ITS HAPPENED! lol...

lol Deb, not if you get a phil and teds buggy - am not being corny - it seriously helped me SOOO much. I would have never been able to do anything had i not had it. It is alittle pricey however so not for everyone - but you can get them on trademe for an ok price.

Caramel - I don't think many of us get used to the saggy boobs and flabby tummy. - most women aren't happy with their bodies anyway, and after being preg - it just gets worse i spose - doesn't matter what size you are.

When i was a nanny, i had a few half days off a week - and i would spend that time baking all sorts of yummy treats, but since i was at home alone, and bored, i would usually end up EATING a fair amount of that baking myself... while reading, or on the computer, or whatever. I went up to 80 kilos, which for me was large as i am quite short. somehow, despite doing nothing different it all started falling of me once i started nursing study - and i was down to 55 when i found out i was preg. gained 9 kilos while preg. after i had paris it took a while to start to shift the weight - but after a few months, it just fell off me despite me being at home and eating a heap again when i was bored. - when i found out i was preg with Ayja, i had got down to 51 kilos, and was seriously looking terrible, and wanting to GAIN, everyone was going on and on at me about how bad i looked and i felt ick cos it wan't like i was deliberately doing it! now i don't know what i am. i didn't weigh all thru my preg, nor didi iafter i had Ayja, and still have no idea.

Sometimes i wonder but mainly i just know i'm an ok size.. (apart from my flabby tummy, and thighs) i guess what i'm trying to say is no matter what size you are, being a mum comes with even more consciouness that your body isn't what it used to be.

Hi Holly,

I'm guessing you tried to upload a photo into your post? For it to show up you need to upload it to a photo hosting website somewhere on the internet, there are heaps out there, but a really common one is Photobucket. Once you have an account (free) and have put up the photos you want, it should provide you with a series of links to help you share them etc. To make your pics show up in posts here, you need the link with the 'square' brackets, like this --> [ ... ]

Good luck !
