Aww I found my tummy took way longer to go down after number 2 but it does get there.

Aww Andie Ben (yes the father of my children) said the same thing the day I came home from hospital ]]> Fri, 22 Feb 2008 20:28:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14648&PID=309265&title=how-much-longer#309265 <![CDATA[How much longer? : He had a mortified look on his...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14648&PID=308670&title=how-much-longer#308670 Author: aimeejoy

Aw what a silly man he was!  Idiot.  And for the record - you didn't tub out at all!  This bump was alllllllll baby on you!  And it's such early days for it to be shrunk away, but it'll get there for sure.

GandT on the topic of bras, I have always wondered why some maternity labels advertise that this preggy dress is suitable for BFing....most people are not BFing when they are that pregnant and who would buy a dress to wear just for a few weeks after .....it would look like a sack. I know my wedding dress looked amazing on me pregnant (if I may say so myself) but I tried it on the other day and YUK!!!! it made me look pregnant in an unflattering way.]]> Thu, 21 Feb 2008 13:47:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14648&PID=308154&title=how-much-longer#308154 <![CDATA[How much longer? : My boy was born 14 months ago...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14648&PID=308151&title=how-much-longer#308151 Author: ooEvaoo

My tummy is still kinda hard and round (but much much smaller) not all marshmellow saggy yet. And it was my neighbour who asked, stupid man. And he had seen me around recently looking huge. Silly males...

I had an appt at the maternity today and my GP said that happened to her after her second and she just burst into tears. And one of the midsives said she started admitting a large lady who arrived on the ward huffing and puffing a bit - turned out it was someones mum visiting! ]]> Wed, 20 Feb 2008 19:06:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14648&PID=307611&title=how-much-longer#307611 <![CDATA[How much longer? : Kellz wrote:I had that problem...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14648&PID=307605&title=how-much-longer#307605 Author: caraMel

LOL *sigh* i STILL get the odd days where I'm bloated and look 7 months preggy! I had a kid ask me if 'it' was a boy or girl only two months ago...so disheartening!

I'm only 60kg as well, just carry my extra 4kg in my tummy....and I'm a shorty so that doesn't help!

yep I went shopping for a maternity bra a few weeks back and the lady started going on about leaving room in the cup for when my milk came in

The worst thing was I'd just got out of my maternity jeans that day and was super stoked.

I only really put weight on around my belly and it's taken ages to go down (well seems like ages)

Yep, I remember looking down at my great big empty sack of a belly and despairing. My DH did the Homer test (he picked up my belly then dropped it to see how long it would jiggle. I bought maternity tops after DD was born (I didn't mind having tight tops around my pregnancy belly but couldn't stand them with my post-baby belly).

It does shrink eventually and, as Nikki, said in the meantime just enjoy the early days. Remember it was your amazing body that gave life to your precious baby, it deserves to be appreciated for that, no matter what size or shape it is.]]> Wed, 20 Feb 2008 15:00:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14648&PID=307405&title=how-much-longer#307405 <![CDATA[How much longer? : Oh yes, marshbellow saggy belly....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14648&PID=307394&title=how-much-longer#307394 Author: nikkitheknitter

Oh yes, marshbellow saggy belly. Had that! It deflates though remember?

I didn't get asked... but that was because I hermitised myself in my house. haha

A girl I worked with got asked when her baby was 4 days old. She burst into tears.

Oh I so know what you mean... don't worry give your body time to get things back where they are supposed to be.

Some people are just plain rude. You could always ignore the question and/or embarass them back.

I'm still trying to find my pre baby tummy, I guess it depends on the person.
