A bit over 11 months ago I had my twins! I got pregnant the first time I tried. I had a b/g twins on May 17, 2007. Almost a year later and still trying to loose the weight. My body deformed. I am only 24. Young and didn’t know my body will turn this ugly. I never really thought of how a body of a mothers look after giving birth. Now, I know. I lost most of the weight from everywhere else, but most is still on my belly. My mother says I’m not as big as before, but I still feel huge. All my clothes fit nice except my belly. I have to buy 1-2 sizes bigger to fit my belly, yet my pants are big everywhere else! I had a hard time accepting this “body” I was devastated but I started accepting this body that feed and nourished my twins for 38 weeks!

Your body has done an excellent job, be proud.

Give your body a chance. It literally carried twice as many kids as ours did! It needs time to bounce back…
Congrats on your little munchkins. They are grateful for any sacrifices your body has endured.

I had twins in Sep ‘07. I am 37. I know how you feel.
You’re still young — give yourself some time. Try and get out for some ‘me’ time…. And when you feel like it’s not worth it, check out the babies when they’re sleeping and know that YOU are the MAMA! Those came from YOU! You are beautiful and did, not only something that no man could ever do, but something that very few women do! TWO at ONCE!!!

You have exactly the same body shape as me! I know exactly how you feel.
I only had a single baby but everyone, inlcuding my midwife, was sure I was carrying more than one in there! I carried sooo big!
