I'm 12 weeks pregnant though so I should be looking noticeably pregnant soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2110622 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 15:11:20 +0000 sandy 2110622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 months PP and I probably look 16-20 weeks pregnant :bummed: but I'm working on it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2110523 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 14:03:06 +0000 HLK208 2110523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah. No matter how much I lose, I cannot get rid of the pooch...I think there's actually a lot of extra skin there from my belly getting SO big during my first pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2110516 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 13:59:50 +0000 Foodnerd81 2110516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not pregnant, but my stomach definitely isn't toned. But to be fair it doesn't look much different than before I was ever pregnant. I just gain weight there and have weak abs, and have never Put the time or effort into them. </p> <p>I was asked if I was pregnant a few times way before baby, but haven't been asked after (other than the one time when c was 13 days old). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2110291 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:51:17 +0000 MrsKoala 2110291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: &lt;3 and way to go on losing 21!! That's pretty amazing! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2110288 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:48:33 +0000 Happygal 2110288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby is 7 weeks and I weigh less than my pre-pregnancy weight. I didn't gain much during my pregnancy and having GD for that last part helped with that. I guess I'm a person who drops weight when breastfeeding b/c I've done nothing else--in fact, I know I would feel better if I tightened up my diet and started exercising again. I can tell my ab muscles aren't fully together, I have a little c-section pooch, and it seems the linea nigra got darker post delivery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2110171 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:02:50 +0000 erinpye 2110171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. My youngest is 13 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2110138 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 10:47:18 +0000 LAZB 2110138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: you definitely don't! You look great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2110137 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 10:46:41 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2110137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can when I gain weight. (I'm first trimester pregnant again but even before that.) I guess I could use some abs. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2110134 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 10:45:39 +0000 LAZB 2110134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 weeks pp, and yes. I've lost 21 out of 39 lbs, but haven't put in effort yet. Hoping the rest isn't too hard to lose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2110106 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 10:31:11 +0000 photojane 2110106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always had a belly, so I think maybe I've always looked a little pregnant :silly: I'm actually in a smaller size than I was pre-preg, but my stomach definitely looks different... saggy and very soft! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2110098 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 10:27:59 +0000 Mamasig 2110098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My youngest is 10 months and I think I still do depending upon what I am wearing. It's gotten better since I've lost some weight but I still have about 10 pounds or so to go. Honestly, I think I will always have the baby pooch unless I get a tummy tuck. I had a small pooch before babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2110086 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 10:18:29 +0000 snowjewelz 2110086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeeeep. 3.5 mo pp and if I wear form fitting clothes I def have a belly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2110045 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 10:00:46 +0000 MrsKoala 2110045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so! At least, I hope not! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2110031 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 09:55:34 +0000 namaste 2110031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: My boobs are the worst. I don't even try with button downs anymore. I tried a size up and the rest of my body is drowning in them so it looks silly.</p> <p>I've been mostly doing cardio + strength training but I'm adding weights into my routine and I did notice a difference this week. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2110010 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 09:47:52 +0000 avivoca 2110010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@namaste: I forgot about my boobs....I'm a 40D right now which makes buying shirts horrible, and then where my waist is bigger, the pants that fit that area are horribly baggy everywhere else. I need to get my butt in shape and also to a tailor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2109993 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 09:42:03 +0000 namaste 2109993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't in the stomach area and I'm 11 weeks PP but unlike<br /> @avivoca: I have the opposite problem. My waist is fine but my chest and thighs are thicker which makes wearing clothes a nightmare. I'm basically in three different sizes right now, depending on what it is/where it's from.</p> <p>@BeachMama: Congrats mama! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2109968 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 09:31:56 +0000 avivoca 2109968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I do, but I'm pretty sure I just look a little thick in the middle. My waistline is still 3" bigger than it was pre-baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2109967 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 09:30:22 +0000 BeachMama 2109967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, since I'm only 2 days pp I definitely still look pregnant ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2109957 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 09:27:40 +0000 coopsmama 2109957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I do. But it's do to diastasis recti which is when your abdominal muscles separate so much and the connective tissue between them is torn. It's very common - 2/3 of women after giving birth will have some degree of DR. Mine just happens to be pretty significant! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2109954 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 09:25:14 +0000 lawbee11 2109954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: Yes! I had those in 2 sizes as well and they worked really well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2109943 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 09:16:11 +0000 PrincessBaby 2109943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used that Belly Bandit bamboo wrap and it flattened my stomach immediately. I will be buying another one in 2 sizes like I had last time. I think I sold them. Plus I want new super tight ones anyway.</p> <p>I still had 15 lbs to lose at 8days pp but I remember taking a photo and my tummy was flat. Those things are well worth the money! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2109938 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 09:14:10 +0000 lawbee11 2109938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. LO is 19 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2109907 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 08:56:32 +0000 Anagram 2109907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I am pregnant right now, BUT I look at least 2 months MORE pregnant than I actually am, and that's because I gain weight in my belly when I gain (and just like last pregnancy, I've been gaining a ton of weight) and I have 0 ab muscles. It really sucks.</p> <p>I can tell it's not all baby, because I can still "suck in". But obviously, that's not comfortable to do all day, so I walk around looking like I'm 7 months pregnant when I'm really only 4.5 months pregnant. Awesome. </p> <p>There's this one lady at work that makes comments daily about how big I am. STFU </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2109900 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 08:52:16 +0000 Adira 2109900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Yeah, after Xander, I rocked maternity clothes for a long time until I finally just bought new clothes that fit. This time, I bought new clothes before I returned to work, but I'm 2 sizes larger than I was pre-pregnancy. Losing the weight this time around has been so much harder. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2109898 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 08:50:30 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2109898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. 11 weeks pp and I still have a gut. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2109895 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 08:49:57 +0000 Alivoo01 2109895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I don't think I fit back into my pre-pregnancy jeans until like month 5 or 6 and it was only because I bought jeans in a bigger size. I rocked my maternity jeans during my entire maternity leave. lol</p> <p>I eventually lost all the weight, but gained back some during this past holiday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2109890 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 08:47:38 +0000 Canoli 2109890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, sadly I am 11 months pp and feel I still look 3-4 months pregnant. This is my second pregnancy and I just didn't bounce back and not sure I will. I am very skinny everywhere else so I feel very disproportionate and self conscious. Sometimes it really bothers me but other times I'm too busy raising 2 kids to care. Sigh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2109885 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 08:44:45 +0000 nana87 2109885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah... And lo is almost 1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-look-pregnant#post-2109880 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 08:40:04 +0000 MrsRcCar 2109880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. However I was sick with both pregnancies. I also had a preemie this last time. </p>
