Mamas! Has your tummy skin returned to how it was before pregnancy?

Question

pregnancy?" /> 
I was down to my prepregnancy weight  a few months ago, but everything still didn’t act the same on my tummy (and arms). I’m thinking I should drink more water, but not sure how much that would help... I was about to start modeling prepregnancy (srsly. My bod was like 10/10 - then this dude *pts to husband* tsk! Lol jk 😜❤️) 
anyway! I tell my hubby I’m not sure it’s EVER going to be like it was before and he would understand that if he could sit in my skin for 2 secs, but he can’t - and he’s so stubborn! He thinks it will go back to normal and it’s my fault this how it is - I have no proof that it won’t, so I’m curious about yalls experiences. Thx guys! 🤘🏼🥰
PS My son is nearly 2 yo, so I’m feeling like the status of my belly skin now is what it’s going to be unless I do something drastic - looking fwd to advice/feedback!

Answer

Your husband sounds like a shallow asshole. He blames you for your stomach not being the way it was pre-child? You grew a human. It’s okay if it never looks the same, and he needs a reality check. 
I had a six pack before pregnancy. Now I have loose skin and stretch marks. I love that my body is strong and grew two humans. I don’t expect it to go back.

Answer

Your husband is being a dick!

Answer

Thx so much everyone for your input! Much appreciated!!

Answer

My loose skin never really went away after my first. I was at my pre-pregnancy weight by my 6 week appointment and dropped 10 more lbs a year later, but when my son was 2 I still had the loose skin. My second is 1 year old now and there’s more loose skin and I don’t imagine that’s going away either.
Definitely an asshole thing to say it’s your fault too.

Answer

I’m down to prepregnancy weight but definitely squishier. I don’t think it’s an elasticity thing for me. It’s just more fat. I think I’d have to get under my prepregnancy weight to every look the same.

Answer

I'm having baby number 6 in a few weeks. My stomache will never be the same. Ever. I got down to my lowest weight a year ago, 112 at 5'4" and still had excess skin. My only hope is a tummy tuck but I dunno about all that, my boobs are the bigger issue LOL. To me it is what it is though, I grew 6 humans so thats pretty cool.

Answer

The elasticity for mine went back to normal around 6-8 weeks with each of my pregnancies. But because of muscle separation and two prolapses from my first birth, I will never have a flat stomach again even though I tend to be underweight. I exercise a lot- cardio, core, and glutes. But until I get surgery to correct my prolapses (which I can't get until I'm finished having children), I will always have a slight bulge in my lower abdomen, below the belly button.
