*sigh* I’m 7 months pp and I was just staring at my bare belly in the mirror tonight in complete disgust! Not only do I have to deal with this loose flap of skin at the bottom of my stomach that just about hangs to my knees (had a c-section) the top half of my stomach looks bloated thus making me still look 4, 5 months pregnant. Its weird because a few months after I had the baby ppl were giving me glowing compliments “Oh my goodness you just had a baby? Wow! You look great!”, I felt great too! Somehow the weight has crept back on and has gone to my stomach and arms!

Im 41 and 21 years and 7 months post preg!!! I have 2 children and 2 grandchildren! Almost everyday I get when are you due, havent you had that baby yet, or is it a boy or a girl!!!! Im so fed up with it I could SCREAM!!! Im fairly tall and overweight I admit (all my weight in front) but people should just learn to keep there big mouths shut! Unless you know someone and know for a fact the person is pregnant then you dont ever ask a woman such a personal ??? One of these days I’m going to tell the next person who make a remark that I just lost my baby and make them feel so bad for even asking and I wont care at all how they feel cause obviously they dont care about my feelings!

Nicole…. to answer your question about clothes to wear, I find that if you wear something with an empire waist (meaning something that pleats right under where your breasts are, it allows room for your belly to hide in. I always try to wear a tummy control waist cincher when I wear anything! Most waist cinchers have the bone ribbing and sometimes that can hurt a bit…. but I deal with it so that I won’t get any “when are you due” comments. I know it sounds so vain, and so many people say that we should be proud of what our bodies have accomplished (which I am) I just want to feel good about my appearance at the same time! Oh another fabulous kind of top to wear is the three tiered top. Top part is the shortest, then under that is a bit longer, then under that is the longest. I don’t know if I described it correctly, but I LOVE that kind of top because it hides everything and you don’t have to wear any kind of tummy control. Marshalls and TJ Maxx has a ton of that kind of stuff. It is mostly spring and summer kind of wear, but fall and winter is upon us so we can hide under some fabulous bulky sweaters and leggings! Hallelujah!!!!

Thanks so much for writing this! I’ve had 4 kids by c-section and still look pregnant many months after #4. It cuts deep when someone asks when my baby’s due. What clothes do people like to deal with this? Any brands that look particularly tasteful?

I do not get asked if I am pregnant because I have found clothes that hide my stomach and I wear leggings that have tummy control. I have a very lean body but a bloated looking belly! It looks like I am at least 4 months pregnant. I have had 3 kids, ages 7, 4, and 1. I am also about to turn 45….. after my first child I lost my belly right away! After my second, which I had at 40 I just lost my tone abs… then #3 shot it all to hell. I know that if someone asks me if I am pregnant I will cry! I want to do the surgery, but am really scared if something were to happen! I have 3 kids to think about, and if anything happened to me because of vanity, it would be awful. I am trying to accept it. I have a few friends that are back to their fabulous selves, even after having twins… so not fair!!!!!!

My youngest is 2 1/2 and I look pregnant….. I was recently diagnosed with having an abdominal hernia. In late february I had it repaired. I was under the impression that after the surgery I would lose this belly……NOT!! I still hate the way I look. I wear size 5 jeans and extra large shirt. Is that right? I need some help. I had a guy HIt on me at work because he is”attracted to pregnant women”. Listen 2 me world….I’M NOT PREGNANT!!!

I get asked all the time! I still look 5 months pregnant after 18 months. I’ve only had 1 child and my muscles stretched so much they never went back. I have no confidence and my posture and back are hideous! I hate people who stare.

I am 50 years old and get asked all the time when I am due. While I’ll take the compliment of looking young enough to have a baby, on the other hand I am usually in tears after someone asks. I’ve always had a bit of a belly, but as I get older it gets bigger and bigger. Nothing else on my body is fat, I have very skinny legs and arms. I have tried everything to get rid of it. Went to several different docs and they can’t figure it out. It is so embarrassing. I really hate leaving the house anymore and forget about trying to find clothes to fit. My belly is probably a size 14 and my butt and legs are like a size 2. I look so abnormal. I want to win the lottery too so I can get this massive thing under cut off!!!!!! I tell people I have A.O.F. Syndrome (which stands for ass on front). I had to make up a name for it.

Ive been geting so depressed about my tummy. Its so so embarassing when people ask me when my baby is due or how far gone am i. Im a size 10 and 5ft 8 so my weight isnt the issue. I have a daughter of 7 and a son of 2 and to be honest my stomach hasnt been right since the birth of my little girl 7 years ago! My arms and legs are skinny so it makes it far worse as if i was fatter all over then my stomach would probably blen in with the rest of me. I would LOVE to have surgery but i dont have the cash so i guess i will just have to suffer till i win the lottery or something!!!
I used to be really confident and wear a bikini on the beach but now i try everything to try to hide away. Wish there was something i could do from a sad and fed up mum Zarah x
