Will my tummy return to normal?

Question

Super vain question, I know. I’ve been told I’m “all belly” and haven’t gotten stretch marks. I still have 2 weeks until induction, so maybe I will, who knows.
But is there any way to tell if my tummy will go back to normal after, or does everyone end up with that loose ponch of skin? Is there any way to tell?
I was fairly fit before and plan to get back into a routine as soon as I can.

Answer

Thank you all for your replies 😊 seems like as long as I don’t have a C section I should be okay 🤞🏼
I don’t know what happened with mom as she hasn’t been with us for a while but I don’t even recall her tummy looking anything but taught.

Answer

Mine mostly went back by first 2, just a little bit of squishiness. It took awhile though. My 3rd was a c section and an entirely different story. I have this weird flap of skin that hangs over my incision that 3 drs told me just happens to some c sections and can only be corrected by plastic surgery. 4 years later, it didn't get any better

Answer

Skin elasticity is genetic, so ask your mom what happened to her. I was all belly and returned to normal with no loose skin and my mom was the same way.

Answer

I was all belly with no stretch marks and my belly was back to normal (aside from the uterus shrinking more) before we even left the hospital. This is blurry but this is the best picture I have.
