How long did it take for your belly to shrink?

ktjune06

I definitely feel my uterus contracting during and after breastfeeding.  My belly has gone down considerably but I still look like I did when I was 4 months pregnant with the babies.  I was all belly.  It seems to have stopped going down in the past week so I'm wondering how long it will be before I no longer look pregnant.  I know I'll still have extra weight to lose but right now I look pregnant.

Two years later and I still look pregnant!

It took me about 2 1/2 months and that's with working out with a trainer.  And there is still room for improvement

I'm 4-1/2 months pp and I still look 4 months pregnant. I guess breastfeeding can only do so much! I gained a total of 65lbs with my pregnancy and have lost 50 of them so far, but the remaining 15lbs are right in the middle Very frustrating!!

I hope you have better luck!

I'm still "working" on mine.  It's been steadily going down since delivery but has a way to go.  It's a lot of extra skin, but also, I think my ute is still sticking out a bit.  I gained 75 lb. and have lost 60.  I haven't lost any weight in a while, but I'm definitely getting into clothes I couldn't a few weeks ago.  So this confirms my suspicion that the belly is shrinking even though I'm not actually losing weight.  And I haven't worked out or dieted because I can't manage it right now.  I do skip a bunch of meals, though, because of time.  (Healthy, I know...)

umm....still there ;o(

 I think most of it is just extra skin, but there is definitely still a pooch..sigh

I don't think I have more belly than I have anything else... I don't really feel like I have more pooch than I ever did pre-preg but I am definitely bigger all over.  I am still working on my last 15 pounds of baby weight.  I think it just totally depends on your body type and metabolism.  I don't look pregnant but I don't fit in any of my old clothes (because I'm just bigger all over)
