Postpartum tummy encouragement?

Question

I am 33 weeks tomorrow and am really nervous about how my body will look after baby. After all I'm only 19 and really want to have a nice body again. I currently have quite a few stretch marks on my thighs and butt. And I can see some tummy stretch marks coming in now. My starting weight was 145 I am now 175 and am 5'6. I need some encouragement! Any progress pics or before and after pics would be amazing. Or if you have the same body weight and height of me how did you body turn out? Just help please! Thanks!

Answer

Before, with baby #2
After baby #2

Answer

After having my second baby, I started working out when the doc said it was ok. I started very light and went easy on myself at first and slowly made it harder as time went by. I started at 160, and after about 6 months I was down to 120. Lifting weights 5-6 days a week and eating fairly clean is what did it for me. I plan to do the same after this one. I was in the best shape of my life after baby #2 and I miss it!!

Answer

This is me at about 36 weeks pregnant, 1 week pp, and 19 weeks pp

Answer

Baby #1 for me.... started working out about 7 weeks postpartum and was also breastfeeding which helped A TON! Within days, I had dropped down below my pre pregnancy weight and fit into my regular clothes, HOWEVER, I was not tone at all.

40 weeks pregnant

Probably about 1 month to 1.5 months postpartum on the left. 3 months postpartum on the right. Abs for the first time in my life!

Answer

I'm a ftm mom, 25 y/o. Gave birth on Oct. 5. My baby is 11 days old which makes me 11 days pp. I gained 25 pounds during my pregnancy & at 3 days pp I curiously weighed myself & I lost 5 pounds. After several more days of breastfeeding alone I weighed myself again & I had lost a total of 20 pounds. It's cold where I live so I'm waiting til I'm healed 95-100% & til I go running. But everything is looking great. Everyone keeps asking if I really just had a baby... you'll be fine. You're young & you sound like you have a desire to get back your pre-pregnancy body. And they say everyone bounces back nicely after their first.

Answer

40 wks pregnant to 3 months pp
