My belly: before, during and after twins- I'm finally feeling brave enough!

Before twins: I did a "boudoir" promotion with a photographer friend of mine...

During twins: 36 weeks, 4 days before I delivered.

 After twins: This is 4.5 months after the twins- The stretchmarks are pretty bad, my belly button in just weird but my skin is doing ok.

    Ha! Thanks! I am so thankful now that I ended up doing that shoot, because soon after I found out my belly would never look the same!

    I had really bad abdominal separation and I've been working like crazy to make it better... I know when I was pregnant I searched endlessly for "after" pics and they were hard to come by...

    Lucky you.... You look great in all 3!  I only hope to look that good.  My worst fear about this whole pregnancy is losing my old body.  My hubby LOVED my old body, and I really really want it back.

    Oh man, I'm jealous!  My twins just turned 3 months, and it feels like I'm still sporting a 3-4 month belly, even though I'm fitting into my normal work pants (they are low rise and I've got stretched out skin hanging over the top).  Your stretchies are fading pretty good!

    It got a lot better from month 3-4.  I exfoliate my tummy and hips in the shower everytime and slather on wheat germ oil.  They've gone from pink/red to light purplish...

    You look great!  I wish I could get rid of my "pooch".  My abs separated too.... my doc told me no sit ups...but that I could work my obiques.  Guess I better google oblique exercises...because I haven't any idea what good ones are. 

    I've only hit the elliptical twice...I can't get motivated when my belly has stayed a pot belly.  Huh?

    You look great! I am hoping to get rid of the flabby belly in the next couple months- I'm actually looking forward to going back to the gym.

    You look great!  I did a boudoir shoot a few motnhs before we got preggers too!  Boy I wish I looked like that again :)  How long did it take for you to really notice your post baby belly getting smaller?  It's been a month for me and I feel like my belly is never going to go away!!  I can't wait until my 6wk appt so the Dr can clear me to work out!  Also, how did you know you had abdominal seperation?

    You look great! 

    I loved seeing after pictures when I was pregnant and it was hard to find twin after pictures. I've been wanting to post some as well but haven't gotten around to it.

    Thanks for sharing!

    I went on the nuva ring at my 6wk appt, which gave me major bloating- I went off a month later.  Since then I've really been watching what I'm eating, walking everyday, hula hooping and doing a little yoga each night.

    The ab separation was apparent, when I would do a crunch I had a fistwide space between the muscles, now I'm down to a finger or two...
