If you didnt gain a lot of weight through
out your whole pregnancy does your stomach
still sag after you have the baby?

I gained 30lbs, which is in the right
range to gain(what my doc said). And my
tummy still hangs a lil bit but it does go
away. Its not just gonna vanish since it
stretched out so much for a lil baby to
grow in there. You still have to work out
unless you are very lucky and dont get any
sag goin on.

It might a lil bit but it will go away.
Dont worry. Are you scared your gonna
look gross or something after having a
baby? Im just wondering since u posted
two things about stuff of gaining weight
and stretchmarks...You get a beautiful
thing outa pregnancy no matter what ya
look like afterwards. Youll look fine im
sure, it just takes time for it to go back
to normal.

Yeah one of my main concerns is what im
going to look like after is whole thing.
Im only 18 I don't want to have to cover
up my whole body and be self concious from
now on. I probibly wont even think about
this stuff when my baby is born but now
its all I think about. I see people on tv
who've had kids and who are now getting a
tummy tuck b/c their stomachs look
horrible and I dont what that to be me.

Im 17 and I dont want to hide under baggy
clothes either but I dont want to show
everything off anymore. Im a mom and a
soon to be wife, we all gotta grow up
sometime and not show stuff off. I was
worried about what I was gonna look like
afterwards and I dont really care anymore.
Everytime I see my lil girl I smile and
keep on goin with my day. It just takes
some exercises and some cocoa butter maybe
something stronger than cocoa butter to
lighten those stretchmarks up. After I
got outa the hospital two weeks ago I
thought id be able to fit in my normal
clothes right away but I couldnt because I
was swallon..So dont be suprised if u dont
fit in ur normal clothes right away. But
u will eventually im starting to be able
to fit in my clothes now. But your gonna
wanna wear comfy clothes for a lil while
since youll be sore(if you have vaginal
birth).

Yeah im with heather.... Im 15 and I
still like to feel attractive and I dont
hide under baggy clothes....I wear bikinis
and tight clothes and I think I look
pretty damn good for having a baby. I
mean you see much worse than a little sag,
like 300 pound girls in tube
tops....Ewwww! Lol. Sometimes I just
dont care though, sometimes it doesnt
matter what you look like because you know
there are more important things to worry
about!!!

Well im not saying that I want to be a
hoochie or something and not cover up at
all, lol. But i'd like to be able to wear
a tight shirt without my skin sagging
underneth it. I can still wear all my pre
pregnancy clothes now but they are getting
a little tight. I heard that no matter
how much you work out your skin will never
become tight again if it sags.
