Baby is 8 months and I still need maternity clothes. Getting me down so much. Please help.

[NewAgain]

So she was my 2nd baby. She was 10 pound 5 and I also carried a lot of amniotic fluid when pregnant so my bump was the size of a small country.

I have always had a fairly small size 10 frame with flat tummy and co-ordinating flat chest!

I really did not gain any weight when pregnant other than the massive bump so I am now left with a body which is still size 10 all over, but a tummy which is about a size 14-16. I really do still look about 5 months pregnant.

I have tried buying larger size clothes, but they are so big on me from the waist up, and from the hips down that they look ridiculous.

The only way I can get clothes to fit is if I stick to a size 10, but buy maternity stuff to accommodate my stomach

Hi Newagain what exercise are you doing? Even though you're a 10 elsewhere, your tummy must be where you carry fat so you need to burn some calories!
Over on the weight loss thread there's lots of people doing the 30 day shred.

you tried something like belly bandit?

I have a baby roughly the same age, and I actually did a pregnancy test the other day just to make sure that I wasn't!

I was doing really well on the diet and then let it slide and slide.

My tummy is far too big too (she is my third child).

Going to have to start on those tummy exercises aren't we!!

newagain are you exercising? and eating properly? I have managed to drop 3 stone of baby weight (ds2 is now 7 months), he was my 3rd baby and Ive found it difficult to lose. I have to train 4-5 times a week and eat sensibly.
I still have another stone to go but the end is in sight.
Like you Im still left with a tummy thats a size 12 compared to being an 8/10 everywhere else, am hoping this last bit will shift the belly.

Have a look at this site It is possible that your stomach muscles are still very seperated thus letting everything just hang out - this site has loads of info on fixing this. Sounds like it might be hat your problem is as you are not fat anywhere else. Hope this helps
