I lost all the weight I gained during my first pg and got back to pre-baby weight, but my hips were wider. I had a dress that fit perfectly before I was pg that felt super tight across the hips afterwards, despite not having a larger belly or anything. As each pg went on though I kept some of the baby weight each time and with DS2 (last baby) being so big and long my stomach has a super awesome overhang now. It puts me off losing weight because I know it will be there regardless of how much I weight but it would look worse if I was skinnier. My only saving grace is that my stomach muscles never separated more than a finger width so that's one less thing to worry about.
