Stretch marks on my butt and saggy boobs. Fortunately the breast implants/lift took care of one of those problems. Unfortunately, now I can't wear a thong bikini in public - don't wanna scare anybody!
I can't imagine you looking too bad in any type of bathing suite, TT. You take too good care of yourself!
This thread has taken on a life of it's own! You moms are great for sharing all this stuff. I was only curious. Vanity was not the reason I never had children. And I want to add, that I think pregnant women are beautiful, and something about them is so amazing to look at. Those big expanding tummies...

I know it's not this way for all women, but I LOVED being pregnant. I had no issues at all. It was just a really wonderful 9 (or so) months.
I don't have children, but the mummies here are so nice. I feel so much safer hanging out in the "Parenting" section of the forum as opposed to the "Relationship" or "Health and Wellness" sections, where people are sometimes hostile. I feel like I've found a home here.
I gained a whopping 50 lbs with my first full tem baby and 38 lbs with my daughter who was born at 7 1/2 months. I breast fed them both which my Dr told me helps get those tummy muscles toned back into shape (that is not why I breast fed though). Just taking care of two babies 14 months apart helped I'm sure with the weight going off. I was lucky I didn't get any stretch marks and my breasts did not sag. I think because they were not that big to begin with. It took about 4 months to get into my regular size clothes. I was thin when I first got pregnant so the 50 lbs didn't bother my Dr. and food just tasted so darn good for the first time. I liked food before, of course, but being pregnant made food taste "really" good.
I gained almost 50 pounds but it was all in my belly (I am 5'3" and had a 24" baby girl) and I put on my pre pregnancy pants when leaving the birthing center.
I have no stretch marks, no sagging, so scars. I still walked, worked out, and ate healthy during my pregnancy and had a short birth. I still work out and eat well and childbirth did not effect my body negatively at all.
I just want to add that I also agree that having a baby is not for everyone but for me it was the happiest time of my life!!! I throughly loved every minute of it!!
I've never been preggers (no babies just yet thank you) but I'm worried that I'll be dragging my boobs around on the floor after I do have a baby. My boobs are huge, they've just always been that way and I wish they were a lot smaller. I don't even want to think what will happen to them if I got pregnant in the future
Especially if I was older as well just to add to the issue.
After having a c-section (almost 10 years ago already), my lower tummy could definetly use a lift. lol.
