Do you have your pre-prego body back?

Yes I'm back to my weight but I feel like I have to loose more to feel as good as I did before because my belly sticks out more ..sigh

 

I weigh 10 lbs less than pre-preg which I LOVE. I am a size smaller. Only prob is my boobs are now pancakes and I almost haveto fold them to put them in my bra.LOL. My belly is different, it's floppier, but I didn't get any stretch marks on it thank god (I have plenty on my hips from adolescence anyway) My Belly button didn't actually pop fully but it is much bigger now, so I got it pierced on holidays last week loving it.

 

I'm back in my pre-pregnancy clothes. I'm a few pounds less than pre-pregnancy weight, but I'm still carrying an extra 15 pounds from the first pregnancy. I'm not sure if that counts or not!!

I've been down below pre-pregnancy weight for weeks now at 114 lbs. and 5'7" tall. When I got preggo I was at 120 lbs. I'm now almost 5 weeks PP. My main issue is the fact that these babies were #5 and #6 and I carried them to 38.5 weeks and was all belly, but now my belly looks like it's been ran over by a truck and the stretch marks and loose skin are horrid! I used to have such nice, smooth tight skin on my belly until the twins, lol. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make the skin look better without the costly plastic surgery? I'm really upset about how my belly looks these days. Oh, and the skin hurts sooo badly still. Way worse than the incision from the c-section ever did!


No answers on how to make the twinskin improve (though it does seem to get slightly better over time), but my pain from all the stretching started to get dramatically better from 6-8 weeks pp.

Who would have imagined that my SKIN would hurt after giving birth?! Ouch - it was honestly the worst part of my recovery.

NOOOOOOOOOO! - as I sit here in my running clothes. i was 5 lbs away when i stopped bf - now i am 10lbs away. what the heck! i blame it on my newly inserted mirena, but it may have also been that after weaning it took about a month for my appetite to calm down. also there is a complete redistribution, arms and legs are exactly the same but boobs and belly are not mine - i swear! i went for a bra fit this weekend, sure i was back down to a 36DD at least - but no - still a 36G. Will my boobs ever go back??? i also think that at my age (30) the weight is not going to melt off with out serious help. before pg i ran three times a week and did bikram yoga three times - just to maintain a toned 135 - now i am lucky to get one run and one yoga in per week - two runs if i am feeling super motivated. it is just so hard to find the time! ok done complaining - must go for run while pushing double stroller - does that count for extra???
worse comes to worse - once we are sure we are done having babies - there is always the tummy tuck....

 

ooh, my skin was the worst part too--I forgot how bad that hurt!!!

I don't have twinskin anymore, it shrank right back up, but the stretchmarks are still there. They are fading, but the texture of my skin is totally different. I don't care though, I have my two beautiful babies, and they have totally changed my perspective on my body. Rather than being disgusted with the stretchmarks, I am awed by them.
