about being pregnant....
NOT HAVING TO STICK IN MY STOMACH.
Egh, 2 months PP and we all know the stomach is far from being what it used to be, so I find myself sucking it in all the time.
-
YES.
I had to buy a tankini swim top yesterday because a) my giant bubbies from breastfeeding won't fit in my old ones and b) I refuse to let the jello mold that was once an attractive stomach let hang out for the world to see.
Yet I'm still sitting here on my a$$ not doing anything about it and I'm cleared to do anything I did pre-pregnancy since it's been 7 weeks
-
@babyjmama: You have time! I got the okay from the doc last week. So it's time to get crackin'. I've been doing great on the weigh loss but not so much on the toning portion.
-
That is what I'm just learning to appreciate about being preg! I only just got to where I don't have the ability to suck it in, and the realization that I don't have to worry about how my stomach looks was very....freeing. I wore a bikini in the pool with DH on Fri and it was so weird not worrying about if I looked gross in the tummy-ha!
-
Oh gosh yes. I realise that I didn't fully appreciate how liberating it was at the time!
-
I wear flowy tops so I don't have to worry about it as much.
-
HAHA. One of the things I love about being pregnant is having an excuse for being round
-
@chopsuey119: I loved being pregnant for that reason. I've always had a Tummy so not having to worry about it for 6 months were the best 6 months (I should say 12 - 2 pregnancies) of my life!!!!
-
LOL. I just carry the baby as my excuse. I still am pretty big in the tummy and plan to get it back to normal by 6-7 months from now (now 2months pp)... But right now I'm more happy in bikini than I was with my old 25" inch waist. I kid you not.
-
Yes! I loved that for once it was okay to have a belly!
-
@Boogs: my sentiments exactly.
-
Haha Yes!! I tried on a bunch of dresses in my closet yesterday and found a total of 1 I could wear without worrying about sucking in.
-
@mediagirl: Egh! No fun! I'm actually jealous you can wear dresses, unless they are strapless I can't becasue I'm breastfeeding.
-
@Mrs. Sunglasses: Yes you can! I wear button down dresses, strapless dresses, and those wrap or faux wrap dresses (with a cami secret to hide the major cleavage).
-
@Mrs. Sunglasses: Oh yes. I'm just pumping, so I can. But....nothing fits. The one I wore to church, I was totally busting out of on top. I guess that's better than what it was before when I had to wear a safety pin to keep the top together, but still...
-
@pastemoo: Ya i don't have any in those category. I have a few v-necklines but that are halters. So I have to wear a bra. and it doesn't work.
-
@Mrs. Sunglasses: Bummer. I bought some for cheap at 35 weeks pregnant or so when nothing fit anymore. They were like $14 each and look kind of like: http://www.jeanswarehousehawaii.com/images/dress/dress4.jpg

SAME HERE. I've had a tummy for the past year, and it was so nice to finally be showing off my tummy!!! But now... (sighs)
I kinda miss the kicking too - it was pretty magical.
-
Hahaha...I always said that my stomach was the hardest it's ever been when I was pregnant! Oh how I loved it.
-
Did you guys wear bikinis during pregnancy or preferred a 1 piece? I am trying to convince DH to take me somewhere tropical for our babymoon in October, and I'm debating if I should flaunt the bump in a bikini (since I was always self-conscious about my belly pre-baby).
-
@Sammyfab: hahah hardest ever! ditto!!!
@cokiezombie: Until my stretchmarks showed (at 37 weeks) I wore a bikini. The only time in my life I wasn't self conscience. Flaunt it girl! because after, you might not be able to . I've adopted the one piece!
