What's a few stretch marks -- they're badges of honor!  And if you bf, you get a temporary "lift"!  (After baby's weaned, I recommend VS's Body by Victoria Ipex Wireless...puts 'em where they used to be, at about 1% the cost of surgery!)

The flab is the worst. And I procrastinate big time so I never get around to excersing. My fault I know, but still it'd be nice if after childbirth, they can include a tummy tuck. lol.

I have the pouch still, my babies were all big and used to have big stretchmarks, I used the stretchmark cream from Avon and it really helped, go to www.youravon.com/mscreeton and order yours today and much more.

i came home in a size 7 and was back in a 5,3 months later i am smaller now than i was before i got pregnant! i'm not as muscular, and i do have some stretch marks, nothing too bad. my hair fell out right after my dd was born and it's just now starting to grow back ( 10 months later).

Beaitfulxsoxo you have nothing to complain about.  anyone who is a size 5 or 3 has nothing that they should be able to complain about.  I would gladly give up hair that grows back then work out three times a day, 5-6 times a week and eat right and still am jsut as big as I was 7 months ago when my child was born...

My first child is 14 years of and my daughter is 11mths.  With my first I receive really bad stretch marks, but the weight was not an issue.  My stomach taken on an unique shape (for lack of better words) and I do not know what to do about it.  The weight and the ugly stomach...any suggestion(s)... how can you be sexy or feel attractive w/ this or that!      I was in the mall yesterday and someone I have not seen since I was pregnant, before saying hi called me fat... Not to mention they were not the smallest.. The issue is I feel that way, therefore I can not blow it off (I feel like I look bloated).  Help some helpful suggestion(s)!

Ugh, I have huge stretch marks and flabby gut. I absolutely hate it, after 2 c-sections and my hyustrectomy, which all were done through the same incision. It' hard for me to do stomach excercises, due to tearing, I have torn open stretch mrks on each sides of my stomsach. It is painful. So, I have given up trying to lose the stomach weight. I can hardly lifet anything and sometimes, the waist band irritates the stretchmarks and causes them to tear. I don't know what to do about it though.I also have a lot of scar tissues from the surgeries, on hips, butt, stomach and on my breast after a breast reduction. I look like a road map.

the little bit of belly fat that won't go away no matter what> I've lost 15 of the 25 post baby lbs but still its there and sooo annoying!

I lost the baby weight, but just have too much flabby skin on my belly.  It's weird... it's as if my skin really doesn't fit me anymore!  And since my youngest child is two, I'm guessing it's permanent.
