Took this pic 4 days postpartum, had my twins on July 30th. This is my 3rd pregnancy, had a c section. I'm surprised I'm down to 134lbs. & no stretch marks, i really thought I would have some at least this time, I got lucky!!

Thank you, when I was pregnant with the twins & I would see other moms post partum pics, I was like I doubt I'll lose the weight that quick this time since I'm having twins. I just got lucky.

Omg you look great! May I ask how much weight did you gain and if the twins were your 1st pregnancy?

Me

Melinda • Aug 13, 2015
Wasn't concerned. Probably didn't gain as much as my others because I was working & on my feet a lot, plus having two kids at home to keep me busy. I gained 30 & 35 with my other two.

Thank you, the twins were my 3rd pregnancy, I gained about 27 lbs. I had them at 33 weeks, it's weird because I gained less weight with them then I did with my other two pregnancies, that were also singleton pregnancies. I was always worried about not gaining enough weight w/the twins, but the dr

Section, & I heard sometimes it takes longer to lose the weight after a c section. All I have left it a little swelling were the incision is, I was very surprised I didn't get any stretch marks. I heard sometimes it runs in your genes, maybe that's it, cause I don't work out ever.

Lol. Thank you. Honestly I don't know, same thing happened with my other two pregnancies, I was back down to my prepregnancy weight right after, both of those were vaginally births, I thought for sure I wouldn't go back down that quick this time because one I was having twins, & 2 because I had a c

Omg you look great!!! I'm almost 3 months postpartum and still have a belly. I bounced back quick after my daughter, but these boys definitely did damage. I am terribly jealous lol. I'm very happy for you though!! How are the babies?

Two haven't met their baby brother & sister, their in a level III NICU, only me & Zach my SO are allowed to visit. They don't allow other visitors right now do to risk of infection. So hopefully they'll be able to meet them soon!!

Should be for just have a c section & all that. My feet & ankles were so swollen, their just barely starting to go back to normal. Were hoping the babies can come home soon, their doing great & just had the feeding tubes taken out, they said shouldn't be too long before they can come home. My other

I've heard with vaginal births that most bounce back quickly, I did with my vaginal births also. I didn't think I would this time since I had a c section, but surprisingly I did. I still have some swelling around the incision, & it still hurts & is sore. The doctor said I'm on my feet more than I

That's weird, haven't heard of ppl getting them after they have their baby/babies. I'm 4 weeks postpartum now, I haven't gotten any still, so far.
