Yep, if I relax, I look like I did around 20 weeks. If I support it, probsbly around 12-16 weeks. I got asked when I was 4 weeks PP when my due date was. I just can't wrap my brain around why anyone would ask!

Nope. However I was sick with both pregnancies. I also had a preemie this last time.

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!

Yup. 11 weeks pp and I still have a gut.

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.

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.

There's this one lady at work that makes comments daily about how big I am. STFU

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.

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!

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!

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.

@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.

I don't think so! At least, I hope not!

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.

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.

@MrsKoala: you definitely don't! You look great!

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.

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.

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).

4 months PP and I probably look 16-20 weeks pregnant but I'm working on it
