what was your stomach like after birth?

Question

I know this can be a sensitive topic. Im a ftm carrying twins and was wondering if anyone would like to share w me what tummys are like after labor? Pics are welcome also if you just want ro describe it its fine. I just want to mentally prepare.

Answer

About an hour after birth, you couldn't tell I even had a baby. My belly went back to being flat, even after I gained 60 pounds during pregnancy. However, when laying on my back, it was very squishy feeling, even though it was flat

Answer

I had a singleton. My tummy was jiggly. It's going to look like you're still pregnant so be prepared. But after a few days/weeks you'll shrink back down.

Answer

Immediately after birth my belly looked the same but drooped a bunch. Then as I lost the weight i now have a 'mothers apron' saggy part of skin that hangs at the bottom. Even pregnant with baby #2 I still have the loose skin at the bottom. But everyone is different. Depends on how well you skin bounces back and your age. And your weight pre pregnancy and your activity level after.

Answer

I think it'll depend on if you have a csection or not. I had a belly just after baby was born vaginally. Looked about 6 months but it was real squishy and a little tender. It went down significantly each day following birth and by my 6 week appointment it was gone. My Dr said I didn't even look like I'd ever been pregnant. I still had a tiny pouch from weak stomach muscles but could only tell when I was completely naked. 
My SIL had a csection and had a belly for quite some time. It was from a lot of gas and stuff too but by 6 months her belly was back to normal.

Answer

Right After i had my son, my tummy was jiggly  and kinda like i was 8 months pregnant,with bright red stretch marks..  with in 6 weeks it went down to just a jiggly mum apron- i even had the fold over my pants- after about 6 months i still had the jiggle but the size had reduced a lot at 1 year PP i didnt have the tummy fold over my pants but a slight fold still, and less jiggly but i could suck my tummy in and looked how i did pre pregnancy, i didnt do any work outs as i wanted to see how long it would take to go down on its own but at 1 year PP is when it stopped deflating i tried to do exercise but had wicked cramps and i found out i was pregnant again i have recently gotten a new phone so i dont have any photos on my new phone.
