What's your problem area...

MissMex

We were able to be with some friends last night, and a girlfriend of mine, who had a baby 1 month after me to the day looks better now than before she was PG. I'm not convinced she didn't have any surgical assistance, (even her strech marks are gone) but she's the kind of person that would deny having work done to her priest. Anyway, being slightly jealous it made me pretty self consious of my own streach marks & tummy. I feel good about most of my body rebounding, but I still have a lot if work left to do. I'm feeling really motivated to keep hitting the gym and continue eating clean.I still feel like it's gonna be a while, but I'll get there, eventually. I def won't be wearing a bikini any time soon... So what is your "problem" area? What is bugging you pp? Any special tricks you use(d)?

i was looking into getting a belly band, even though i got something similiar from the hospital my stomach is going to be my problem area. i have stretch marks too, i have been using bio-oil and trying to find medema for stretch marks. i cant wait until i able to exercise again.

just give your body time to rebound, everyone is different and i think if you stay motivated you will be back in no time!

My stomach- three LO's later and I may be stretch mark free but I have this 'dip' in my lower stomach above my c section scar that has deepened with each surgery.

The only way to fix that completely is surgery- which sucks.  I will probably get it fixed? ( i go back and forth) but there's no way I'd do this now and be out of commission for six weeks with my LO's being so young.

I feel the same way. I know 100% I will wait until we are done, but having to deal w/ recovery and LO's would be too much to deal w/. My OB 's wife does laser treatments, and I have seriously thought about doing those, but can't justify spending the $ just yet, especially if I will have to have them redone w/ each child.

Luckily, it was/is only noticeable to me and dh- unless of course, I were to sport a low rise bikini (NOT HAPPENING- EVER!)

But, it makes me self conscious..

I swear- if my post baby self could have had a talk with my  pre baby self, the confidence I'd have had.

After I had Rowen my problem area was my thighs/butt.  My upper thighs are the only place I got stretch marks with Rowen, and I just noticed that I added a few more there this time around.  This area bothered me up until I got pregnant with Phoebe.  Even though my waist was the same size as pre-pregnancy I couldn't fit into the same clothes and I wear a different size jeans due to my thighs and butt.  I hate it!  And now its just gotten bigger!  I feel like after I've had all of my kids I'm going to be one of those women that has a HUGE butt.

This is going to be me. I already have a large butt/hips and my mom's got bigger with each child. She is one of those women, and that scares me. This is one of the reasons I think I may be a 'one and done'. If we want more, it will be through adoption.
