Hi to all the mummies
Going out of my mind, since having my 9 month old in November with weight issues!
Info wise, I have a 10 year old, got pregnant and gave birth at 22 which is youngish, and no word of a lie put on my size 10 jeans an hour after birth, stomach just pinged back!!!
Now ten years on after giving birth again, I've been left with a soft, bulge stomach. I can only describe it as the lower bit sticking out and sagging down. I'm back to size 10. (Although some of my dresses don't fit as well as they used to) I've lost weight in my boobs so they're saggy which I'm not complaining about as I breastfed this time for 5 months. But I'm just so down about the lower half of my body,
There's kind of extra skin around the hip area that squishes out, kind of like love handles but an extra lump!!
Now I understand I wouldn't be able to get back my figure as easy as last time. But I'm trying hard by doing loads of walking, doing a bit of kettlebell and have been doing HIIT workouts since 6 weeks postpartum;
I just need to know can it just be extra skin? Will it ever disappear? Is there any way to get rid of it?
It's just a lot of my clothes don't fit me properly cos of this new bulgy skin that makes it look like I've got two waists, I obviously don't wanna have to buy a new wardrobe. Can anyone give any advice?
I know I shouldn't complain- I don't even have any stress marks and I'm back in size 10 but it's just this skin I can feel it constantly and it's so depressing, doesn't help I was a gymnast from the age of 7 til 15 then started as a basketball coach later on. I'm used to having taut skin.
In some way would have been better if I had his after my first pregnancy cos then at least I could say well it's because I've had a baby but after my first if anything my skin was even toned and taut as ever!!!
Just want to know if there's nothing I can do about it just accept it
