    3rd baby gave me my apron :/ I was similar to you with 1 and 2 but 3.... Oh my :/ I'm only 3kg over my pre preg weight yet my belly just looks fat and saggy. I said to dh just the other day tht it was the price we paid for such beautiful children

    Mine's pretty flat. There is some loose skin and I suspect that I'll always look pregnant after a large meal but it's nothing that I'm losing sleep over and nothing that some shaping underwear wouldn't sort out if I was fussed about it.

    Mine is still jiggly and flabby - but I'm old so it could be caused by that too

    No apron or g-unt though, no stretch marks either Everyone is different I guess.

    I saw a photo on FB this morning though which made me feel better. I totally look like Cindy Crawford.

    Um... mine is pretty much the same as it was pre pregnancy. I didn't get stretch marks or loose skin with any of my 4. I have a little podge after DD3, but its not really noticable & I've just noticed its starting to disappear.

    I'm no help, but I don't think anyone can really tell you what will happen to your body IYKWIM? My mum is similar to me, so maybe ask your mum about her experience (although, it could be different for her too!) Stretch marks are genetic

    My stomach wasn't flat to begin with, but my first pregnancy was what ruined my tummy. I got heaps of stretch marks and the apron . My pregnancy with DD, nothing much changed. I didn't get any new stretch marks. I'm hoping the damage has already been done. I know I'll never wear a bikini.

    Love that photo! She still has a bloody 6 pack under the wrinkles though! lol
    I suppose it is about the work you put into it too. I know people with 4 kids who have the podge, the apron, and look quite bad, and others who have a perfectly flat stoamch still ('tis ok, we all hate her too lol) ;p But she works for it and was very fit pre-babies too.

    I suspect mine wouldn't look much different to what it does now. I got more stretch marks with DD2 but it was the cs that gave me teh apron, the gunt, and my iss-ewes! lol
