I can fit into my bigger cords, but my jeans aren't keen on my thighs!!!

Oh, sorry, Fs Blush

(I'll keep an eye out for one for you! The ones that are flabby and crepey aren't going to be flashing it though, are they Grin)

No DG I agree with you - see my post below. And I remember when DS was born in February and there was snow on the ground I really felt the cold.

My DDs go about like that all the time so I don't think twice about it any more!

Oh yes JanH I did that when I was your DD's age - and especially at night when I had a bit of alcohol in me to keep me warm. But when I had just had DS I was so cold - lost all that lovely padding from my stomach.

SoupDragon · 15/03/2006 12:51

I lost all the weight from being pregnant with DD within a fortnight.

Mind you, my tummy is most definitely not for public display!! It has to be tucked down in my trousers.

Lucycat · 15/03/2006 12:52

My great aunt would have s fit if she saw her flashing her belly - 'your kidneys will catch cold - nothing to protect all your internal organs' then again she was born in 1900! flashing one's belly was not de rigeur in the 1920's!!

GDG · 15/03/2006 12:53

LOL at 'it has to be tucked down in my trousers' - omg am peeing myself laughing!!

Boopert · 15/03/2006 12:57

After ds1 it took a year to get back into my jeans! And then as soon as i did, i got pg again!!! And then lost weight for my wedding, looked lovely, then got pg AGAIN!!!! So this time i am staying fat. Obviously being slim gets me pg.....

Tinker · 15/03/2006 13:25

I was in my jeans after 10 days as well - did have to pull my tummy in a bit but...

spacecadet · 15/03/2006 13:28

ive got to confess that 8 days after having dd1, i left the hospital in a crop top, but i was only 18!
after having dd2 18 months ago, i left the hospital in my maternity trousers!

SoupDragon · 15/03/2006 13:28

GDG, it's that or a muffin top :o

starlover · 15/03/2006 13:29

i know someone like that... had a 10lb baby and was back to normal a few days after.

it's all to do with how good your stomach muscles are BEFORE you get pg/have baby. My friend is a dancer so was very toned and had good tumym muscles.. thus they went back to normal sooner

nulnulcat · 15/03/2006 13:44

i went to the gym through most of my pregnancy so my stomach muscles were toned to start with left hospital in my size 10 jeans and was thinner than i was before by the time she was 10 days old i was breast feeding and the weight just fell off. i know i was lucky but its not an age thing i was 32 but the only give away i had just had a baby was the huge leaky boobs. dont think she intended to flash her stomach off, i have a similar track suit and the top always rides up flashing your middle particularly if she had been bending over getting car seat out of car

ggglimpopo · 15/03/2006 13:46

I was like that after number one. After number five was a different matter......Shock

Enid · 15/03/2006 13:51

isn't it a belt?

TwoIfBySea · 15/03/2006 20:53

One of my friends is a Envy size 8/10 and she almost immediately lost her tummy after dd2 arrived. I know she didn't have a mend it like Beckham or anything.

She is just lucky.

Sob.

I still have a baby belly 4 years on!

CaptainCavemansMummy · 15/03/2006 21:01

Not to be recommended but I was having such bad panic attacks that I ate very little for the first 5 days of ds's life - coupled with bfing and being knackered, meant I was back in my normal clothes by the time I left hospital.

threelittlebabies · 15/03/2006 21:32

Oh Nooo, that has depressed me. I don't look like that 6 months later ShockSad

Rhubarb · 15/03/2006 21:35

Is that her belly hanging out from under her coat?

schnapps · 15/03/2006 21:50

I'm sure that's not bare flesh we can see. It looks more like a belt or a t-shirt hanging down from under her top. So, she could actually have a bit of flab underneath the baggy tracksuit and big coat.
There, does that make eveyone feel better ? Grin

Eve2005 · 15/03/2006 21:53

i was a size 8 pre baby and was wearing a t-shirt that didn't quite hit my jeans a week after birth, more to do with the fact that dd had spit up on every other t-shirt i owned and hadn't dug out the washing machine yet! wasn't hanging out though, stretchy skin kinda popped back after birth, just a size bigger all over
