By day 7 PP I didn't look pregnant anymore, but it had (has) more "jelly" than before that I'm working on! I did gain 20 more pounds with my first pregnancy than my second (I went into my second with an extra 10 that wasn't there before my first but that is gone now) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-look-more-or-less-pregnant-after-your-second-delivery#post-2240382 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 05:20:52 +0000 winniebee 2240382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Belly took longer to look not pregnant after 2nd. Even though at 7m I lost all the weight my tummy is still not the same....and looked the same much more quickly after #1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-look-more-or-less-pregnant-after-your-second-delivery#post-2240259 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 18:07:57 +0000 erinpye 2240259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I looked the same after each delivery, and didn't look pregnant anymore either time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-look-more-or-less-pregnant-after-your-second-delivery#post-2240256 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 17:56:29 +0000 blackbird 2240256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: it makes sense to me! Especially if you aren't looking for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-look-more-or-less-pregnant-after-your-second-delivery#post-2240253 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 17:49:02 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2240253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: :happy: DH confessed that he thought I had a secret donut problem because my belly wasn't getting smaller. Nice honey. It's so ridiculous the symptoms I completely missed because I blamed it on being pp and nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-look-more-or-less-pregnant-after-your-second-delivery#post-2240246 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 17:34:59 +0000 mrsjyw 2240246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Less! </p> <p>I started off at a lower weight, gained less, and delivered two weeks early unmedicated which led to less swelling this time. </p> <p>I'm only 4 days post partum and am at my 10wk po with #1 wt and my belly is much smaller, though still flabby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-look-more-or-less-pregnant-after-your-second-delivery#post-2240239 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 17:03:22 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2240239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: @Anagram: @matador84: @Torchwood: @JCCovi: @Rainbow Sprinkles: @blackbird: Thanks for all the responses! Guess I will just have to wait and see!</p> <p>@oliviaoblivia: this is what I'm wondering about! I won't mind if the weight comes off a little slower (last time lost really quick due to not eating because of ppd/a but it didn't stay off.) I am just wondering if there's something that makes the uterus/belly sometimes not wanna go back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-look-more-or-less-pregnant-after-your-second-delivery#post-2240226 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 16:18:35 +0000 blackbird 2240226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: lol, joke's on you ;) (in a good way) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-look-more-or-less-pregnant-after-your-second-delivery#post-2240222 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 16:14:45 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2240222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost the weight at the same time, but my belly was still big for a while. And then there were the few months where I didn't know I was pregnant again and getting very frustrated by my thick waist. I was constantly complaining to DH that I still looked pregnant. Haha. :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-look-more-or-less-pregnant-after-your-second-delivery#post-2240220 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 16:11:11 +0000 blackbird 2240220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bigger! Gained less, and no new stretch marks, but am definitely chunkier this time around at 10 weeks PP. breastfeeding is not my saving grace apparently </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-look-more-or-less-pregnant-after-your-second-delivery#post-2240204 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 15:33:19 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2240204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Less! I snapped back fastet and dropped the weight much quicker thr second time around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-look-more-or-less-pregnant-after-your-second-delivery#post-2240197 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 14:57:03 +0000 JCCovi 2240197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still look pregnant and DS is almost 6 mo, it went down pretty much immediately with DD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-look-more-or-less-pregnant-after-your-second-delivery#post-2240194 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 14:50:09 +0000 Torchwood 2240194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exactly the same for me, but I carried exactly the same both times too. And both ended around 32-33 weeks, so I don't know if I would have looked more pregnant postpartum had I carried to term. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-look-more-or-less-pregnant-after-your-second-delivery#post-2240188 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 14:25:40 +0000 matador84 2240188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely less. Mainly because I wore a bellefit though with the second child and I didn't with the first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-look-more-or-less-pregnant-after-your-second-delivery#post-2240186 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 14:14:44 +0000 Anagram 2240186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can let you know in the next 3 weeks! This pregnancy. my belly has been so much bigger, so much faster--and I didn't carry small the first time.</p> <p>I had "pudge", but no extra skin the first time---just my terrible bright red stretch marks! My belly is on the Real Bellies Gold thread, haha. This time, I have no idea....my previous stretch marks grew wider and longer (ouch), so I have a feeling it's going to be bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-look-more-or-less-pregnant-after-your-second-delivery#post-2240158 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 12:47:59 +0000 Corduroy 2240158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was pretty much the same but with more stretch marks. At 5 weeks post partum I think things are going to be similar for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-look-more-or-less-pregnant-after-your-second-delivery#post-2240143 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 12:07:40 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2240143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The same? Just curious. My belly is much bigger (but the rest of me smaller) than with my first pregnancy, but I left the hospital pretty "flat" (meaning lots of skin and some belly -eta I'm definitely not calling it pretty!- but not really looking pregnant) with lo1. </p> <p>It doesn't really matter (no beauty contest for me!) just curious what to expect. I've been in shock this whole pregnancy so far with how differently my body has reacted. </p>
