Ijust had second baby boy just over a month ago and still have a bit of the baby bump left. I am concerned however as I have all this loose skin on my stomach and fear what it will be like when the stomach goes back to its regular size ( uterus is still large ).
When I lay down the skin looks like elephant skin and you can pinch it up in pieces, its revolting.
I dont expect to look like Elle Macpherson after 2 kids however want to know if there is anything I can do to tighten the skin.
Ohh yeah, you want to see my belly after 5 kids !! Yes I have elephant skin. And I am a size 12. The more weight I loose the more loose skin I have. Nothing short of a tummy tuck will fix my stomach. There is no elasticity in my skin on my stomach left
Deancey, my first pg absolutely wrecked my tummy *blushes*, I put on nearly 40kg. Going from 45kg to near 80kg's..
I never got any fresh stretchies from the next 2 babies but started going to the gym, got superfit and back to around 50kg and I still had the skin hanging down over my cha cha. I was doing 100 sit ups a day and that didn't help either.
I had a tummy tuck 5 years ago and now I am praying that this pg doesnt' ruin my tummy again - almost 30 weeks and no sign of stretching yet .
deancy - can i ask did you put on alot of weight with your 2nd (more than the first)
reason i ask is i am preggas with my 2nd only 8 months between pregnancies and im scared imll get the elephant tummy aswell... in my 1st preg with DS i put on about 30 kgs - kept 9 extra after birth this one is better pregnant with DD and so far ive put on only about 6kgs and im half weigh through..
Dont seem to have any extra strectchies yet but mine mostly came after i gave birth aswell.
