PP belly

How long did it take you to get rid of your pp belly?  I'm 4 weeks pp and I still look like I'm 4-5 months.

    Although I've lost all my pregnancy weight, my pouch is still there. *sigh*

    I want my Gwen Stefani abs back. I miss them.

    Your baby is so cute. Congratulations. I see you live in NoVa. Cool! I'm in Leesburg.

    Although I lost all my pregnancy weight within a few weeks, my previous small belly and tiny waist are still pretty flabby.

    I was back to my pp weight at 3 months. Unfortunately my belly still has a small pouch.

    My proportions have gone totally matronly postpartum.  Bleh. 

    That said, it improved a little around 3 months or so.  Do you do yoga or pilates?

    It never completely went away but took a good 4-5 mos pp for it to go down and get into regular pants again.  Good news is that it was faster after #2.

    Mine was gone within a couple of weeks. My belly is now flatter than before pregnancy, but I have other issues (TTC related, as my weight is now too low to get pregnant).

    My youngest is 2 and I still have a small little pouch!  With both my girls, I still looked a little preggo at 2-3 months but at that point, I started getting back in shape.  I lost all my pregnancy weight at around 6-7 months with #1 but it was a good 9 months or even 10 before my tummy was closer to normal.  With #2, I still have about 5-10 pounds to lose and my tummy is just a bit more stretch and I doubt it will ever look like it used to.

    You're only 4 weeks out, I would give it a few more months.

    I am buying a flat belly. That is the only way it was ever going to happen again for me.

    I am only 3 pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight, but my body is trashed. I don't get it.  Shouldn't something be smaller to compensate for the bigger middle?
