My tummy will never be the same (unless I get a tummy tuck), I still have serious stomach muscle seperation - when I lay down flat I can pretty much push my belly button right into my belly 3/4 the way up my hand.
I have stretch marks but they are fading, but my skin is all stretched out and 'crepey' looking - like someone who has lost a lot of weight. Although I think my age might have something to do with the damage as I was 38 when the twins were born plus I had 2 pregnancies in 2 years (DD is 18mths older than the twins).
Shall we say that my stomach no longer sees the light of day and I now have a little pot belly and a bit of tummy overhang. When I go out I have to wear control top undies now so that my jeans and pants fit me properly without having the over belt and below belt bulges.
Saying that considering I carried two babies - Twin 1 weighed 5lb 8oz and Twin 2 weighed 6lb 1oz - for 37 1/2 weeks and only put on 13 kg's I think I came away from it pretty well and even when I make comments to my DH about my 'saggy' belly he always tells me that I did have 2 babies in there at the same time
MrsC: I just look at your pic, you had such a petite bumpI reckon I was that big carrying DD but I do seem to carry my babies all out front.
