Is It Just Me?

Last Year I Lost a Bit Of Weight & Went From a Size 12 To An 8. But I Was 3 Weeks Preggers and Had No Idea So Eventually The Weight Came Backl On. Anyways, After Birth I Went Straight Back To a 12 and Fitted Back Into My Old Clothes BUT Yesterday I Was Looking At Myself In The Mirror For The First Time Since Getting Preggers and OMG.. My Arse,Thighs & Hips are Huge! Honestly.

So I Was Just Wondering If Your Shape Actually Changes During Pregnancy? Im In The Same Clothes But Am Deffo Not The Same Shape As Before

ALSO... When I Used To Diet Before The Weight Would Fall Off But Iv Been At It For a Month Now & Have Only Shifted 7lbs.. Is It Normal To Lose Weight Slower Than Pre-Pregnancy etc?

But Yesterday I Got Hold Of One Of Those Measuring Tape Things That You Use To Check Your Waist,Bust,Hips Etc and According To The Measurments It Says I Measure a Size 16, But All My Clothes Are 12.

Im 2 Stone Over What I Want To Be Aswell & By The Speed Of Things Im Still Going To Be In a Years Time Oh Well xx

I think your shape has changed because of your pelvis widening in preperarion for the birth or something.Not sure if it goes back to normal...I'm sure it does eventually!

I'm the same,I used to have no curves at all and now I'm all hips and boobs Im also 9.5 stone,I used to be 7 1/2 to 8 but no diet for me yet because of b/f...

plus your metabolism is probs all messed up from pregnancy..so 7lbs in a month sounds fantastic to me...I'd have no hope of shifting that...you're doing great

i was underweight b4 i got preg. i gained loads in pregnancy but it fell off really easily, altho im size 8 now not underweight any more. but my shape is different my arms and legs skinnier but bellys still fat

I think even if you lose all the weight after having a baby your shape is bound to be different cos of the way it's been stretched and stuff.

After I had Josh I never lost any of the weight and I was a completely different shape too. After Ryan I lost the weight really quickly, plus an extra stone, but I still look nothing like I did before having kids

I find it amazing that some people have babies and go back to exactly how they were before

I was a comfy 12 before I got pregnant with my 1st and I gained 4stone when I was pregnant I lost all the weight in about 4 months and was the exact same weight as before but none of my old clothes would fasten round the waist. It was about 2 inches bigger than before I was pg and it never went back down

i think your shape definately changes. before i got pregnant with my dd1 i was straight up n down no boob no arse no hips etc and a size 8, i did put on 4 stone and went up 4 dress sizes. it took me ages to shift the weight (about 2/3 yrs) and i only got down to a size 12 because i now have hips lol, i dont think i will ever get bk into a size 8 because my hips are just too wide. the weight did come off really slow for me too after dd1 but thankfully its coming off quicker this time round as i lost over a stone in 10 weeks and i have had 3 weeks off at chrimbo lol.

dont worry hun you will get there. good luck!
