What happened to your body shape after you gave birth? This is my second pregnancy and i was lucky enough to pretty much return to my pre shape last time. However this time I'm bigger and older. My boobs/belly look like they'll never return!!! Is there hope?x

I looked exactly the same after my first pregnancy, thinner so slightly flatter stomach and thankfully less full boobs once I'd gotten past the year mark with breastfeeding, my new boobs fit into shirts and shirt dresses much better!

Pregnant with dc2 now, wider already so have hips for the first time ever. But I'm the same shape as last time so hopefully will go back to normal again.

Thanks Foggy, good to hear about your outcome. I seem to be the same shape/bump shape.x

My body looked exactly the same post DC1 (not saying I had the perfect tum to begin with, but it went back to how it looked before pregnancy!).
I'm now 9 months post partum with DC2. Second time round the skin on my tummy is definitely looser, though not too bad. It looks normal enough but if I rub cream into it you can see it wrinkling up a bit. My bump measured about the same in both pregnancies and I didn't get stretch marks in either one.
The rest of me looks roughly the same, though I look slightly bigger in the hips and thighs. Just need to lose that extra half stone I'm clinging onto!

I look about the same as before - like a bin bag full of mayo.
