I don't think that'll happen to me though since I think they started around week 37. The worst of it has been in the last 2 weeks though and I want to crawl into a hole when I see a mirror. And my belly's not even that big according to everyone!</p> <p>My puberty marks grew smaller over the years...I'm hoping these'll at least shrink a little too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-body-change-pp#post-735474 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 19:35:31 +0000 sarac 735474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 month PP I put on about 10 pounds, when I had been at my prepreg weight since delivering. Extended breastfeeding (19 months old) has done a bunch of weird things to me too - weight fluctuations, dry skin, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-body-change-pp#post-735458 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 19:29:00 +0000 Running Elley 735458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just extra chub! No widening or anything. I'm a little worried about what going through pregnancy again so soon after will do but....oh well. We'll see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-body-change-pp#post-735455 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 19:28:19 +0000 hilsy85 735455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: same! I told dh that upfront :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-body-change-pp#post-735454 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 19:27:45 +0000 hilsy85 735454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Softer tummy and bigger boobs, but I'm hopeful that those thins will change when I stop nursing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-body-change-pp#post-735410 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 19:04:06 +0000 tororojo 735410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have giant stretch marks and extra skin on the tummy...jeans fit but with muffin top, blah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-body-change-pp#post-735036 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 16:06:39 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 735036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@vnvdvci: when did they show up? I was 3 days overdue and got stretch marks around 38w. But my OB said because they were so new that they would go away and it was because I was small, baby was big and I was in the homestretch. I didn't believe her, but MUCH BioOil &amp; 6months later, they really are gone.<br /> Ido have some "cat whiskers" on my thighs but that is from puberty :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-body-change-pp#post-735014 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:58:11 +0000 MsLipGloss 735014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@vnvdvci: I have a few tiny ones on my hips and inner thighs from puberty, and my mom got them when she was pg, which is why I totally expected to get them. I still oiled myself up twice a day starting in the second tri, for whatever help that would provide, and then just waited for them to show. But they didn't! I think the trade-off was gaining *60* pounds (at least 30 of which was water weight, but weight nonetheless). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-body-change-pp#post-735004 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:55:29 +0000 vnvdvci 735004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Lucky indeed! Granted, I got a lot of stretch marks just going through puberty so I guess it was inevitable...sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-body-change-pp#post-734999 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:53:19 +0000 loveisstrange 734999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my fingers and feet are bigger, my hips are wider, the skin is worse, I'm covered in stretch marks, my boobs are saggier, my nipples are bigger, and I have this lovely pooch of soft skin on my lower tummy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-body-change-pp#post-734985 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:46:09 +0000 MsLipGloss 734985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@vnvdvci: I didn't get any. I totally expected to, but I just got lucky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-body-change-pp#post-734964 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:38:01 +0000 vnvdvci 734964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No one mentioned stretch marks yet? I'm still pregnant (6 days overdue dammit) but I already know those stretch marks aren't going away...it started with one or two stray ones and now I have so many! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-body-change-pp#post-734957 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:36:17 +0000 LuLu Mom 734957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My stomach and I have lovehandles that were never there before, even though I've lost the baby weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-body-change-pp#post-734950 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:33:50 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 734950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope:) so far so good. Check on me after #2 or 3.<br /> I don't love my boobs but I've always known I'd do a breast lift after my last child anyways so I'm not too concerned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-body-change-pp#post-734715 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 14:17:53 +0000 Dandelion 734715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After first one, yes hips got wider. BUT, after this last labor, it hasn't changed any since the first pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-body-change-pp#post-734711 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 14:16:06 +0000 bunnylove08 734711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hips are wider and tummy is extra flabby </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-body-change-pp#post-734702 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 14:13:22 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 734702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup!

I've gained weight breastfeeding, so I can't wait to tackle that with weaning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-body-change-pp#post-734561 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 13:37:16 +0000 meredithNYC 734561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@edelweiss: oh, it took me a long time to not have pee leakage, unfortunately. I would say I still had about at 3 months, but it tapered off soon thereafter. Now at 11 months postpartum I am free and clear in that department, but if I'm going to do cardio I have to pee all the time. Like, running for 30 minutes is a stretch even if I peed right beforehand. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-body-change-pp#post-734308 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 12:10:50 +0000 yellowbird 734308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hips got wider. I actually prefer it. I was pretty straight before, now I have an hourglass shape! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-body-change-pp#post-734302 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 12:08:33 +0000 tysonja 734302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nothing major... just extra chub everywhere :)</p> <p>i'm sooooooooo glad my feet didn't grow!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-body-change-pp#post-734289 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 12:03:54 +0000 fancyfunction 734289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do need to tone up - I'm 4 mo pp and my jeans are finally fitting, but some are still a bit tight. Ugh. But I'm about 6 lbs. from my pre-preg weight - so almost there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-body-change-pp#post-734254 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 11:54:03 +0000 edelweiss 734254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sigh, that damn soft tummy is not going away. also, i'm 3 month postpartum and *still* having bladder control issues--i tried doing some cardio the other day and had to stop for several bathroom breaks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-body-change-pp#post-734242 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 11:50:49 +0000 autumnlove 734242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Soft tummy and my upper body seemed wider during breast feeding but it went back to normal after I weaned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-body-change-pp#post-734241 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 11:50:46 +0000 MsLipGloss 734241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! Other than the extra weight that I am holding on to . . . I won't know for sure until I get back down to my pre-pg weight, but so far, I'm pretty much back to the same ol' me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-body-change-pp#post-734234 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 11:49:15 +0000 mrsjyw 734234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i haven't noticed a HUGE body change besides these gigantor BFing bubbies and a soft tummy that i'm working to tone up right now... </p>
