s/o "Twin Skin"

Not to freak out any of you who are still pg...I found this website really helpful in understanding that everyone's body changes after having babies (be it one or two, or more). I know everyone is different, and some of the twin images are extreme, but for some people that is reality.

Some of the images are NSFW just as an FYI.

    I looked here too when I was pregnant.  It gave me a realistic impression as to what to expect.

    My tummy never looked the same after DS and I was a size 4. I had lose pudgy skin hanging. Let's not get started on my belly button. I am so scared to see what I will look like after these twins get here, but what I do know is they are so worth it. I am a mom. With a mom tummy!

    my stomach 7 weeks pp definately has alot of sag, and twin skin... I was hopeful itwould go away but after reading thatwebsite I am not so sure. Its well worth it, I have two beautiful babies.

    My belly looks A LOT like the second picture in on the top.  My abs separated...and my belly button is long and crooked- it's really weird.  I also have the flap thing and the wrinkled skin---someone said "crumpled pantyhose" on another post and that describes it perfectly!

    I had a feeling I wouldn't escape the stretch marks (my sister got them with my nephew), but I didn't realize about "twin skin" until much later in my pregnancy.  I'm not working out, but I'm 10 lbs heavier than pp, and my skin is looose.  Makes me wonder what it's really going to look like when I actually start exercising.  I know I will never look like I did pp, but I am so envious of the ladies that have a flat tummy.  I told DH right after I had the girls that I'm starting a tummy tuck fund.  Whether I'm actually brave enough to go forward with it a few years down the road is another story, but I figure I'll have the money in case I am.
