post-partum mamas: belly pic?

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.

  • Looking good!  Can't wait to see more pics!

  • In general do women shrink faster or slower the more babies they've had, all else held equal (factor out BFing and all that stuff)?

    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!

  • Aw Laura you and James look adorable, and honestly Tiff I am not talking to your skinny butt right now (jk). I pray I will be able to get in to my pp jeans within like two months, that would be a miracle!
  • 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.
