section, so, I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it.</p> <p>I'm sure some ab work would probably help too, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-we-please-talk-about-postpartum-stomachs#post-2773812 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 09:53:07 +0000 ValentineMommy 2773812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had three csections - and after this last one, I'm definitely lopsided. I don't really think I can get rid of it without surgery, unfortunately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-we-please-talk-about-postpartum-stomachs#post-2773680 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 12:51:13 +0000 littlejoy 2773680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After LO2 (she's 7 weeks old), I definitely have a pooch - I look 15 weeks pregnant. It's so odd, and I didn't expect it. I don't feel confident in clothing yet, and I'm really excited to start working out again. </p> <p>I don't have issues with my weight, but I want my clothes to fit better, and feel more confident in my own skin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-we-please-talk-about-postpartum-stomachs#post-2773523 Fri, 15 Sep 2017 13:11:05 +0000 Alba4 2773523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm back to my normal weight, but after 2 kids my belly button just looks a little stretched. I feel great in clothing, but I can't really complain since I don't really make he time to exercise these days. I've sort of accepted that I grew 2 babies (my second was just shy of 10lbs), so there naturally is some stretchier skin. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-we-please-talk-about-postpartum-stomachs#post-2773522 Fri, 15 Sep 2017 13:03:24 +0000 skinnycow 2773522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, my stomach will never be the same. It's flat and I'm the same weight I was pre-pregnancy but there's so much skin! Also, my belly button is flatter - like not as round? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-we-please-talk-about-postpartum-stomachs#post-2773516 Fri, 15 Sep 2017 12:52:52 +0000 JennyPenny 2773516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Paddington10: My right side is poofier too! I was hoping it'd go away with exercise and weight loss. Im 5 mo pp but have only been exercising for 2 weeks, so we'll see.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-we-please-talk-about-postpartum-stomachs#post-2773512 Fri, 15 Sep 2017 12:26:08 +0000 avivoca 2773512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two pregnancies and diastasis recti have done a number on my stomach. It's definitely a hot mess up in here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-we-please-talk-about-postpartum-stomachs#post-2773507 Fri, 15 Sep 2017 12:21:02 +0000 kiddosc 2773507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My belly button is definitely off-center to the right. I have scoliosis with an S curve in my spine though and I figured it's probably progressed some with my pregnancies. Still, there's this shelf of skin that I'm positive will never go away. The stretch marks don't really bother me, but that damn flesh fold-over! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-we-please-talk-about-postpartum-stomachs#post-2773499 Fri, 15 Sep 2017 11:45:16 +0000 smocks 2773499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any lopsided distribution, but it's definitely HARD to make any real effort to get it to look different. I have strong abs that I've done a lot of work on, but I am never going to get rid of the pooch or loose skin at the bottom. Pretty sure it would be impossible without surgery. So, pizza and high waisted leggings it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-we-please-talk-about-postpartum-stomachs#post-2773497 Fri, 15 Sep 2017 11:16:53 +0000 Paddington10 2773497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone else have "uneven" fat distribution post-pregnancy? The right side sticks out more and is saggier/poufier than my left side. My belly button is also kind of lopsided to the right. Anybody else? </p>
