would love to share my flabby, saggy, wrinkly belly with the world. :) I recently gave birth to twins and my belly will never be the same.
Here’s a brief background story:
My oldest child is 3 1/2 now and was born vaginally in the hospital. Gained 50 lbs in pregnancy and lost it all immediately after birth.
My second child was born via c-section after risking out of our planned homebirth. He weighed just over 11 lbs at birth. Gained 50 lbs and lost 40 of it within days of birth and then 15 more within 3-4 months.
My third pregnancy was shocking… we were expecting twins! I gained 80 lbs and the girls were 7 lbs, 6 oz each. I lost 65 lbs in less than a week after birth. 2 months later I still have 15 to go…. I never got any stretch marks with the first 2 children but the twin pregnancy really made me look wrinkly and deflated. I have a huge flap of extra skin that hangs over my c-section scar.
My twins’ birth story is here:
Twin HBAC
if anyone is interested.
3 months after c-section w/ Baby #2
1 year after c-section (Baby #2)
39 weeks pregnant with twins
2 months after birth of twins (HBAC!)
What an amazing birth, what an amazing body to carry those twins! Thanks for sharing!
