And tell us how many weeks post-partum you are, please! I know everyone is different, but maybe we can show those still pregnant what to expect after. Oh, and say how many babies you've had- that makes a huge difference in what to expect after!
this is me, 8 days after delivery, with baby 3.




Re: post-partum mamas: belly pic?
It's harder for women to 'go back to normal' after a 2nd, 3rd, or more baby. But you also have to look at your genetics, too- did your mom have a hard time recovering from pregnancy? Or did she look fabulous and like a pregnancy never happened a month or two later? My mom looked like she'd never had a baby 2months after she delivered my twin and I, so I have good genes. With my first, I was in pre-preg jeans a week later, and back into them 6weeks after my 2nd. We'll see with this one, I can fit into my jeans but they give me muffin top, lol- so I won't be going there for a while yet. But I don't think I'm doing bad!
One week PP, first baby.
You girls look amazing. I'm a first time mama and this gives me a lot of hope!
Here I am at 35 weeks for a frame of reference of how huge my belly was:
This is from this morning, four days after having Maggie. forgive the hospital net undies showing, those things are awesome
Notice I have my precious Maggie on my shoulder. I am only down 12 lbs, I still have 26 more to go. But that said, my belly does seem to have gone down faster with Maggie than it did with Charleigh.
