belly misgivings

[PumpkinZulu]

a little OT as I have never carried to term, or even past the first trimester, but my (.Y.) changed sooo much after my first pg...and stayed like that. Pre-pg they were 12 DD, now they're 14 E Can't wait to see how they fair when they're full of milk So I guess going by that logic I'll probably be left with a bit of a mummy tummy

Argh,

O dear! I am already a 14E-F! I shudder to think what my WMD's (Wobblies of Mass Destruction) will look like after my milk comes in?

I think breastfeeding can play a big part in post-baby weight loss. I found I did absolutely nothing but the amt of BFing I was doing just used up so many calories and the weight dropped off. After a year or more people were actually suggesting I looked a bit gaunt because I ended up even smaller than when I started.

Don't know if that helps. But it is an added bonus of BF

My boobs were the saddest part I missed them when I stopped BFing - the sad little sacks! Doh! BUT I figure if they remind me of the gift of mothering my kids then it's a no brainer choice.

Not for me. I bf my DD part time for 7mths, then got pg and she weaned fully, and now have been bfing DS for 18mths. I'm fatter than ever. So bfing isn't a weightloss solution for everyone. I had been hoping it would help me, but it never did
