Im so scared my stomach isnt going to go back to normal after this pregnancy. Im about 31 weeks, no stretch marks yet, but im so scared of the excess skin and everything!! Has anyone gotten their stomach back?
Oh and you should get a postpartum belt. I wore mine all day for months after getting home from hospital and took it off only at night for bed.
I feel like for me it helped with the swelling in my stomach and helped push fluids out and made me recover faster. I also feel like it helped push my hips back faster.
My stomach went back to normal both times in a week or so. It's amazing what our bodies can do!
Mine did with hard ass work, these are almost 2 years after my second son.
I have my stomach almost* back to normal. I was a size 0 before my daughter and I’m a size 2 now only because she gave me hips and a butt I never had! I have worked out since I was cleared to do so ( 10 wk pp) and I have what I call, baby abs. I was very into fitness prior to becoming pregnant, and I also didn’t get any stretch marks. If you put your mind to it, eat clean and work out, you absolutely get close to where you wanna be. 🧡 you got this.
Nope. I’m almost 9 months PP and I still have my mommy pouch. Like kyra said, you won’t be worrying about your stomach once your baby is born. Trust me, you won’t even have the time to worry about little things like that because you’ll be too busy caring for your baby. Your body is going to need a lot of healing after growing a human for 9 months, so don’t expect your body to “bounce back” right after your baby is out of you, it takes A LOT of time and a lot of patience. Also, don’t be upset if you still look pregnant after giving birth, that’s expected, and it’s completely normal because your uterus will take weeks to shrink back down. A lot of women expect to go back to normal right after birth, and that unfortunately doesn’t happen.
Mine went back after all 4, it just took longer with each. With my last it almost took a year
