Baggy skin

[lella]

Ok, my skin on my tummy has been really stretched. im losing weight very slowly but its just not springing back. my baby is 13 weeks old. Has anyone else got this problem. i look like I should be on 10 years younger bikini special, its that wrinkley.

Sounds like mine

Mines getting better as I lose weight though. It'll never go away completely but Im happy with how its going

Mine is truly disgusting to look at! Its really saggy and if I tense my stomach it looks even worse. Kate is 10 months old now so I dont see it getting any better. I am going to ask (seriously) for a tummy tuck when I am finished having babies. I did put on a lot of weight (4 stone) and Kate was 9lb which is pretty big. I feel like I have been unlucky with the skin stretching thing though. I have lost all that weight now too and TBH it looks worse the more I lose - maybe I should get really fat then, eh?! At least you are not alone!

Ryan was 9lb too and I was HUGE A tummy tuck is something I considered too but after my first consultation I realised I only want to do that as a last resort. Im aiming to lose around 3 stone and see what its like then, if Im not happy with it then I may consider surgery

When people have just had a baby they're supposed to be elated, all I remember in the hospital is going for my first shower after I had him and I just looked at my body in the mirror and I broke down, I cried and cried and cried. I even sent Daniel home cos I told him once he saw what I looked like he would leave me.

Luckily after a few weeks it got better but Im still not 100% happy with how I look. I do feel loads better since I started losing weight though, I went shopping yesterday and managed to get everything in a size 12 instead of a 14

When Im out I always look at other mummies to see what their figures are like and that makes me feel better cos I know Im not alone. Most of them aint perfect and I think thats alright

my belly is sooooooo saggy it's just horrific. It went saggy after Lydia, and I never managed to get it back to normal, and now it's a zillion times worse.
My mam says I'm going to have to get my skin cut off
