Moms of twins - how long does it take to recover body shape after pregnancy? |
Ok, this question is silly and shallow. I'm acknowledging that in advance. And, yes, I'm suitably embarrassed about asking about this topic. I'm almost 12 weeks along and am expecting twins. Today, I took a look at an online photo gallery of pregnant bellies of women expecting twins or more - almost all the pictures are from twin pregnancies, with the occasional inclusion of an expectant mom of triplets. If you're curious - it's at http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/pregnancyp... So, I perused the belly pics and am astounded at just how large the bellies are. Yes, I knew that I could expect to grow larger than women pregnant with singletons, but I'm honestly intimidated and more than a bit freaked out. Some of those belly pics, particulary past 30 weeks, look painful. How painful is it, really? Do the stretch marks hurt? For moms of twins or more - how long did it take you to regain your pre-pregnancy shape? Was it possible at all? Congrats girl..twins are the greatest! Yes your belly will get HUGE..and its not necessarily your belly that hurts..more like your pelvis and hips and back. The stretch marks dont hurt a bit..I wasnt even upset when i got them..i figured that they were a mark of mommyhood and they still dont bother me! I went through a lot in my complicated pregnancy..I am just happy I came out of it with two beautiful baby boys! Well I had my boys 6 months ago and still have like 25 lbs to lose..(i know its sad huh) It has been really hard for me to lose the weight..i was depressed at first and I still am when i try to squeeze in my prepregnancy clothes. I am giving myself another year to lose it all. OH and your belly looks a hot mess after giving birth. I still hate looking at my stomach...loose skin and covered in stretchmarks..ewwww. OH well its all worth it! Source(s): Mom of twin boys it all depends on you one sure way is to breast feed get an epidural if yer worried about pain stretch marks don't hurt some women lose the weight real quick some will never lose it all depends on how hard you try i'm back to my normal weight after 9 months, but i still have a little pooch of my stretched out skin on my belly and have stretch marks that are slowly fading. and my hips arent back to their correct position yet, they may never go back. it was all worth it though! my hubby loves me and all my pregnancy scars. don't be so worried, enjoy your pregnancy and your new babies. you want happy memories to look back on don't you? people are too worried about how their bodies look that they don't enjoy life to its fullest!!! trust me...i'm was one of them. i cried when i got my first stretch mark. my grandma told me, "do you think that little baby in you would want you to feel so bad for how he's changing your body? he would be thankful that you are taking such good care of him while he grows in you." after hearing that i had different views on my body! a body is a beautiful thing to be able to have babies. I am the 'sympathy weight' hubby... it is 13 years later and I am still trying to regain my body shape BUT she looks fantastic after about 3 months. Work on it and be proactive/preventive while you are pregnant... it makes a big difference! |
