It's definitely better than how it was a few months ago, but without exercise, I think this is pretty much how it's gonna look. I need to get on it and working out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-your-stomach-go-back-to-the-way-it-was#post-306192 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 13:18:13 +0000 Pink Champagne 306192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5 weeks PP, and my stomach is almost back to normal. However, my hips and butt need me to go back to the gym before they will be back to where I can for into my clothes again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-your-stomach-go-back-to-the-way-it-was#post-306175 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 13:00:58 +0000 cyndistar3 306175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: You sound just like me :( It makes me depressed too. I can't fit any of my clothes the same anymore and it is killing me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-your-stomach-go-back-to-the-way-it-was#post-306154 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 12:33:18 +0000 chopsuey 306154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still had 7-10lbs to lose before getting pregnant again, but it went back to normal for the most part. No extra skin or anything </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-your-stomach-go-back-to-the-way-it-was#post-306060 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 10:05:16 +0000 cvbee 306060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's the same now. 5 months PP </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-your-stomach-go-back-to-the-way-it-was#post-306017 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 08:02:44 +0000 prettylizy 306017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HeatherlovesKenny: amen sister!! After we're done with bebes, I'm getting all this stuff put back where it used to be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-your-stomach-go-back-to-the-way-it-was#post-306013 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 07:55:34 +0000 skipra 306013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 2 weeks pp and my belly is almost flat again. I think once I'm really able to exercise and lose the last 10-15 lbs it'll be back to normal. Hips &amp;butt may be another story... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-your-stomach-go-back-to-the-way-it-was#post-305996 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 06:51:18 +0000 pastemoo 305996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, yes, like @mrsdaredevil, my hips are wider, too. But I like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-your-stomach-go-back-to-the-way-it-was#post-305941 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 23:02:34 +0000 Mrs. Pen 305941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not even close... and it never will be.</p> <p>I had so many stretch marks my stomach looks like map... a touch-and-feel textured map ;)</p> <p>I have extra skin and a pooch that sticks out past my lower tummy. </p> <p>I lost all the weight, but it's soooo different. I'm hoping that by continuing to work out and targeting my abs I will get somewhat of a normal stomach back. </p> <p>It's honestly a real sore point for me.. it really pushes me into a state of depression. I know it sounds so superficial and shallow but sometimes I cry when I see myself naked in the mirror. It's so hard to "embrace" my new body. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-your-stomach-go-back-to-the-way-it-was#post-305940 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 22:59:50 +0000 twinmama 305940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>at 2 months pp, mine's not looking too bad. amazingly, i didn't get any stretch marks, and the skin is slowly tightening back up. like pastemoo mentioned, working the ab muscles seems to be a big factor for me. i started running again the last week or so, and it's made a big difference already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-your-stomach-go-back-to-the-way-it-was#post-305899 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 21:37:11 +0000 mrs. bird 305899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I haven't had a baby yet, so I can't speak for myself on the matter, but I wanted to give you a little hope! The twins I nannied for were born in the month of October &amp; by the summer their mama was rocking a bikini &amp; looking awesome! I was jealous of her flat belly! So there is hope that after twins you can have a kick ass belly, granted I never saw her prepreggo belly, so I can't talk about how different it looked, but she looked great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-your-stomach-go-back-to-the-way-it-was#post-305894 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 21:22:15 +0000 HLK208 305894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My skin feels gross and is saggy. I will have a tummy tuck and breast lift when we are certain that I won't be pregnant again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-your-stomach-go-back-to-the-way-it-was#post-305888 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 21:06:06 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 305888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is not bad, but different. It is flat, but I just have a bit more skin. So it looks fine in a bikini and whatnot, but it doesn't stay tight when I bend over. And my hips are wider. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-your-stomach-go-back-to-the-way-it-was#post-305887 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 21:01:51 +0000 matador84 305887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm exactly 21 days pp and my stomach is almost flat...so there is hope. As for the back.fat, that's another story! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-your-stomach-go-back-to-the-way-it-was#post-305885 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 20:59:44 +0000 betsyboop 305885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My stomach stretched a ton but magically at 3 months post partum, the skin tightened back up. Before that, my belly button looked really weird and stretched out. Now if only i could do something about the stretch marks on my legs... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-your-stomach-go-back-to-the-way-it-was#post-305878 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 20:51:32 +0000 tequiero21 305878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: oooh, thanks! i will look into this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-your-stomach-go-back-to-the-way-it-was#post-305876 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 20:51:08 +0000 Andrea 305876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it did...but I never quite got back to my pre-preg weight so it was a little fatter...not elastic, though. Let's see what happens this time, ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-your-stomach-go-back-to-the-way-it-was#post-305874 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 20:50:04 +0000 loveisstrange 305874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah.... No. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-your-stomach-go-back-to-the-way-it-was#post-305872 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 20:47:23 +0000 Mrs. Train 305872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, irreparable damage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-your-stomach-go-back-to-the-way-it-was#post-305871 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 20:46:36 +0000 pastemoo 305871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It did not go back but it is getting there much better since I started doing transverse abdominal exercises. I feel like I look much better than I did 4 years ago when I was heavy. I think if I lose the last 10 lbs my tummy will look like it did pre preg (well except of course for the stretch marks).</p> <p>This is where I learned about the exercises. <a href="http://www.befitmom.com/abdominal_reconditioning.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.befitmom.com/abdominal_reconditioning.html</a><br /> I am 4 months post partum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-your-stomach-go-back-to-the-way-it-was#post-305869 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 20:45:31 +0000 Sweet T 305869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahaha....no! I'm hoping I run into some very generous people who want to give me a tummy tuck! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-your-stomach-go-back-to-the-way-it-was#post-305865 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 20:41:40 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 305865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>stretch marks, umbilical hernia, saggy skin.</p> <p>I try not to look at it, honestly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-your-stomach-go-back-to-the-way-it-was#post-305861 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 20:39:19 +0000 PrincessBaby 305861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These threads always scare me to death...So I'm not letting myself click on it again and I'm going back to DenialVille. It's nice there:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-your-stomach-go-back-to-the-way-it-was#post-305855 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 20:25:43 +0000 Mrs. Bee 305855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hell to the no it did not go back. i want lipo if only i weren't too scared! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-your-stomach-go-back-to-the-way-it-was#post-305853 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 20:24:02 +0000 tequiero21 305853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so i had twins and i gained weight pretty much only on my belly. when i stand up, my belly isn't so elastic. when i bend over, it definitely looks for lack of a better word.... elastic. kinda gross. </p> <p>so if you had a baby, did your stomach become elastic? if so, did it go back and how long did it take? if not, you are so lucky! </p>
