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...
-
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.
-
Soft tummy and my upper body seemed wider during breast feeding but it went back to normal after I weaned.
-
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!
-
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!
-
nothing major... just extra chub everywhere
i'm sooooooooo glad my feet didn't grow!!
-
My hips got wider. I actually prefer it. I was pretty straight before, now I have an hourglass shape!
-
@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.
-
Soft tummy and big breasts. I've gained weight breastfeeding, so I can't wait to tackle that with weaning.
-
I still gain/lose most easily in the same places. My boobs...ugh.
-
my hips were wider and didn't seem to go down, but i got pregnant 6 months pp, so who knows if they would have.
-
Yup! My hips got wider and my feet got bigger. Boo!
-
hips are wider and tummy is extra flabby
-
After first one, yes hips got wider. BUT, after this last labor, it hasn't changed any since the first pregnancy.
-
Nope:) so far so good. Check on me after #2 or 3.
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. -
My stomach and I have lovehandles that were never there before, even though I've lost the baby weight.
-
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!
-
@vnvdvci: I didn't get any. I totally expected to, but I just got lucky!
-
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.
-
@MsLipGloss: Lucky indeed! Granted, I got a lot of stretch marks just going through puberty so I guess it was inevitable...sigh.
-
@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).
-
@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 & 6months later, they really are gone.
Ido have some "cat whiskers" on my thighs but that is from puberty
-
I have giant stretch marks and extra skin on the tummy...jeans fit but with muffin top, blah.
-
Softer tummy and bigger boobs, but I'm hopeful that those thins will change when I stop nursing!
-
@TurtleDoves: same! I told dh that upfront
-
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!
-
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.
-
@TurtleDoves: Oooohh, I didn't know they could disappear! 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!
My puberty marks grew smaller over the years...I'm hoping these'll at least shrink a little too.
-
wider hips, bigger boobs, soft tummy... by 8 months pp with working out i had fixed the soft tummy. stopped working out and realized i am much more prone to soft tummy now. bummer!
