Let's talk about Post Baby Bodies (#2 and on)

[katiescarlett]

DS stretched my stomach to the max and left giant stretch marks and elephant skin. My boobs are like deflated little things where they used to be perky. I don't think DD did any further damage to my stomach, but we are still bfing so I can't say the same for my boobs. I'm nervous to see what they'll be like after she's weaned. I'm embarrassed by how much I care about some extra skin and droopiness.

I got in great shape by 6 months pp with DS. My stomach wasn't flat, but I've never had a flat stomach. My body looked pretty much the same as pre pg.

I'm only 7 weeks pp, but I think my stomach is permanently damaged. There is a flap of skin that folds over on my lower stomach. It's disgusting.

I have this too! I always tell my husband that if I could just staple it down it could cover my c-section scar and then that would be a win-win. I wish I did not think about my stomach skin as much as I do :-(

After #1, the weight is flying off of me from BFing. I'm already 20 lbs below my pre-PG weight and still falling. I've actually started eating MORE so I don't lose too much weight. That being said, I do have a lot of serious stretch marks. All over my stomach which is poochy, plus some on my breasts and inner thighs. I do feel my body is pretty wrecked. I thought I looked nice pre-PG, like I felt fine in a bikini or naked in front of DH. Now I'm self-concious in front of DH for the first time ever
