Someone please tell me ....

that this giant shelf developing at the top of my azz will go away after the baby is born! Seriously, I have no idea why this is happening! I'm working out and doing yoga regularly.and my weight gain is within guidelines for someone already overweight. Help!

Re: Someone please tell me ....

  • Oh, E, I wish I could tell you that everything is going to be okay... but it probably won't. LOL Pregnancy does some fuucked up things to most of us!
  • My body is still effed up from my 1st pregnancy....can't wait to see what this one does to me. LOL. All you can do is workout and diet after the baby is born. You can lose whatever weight you gain but your body shape changes permamnetly. It sucks.

  • I've already dropped most of the weight (5 lbs to go!) and the shelf is still there- it's less exagerated, but still there.  I think it's permanent unless I exercise (haven't done that yet, but I lost 44 lbs at my 6 week pp visit by not having time to eat and BFing so I'm hopeful I can take care of the shelf if I get time)

  • if it makes you feel better- when i was preg with DD everyone would tell me how "small" i looked.  and honestly, my belly did.  meanwhile, i gained 49 freakin pounds!  i liked to say that i was carrying the baby in my butt.  (and my thighs, arms, face)  ugh.  it took work but most of it went away.  and now, well, here we go again!  you can get rid of it.  just try not to sweat it now.  unfortunately at this point it is really just out of your control.

  • A month after delivery of LB, I was 14lbs less then before I got pregnant, but I still had/have an incredible pooj pocket for a belly.  Things are rarely the same.  Now that pooj is refilled by a new babe.  Cant WAIT to see what it looks like after he is here... good grief.

    Hahaha!!! This is me... Well I wasn't so plentiful before... But I'm flying through the alphabet already....... Why oh why did I decide to go out and treat myself with all brand new bras right before I got pregnant? Goodbye cute 34 B bras see ya after we wean this one! Hopefully they will still fit ... Unless my boobs go down another size after nursing... Btw.. Who knew boobs shrunk a size after nursing?????

  • Ugh my whole body is all screwed up.  I have 2 lbs to go and I'm TECHNICALLY a size smaller than when I got pregnant but I can't move down another size until I get rid of this belly.  My boobs?  Forget about it.  I went from a 36C to a 40E!  Now I'm back at 38D but they aren't the same... I loved them before and now I plan on getting a lift when I'm done having kids (or at least I can dream of having that done).  I've dropped 42lbs but I have so much more to go.  I don't even want to tell you how much more I'd have to lose to be the weight I was when I got married, lol.
