what does your PP belly look like?

Mine just seems like a big ball of flab LOL. I don't remember it being like this with DD #1, so I'm wondering if I just ate a lot more with this pregnancy, or if it's normal and will go down as my uterus shrinks.

I only made it to 34 weeks so mine didn't seem like a big ball of flab but it ain't no 6 pack either! It's a bit of a pooch, even now with only a few pounds left to lose. It definitely got smaller as I got further out from delivery.

Poochy and wrinkly like an elephants knee.

Mine is still a little flabby but pretty close to what it was pp. If its any encouragement I gained 40 lbs which was alot for my frame size and it doesnt look to bad.

Mines okay...more like a pooch. I didn't get any stretch marks, so I'm hoping when I lose these last 15lbs I could one day wear a bikini again!

Mine is so weird looking.  It's like saggy and wrinkly and stretch-marked

Flabby and depressing to look at

I was lucky in the fact that I didn't get stretch marks and my uterus has strunk quite a bit (although my friends and husband still tell me they can tell I just had a baby... thanks guys!) 

However, when I lay down in the bathtub to take a bath... and push on my stomach.. it definately ripples back and forth like waves in an ocean haha. So I definately still have extra skin/some tightening up to do.  I am 15 days Post Pregnancy..

I have a few stretch marks but, thankfully, they're fading quickly (faster would still be nice though....) now it's mostly back to what it was before LO.

Mine went down pretty quick and is almost flat. However, it is still pretty squishy and definitely needs to be toned up. Basically it looks like I have a small beer gut.

It's only been a week... give yourself time. After each pregnancy I think it is a little harder to get rid of the pooch. That's what I've heard anyway.

It's a bit squishy but nothing too bad. It actually looks exactly like it looked last time I weighed this much, except the dark line still hasn't gone away and my belly button looks like a giant gaping cave.

I still have a little pooch that is soft and squishy.  Even though I only went to 28 weeks, I was easily as big as a full term singleton.  I didn't get stretch marks on my belly.  It seems to be getting smaller all the time and I'm sure in a few weeks and once I can exercise again, it will be almost back to normal.  I gained 45 lbs and was on bed rest for 6.5 weeks so my entire body is out of shape.

Like pizza dough. It's not too bad, but it's def. soft and squishy. I did not get any stretch marks during either pregnancy but both times I got one very small purple one after delivery

This-  i gained about 45lbs which is a lot for me.

Mine is just a small pooch at this point...seems more like stretched skin than fat.  (The extra fat is on my hips, not my stomach lol)  As a pp said, it looks like I have a tiny beer gut.  Hoping that once I get my exercise clearance next week I can start working on it a bit!

For point of reference, I was pretty in shape/athletic before the pregnancy and gained 46 lbs during it (am down 31 lbs so far).

Pretty much this. My stretch marks are also still pretty gross.
