Mothers of three alert! Weight loss post natally

[codswallop]

My ds3 is 7.5 months and I stil have that circle shape on my tum where the bump was - it doesnt stick out or anything.

Will this just go like it did with the others? It seems to be taking longer. I am an average size 12/14 normally and am wearing normal clothes etc just have a few spare tyres....

always time for a new outfit!!

I've got the same prob! I'm the same size 12/14 as I was before i got preg and the same weight, but my tummy hasn't gone down by itself as I expected! I have started sit ups but a word of warning, my GP said you shouldn't do them until you're sure your pelvic floor is back in good shape. Apparantly as you tighten your tummy muscles it pushes everything down on your pelvic floor and could be quite nasty if their not tight! Don't know exactly what would happen but sounds a bit gruesome. maybe we should get one of those aquaflex thingies

My two children have left me the strangest of shapes . Bits of me range from a size 10 (under the bust) to a 16 (the bust) and it can be quite depressing, generally find I get away with size 14 clothes. I have a flappy nasty bit at the stomach too and although I do exercise classes 2 - 5 times a week plus tonnes of walking I haven't seen any significant changes for a while .

I have pilates tonight - cannot resume swimming with residual SPD which is complete pain as used to do a mile in 55 minutes or so.

What's the one-on-one like, pph?

It all seems to have gone back down (and a lot quicker than with dd1, probably on account of pilates) but still have have weird rubber ring effect. I reckon it's nature's way of keeping us monogamous - imagine revealing it to someone new..
