Although I'm on track to gain 50 lbs during pregnancy, I am not particularly worried about losing the weight since I have had success losing weight before through diet and exercise. What I am worried about is the stretched out skin from my huge belly. I'm sure it'll be there. Will it ever go away?
-
My stomach did not go back. It is somewhat flat but very saggy and stretched out.
-
Mine went back to normal (I'm 8 mo pp). I gained 45 or so pounds too, but didn't get stretch marks. I'm pretty happy with how mine bounced back. Even after delivery I didn't have a lot of sag to my skin, though. I just looked fat. Genetics is a HUGE player here and its just luck, although I do exercise a decent amount.

I've lost the baby weight and then some. My stomach looks pretty good, but not perfect. There's definitely still some extra skin, but not terrible and I'd rock a bikini with things as-is. I'm 9 months pp.
-
Skin went back to normal after my first. After my second, stomach was flat-ish and looked normal, except when I bent over and then it would be obvious how it was kind of stretched out and saggy. Pregnant with my third now...no clue what it'll look like.

@LazyLightning: I gained 60 pounds during my pg, and at 7 months pp (with still about 15ish pounds to go), my stomach is definitely looking a lot like it did pre-pg . . I am pretty sure it will be almost exactly like before. FWIW, I didn't get any stretch marks.
ETA: I think it's totally a crap shoot! The best you can do is stay hydrated and moisturized for all the good it will do, if any(!), and just wait to see what happens.

I gained around 50lbs while pregnant. My skin is pretty much back to normal. There is a little sag around the belly button but it is so not noticeable at all unless you're me.
-
I got a little bit of saggy but still lots of squishy that I need to get rid of.
-
Definitely sag.
-
I guess yeah, luck of the draw! I have a lot of stretch marks but none on my stomach. Just my sides, thighs, and rear.... so far....
-
Def lucked out with no stretch marks and no loose skin. My tummy is still soft (4.5 pp) but looks the same as prepreg. I gained about 38 lbs and have 10 to go still. I'm 5'7"
-
Same as @mrsjyw...no stretch marks and no lose skin but it is soft... and I don't see that changing anytime soon
-
Um, no. Granted I'm only 7 weeks PP, but tummy is jacked up. I only gained 20ish pounds, but I have a short torso and got lots of stretch marks. My stomach looks like a Shar Pei puppy. So sad.

I gained almost 60lbs (5'3") and it went back, no stretch marks.

I gained about 25 pounds and mine went back with no stretch marks.
