This is purely out of curiosity that I ask, but what does your bump feel like after giving birth?
I am only 5'2 and have a very tight, solid bump, and being completely honest I had never expected it to feel so hard. I thought it would feel more cushioned and squidgy. So I'm therefore curious to know what it will feel like after birth (although I'll find out for myself in a couple of weeks but it's still something I'm wondering). I know I will still have a bump for a while, and this post has nothing to do with getting my figure back or anything like that, I just am curious to know how my stomach area will feel as soon as it's empty of a baby.
Will it still feel heavy? Will it still be quite firm or more like poking a jelly?! Will I be able to lay on my side without it feeling like I'm laying on concrete?! Will I feel I have use of my stomach muscles again or does that come much later? That sort of thing...
Thank you!
