plus sized mamas

how was your recovery? i feel like its hard to get a good undestanding from women who didnt previously have a tummy. did you go back to your normal pudge or was it completely different post partum? feel free to post pics lol. i feel like im walking into the twilight zone because i gave no idea what to expect. ive only gained 6 pounds and im almost 32 weeks. so im sure ill return to my normal weight but im hoping my pregnant belly doesnt linger
