I'm Currently Feeling: | I got totally busted at a store the other day...this girl was looking at baby bottles and she had a pretty decent bump, so of course, I asked when shes due, and she replied "I gave birth six days ago"..then another girl on TV had a pretty hefty looking bump right after birth...I wonder, how long does it take for the stomach to somewhat deflate? | | | | Status: Online

I'm Currently Feeling: | Well, the reason I am asking this is because I am trying to figure out what ind of shirt to bring with me to wear after I give birth.
I have always had a super flat belly and now, even though my belly is huge, it is tight and nothing is hanging, nothing is loose.
I am so afraid of loose skin, isn't that pathetic? | | | | Status: Online

I'm Currently Feeling: | Age, number of babies, heredity etc. all factor into mummy tummy.
One nice thing about breast feeding is that it helps not only loose the extra weight, but the oxytocin that is produced when baby feeds helps stimulate the uterus to contract back down to prepregnancy size very quickly.
Some women always have the bit of skin hanging around for a while. www.theshapeofamother.com Post-partum pregnancy gallery
There are some full nudity here... lots of women are NOT ashamed to show every and all the effects of pregnancy on their bodies. You are forewarned  | | | | Status: Online
