    I guess this is one of the downfalls of my choice to have babies young.
    The most annoying part is that my absolutely tiny mother that just had twins only put on 7kg in her pregnancy, no stretch marks, lost all the weight by six weeks and has her flat gorgeous tummy back - and that's after having three kids before them.
    Genetics suck.

    Ashleajayne - OMG, that's amazing that your mum hasnt got stretchies after the twins. Genetics definately suck, I agree.

    mumofmany - I wasn't in a health fund but got a medicare refund on the anethetist and it cost me around $5000, but would have been more had I stayed in hospital longer. That was about 5 years ago.

    My stomach is terrible, my skin has never been that elastic, plus I tend to be overweight DH has agreed though that if I lose the weight and keep it off for a year I can have a tummy tuck and maybe a boob lift. Weight gain and loss, plus babies was not a good combo for my body.

    i only put 10 kilo on this preg, over 20 with the 1st one however this time is when my skin was ruined, go figure.
    I was thinking of tummy tuck but think i will just have to wear the wounds proudly....like most mums.
    thanks everyone for sharing
