    I've just had our third bub a couple of weeks ago. With number 1 and 2, I didn't get any stretchmarks and my tummy went back to normal-ish, after a year or so. Still a bit wrinkly if I bent forward, but flat when upright. Well, number 3 bubs sat all out the front, didn't she! I'd had a 5cm dram after my second baby (who weighed 4.7kg at birth), so with this one, there wasn't any pregnancy out the sides, I was just bump out the front and therefore got heaps of stretchies I think my tummy is starting to get smaller, but I honestly don't think it's going back to where it was beforehand. I also ended up having to have a third c/s and the scar/s tend to pull in a bit. Will wait and see what's happening after a year (?) hmmm

    My third is nine weeks and my belly is pretty much back to what it was before (not flat! Im about 10+kg over what I would like to be but this was pre baby) I dont seem to have any extra skin/stretched skin compared to pre bubs

    I didnt get stretch marks with any of my pregnancies. DD3 was my biggest, almost 1kg bigger than dd1 but other than a crater belly button like mylitta it hasn't changed much, oh and I still have a line nigra but that lasted almost 6 months with my first two so Im not too worried

    I would think the only thing you could do is make sure you have strong core muscles before you get pregnant? dont know if that would help though

    I love this picture/poem Birthmarks sorry I wanted to post the image as an attathcment but it would be too small to read
