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?

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!

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!

Two pregnancies and diastasis recti have done a number on my stomach. It's definitely a hot mess up in here.

@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....

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?

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.

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.
I don't have issues with my weight, but I want my clothes to fit better, and feel more confident in my own skin.

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.

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.
I'm sure some ab work would probably help too, lol.

Yes, I definitely have more of a puff on the right side. I think DD permanently stretched it out with all her intense kicking right in that area Also my belly button looks so much bigger, and my linea negra never really faded.
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.
