Muffin top

My pants fit (surprisingly) but I have a muffin top.  More suprisingly is that my tops are all tight.  Not sure if it's from boobage & muffin or just muffin.  What about you ladies?

Re: Muffin top

  • Same. Not all my pants fit though.

    This did eventually go down/away after DD.  I was wearing pants from college when I got pg with DS.  So there is hope!

    I am really worrying this time around though - I don't know if it's going to pan out for me a second time. It's just loose skin. Ick.

  • I'm lucky enough to be below PP weight, however, I still sport my mat pants/jeans every chance I get, so I'm not sure.

  • Me too. My pre pregnancy jeans are still packed away, I don't even want to look at them. It'll make me too sad. I wouldn't even be able to get them over my thighs.

  • Ugh I am dealing with the same thing. My pants are okay I just feel uncomfortable in most of my shirts. I hope it's starts to bounce back soon . . .

  • I wear my Be band with my pre-pg work pants almost every day.  Shirts are ridiculous.  My button up work shirts still have like a 2 inch gap between the buttons.  I had to buy a whole bunch of new shirts, and I recently bought a few new pairs of jeans too.  Totally worth it!  I was so sick of maternity stuff!  And my new clothes make my muffin top way less noticeable because they're not so tight.

  • Wow I feel so much better.  Thanks everyone for writing in.  I've decided to totally indulge & get a mother's helper this summer 3 mornings per week mostly for working out time.  I told DH either I spend the $ on a new wardrobe or on an extra set of hands.  Reading everyone's response makes me think it's normal & would go away eventually, but I can't wait cuz like I said I don't want to go shopping for the next size up-which would put me into plus sizes b/c I'm quite tall it's not like I'm a size 2 to start with.  I wouldn't even know what stores to go to, it'd be discovering a whole new world.  I'm so glad DH is on board for spending the money.
  • YES!  Between the boobs and the muffin top all my shirts are too tight.  I remember the same thing last time too, but this muffin top is bigger.  :(  

    It took fully 9-10 months last time before I felt good in my pre-preg pants, but I think that also had to do with the fact that DS was BFing less by then and I finally wasn't starving and eating non-stop.

  • Yep, in the same boat. But I still weigh 10 pounds more as well than I did pre-pregnancy.

  • I have some serious muffin top.  The weight is not coming off as easy this time around.  But even with DD all the squish did eventually tighten up, it took about 6 months for me with DD, and this time I am on a strict schedule to fit into MOH dress by sept.  I have managed to squeeze into it once and zip it all the way, but far from comfortable.

  • I fit in my pre-preg pants, but thanks to my loose flappy belly meat I have it. The muff has won. My pants aren't tight at all, but there it is. :(
