I only gained 40 pounds (that's what the doctor suggested) so that helped.

As I said before, 2 weeks post partum I'm only 4 lbs above pre-pregnancy. However, I gained 8 lbs doing 6 months worth of fertility treatment. So, I'm actually 12 lbs above my norm. I figure I still have a couple pounds in my belly and a couple pounds in my boobs.

ooh pics would be really helpful if you dont mine - I would really appreciate it xxx

I will post pics in a couple weeks. They say it takes 4-6 weeks alone for the uterus to go back to normal. So, I will wait a bit and then post some for you. : )

Wow you lost 7 stone! well done!

About the loose skin lol, I'm a chub anyway so the thought really hadn't entered my mind! But I am using cocoa butter and if the skin is really horrendous then I'll do some exercising. But at the end of the day that flabby skin means you did a lovely thing in having two beautiful little babies! xxx

12 days after Daniel - baby number 3 (2 years after having twins)

Alarmingly the same pair of trousers in each picture!

Wow you look great!

I already gained 35 lbs and got a couple more months of growing to do. Oh well, I will deal with it after the babies are born. I have been put on a strict diet since the positive GD test so this should help curve the weight gain. I use cocoa butter daily. Sometimes my belly seems so stretched that it stings a little when you touch it.
