Did your bum return to its normal pre preg size?

[SpawningSalmon]

I am 18 weeks pregnant with my second baby and could tell by my clothes and general feel of my bum that it was growing. Tonight as I was getting into the bath I made the horrifying mistake of looking at it in the mirror.

I did not recognise my own bum! It looked more like my Mum's bum which even as a child I knew was not the finest specimen.

This did not occur with DD1. I am scared it will never return to its former glory. Please reassure me that all is not lost.

Thanks Zara, you're post has really reassured me!
I've put on a lot but hoping that being an active mum, BF (hopefully) & upping protein/less carbs will help shift the weight after.

Mine vanished.

lastonedancing and as an additional cheerful thought, I lost all of that weight despite not breastfeeding DS! It was an additional thing I beat myself up about initally (as well as feeling like a failure for not being able to bf) because I saw friends with eg 6 months old who had lost lots of weight and put it all down to bf, and I fretted that I was therefore doomed to never slim down. But then I did! Hurrah!

My arse was so big (and the rest of me) when I was pregnant that DH and I were actually not physically capable of having sex. Not that I felt like it much, but it was pretty depressing to weigh more than my 6ft 1, strapping muscular husband!

reminds self next time not to eat two eggs, toast, yoghurt, pint of milk and and a banana for breakfast every day

Im curious to know has anyone who ended up with the mom butt after or during pregnancy get thier butt back eventually. If it did come back did you have to kill yourself in the gym doing so or did it come back on its on due to genetics....I am soo disgusted with my saggy soft mom butt!! Someone please enlighten me!!
