4 week postpardum twin belly photos... YIKES!!!!

September 06, 2008

I always promised that I would post photos after the girls were born... good or bad... well here they are. Okay, let me just say that I know things could be worse. I still think my belly looks terrible. The stretch marks are actually textured! Oh well... small price to pay for two healthy baby girls.

I still have about 8 lbs to lose and I am planning on doing laser strech mark removal. I think a good portion of that weight has be in my boobs... holy crap... I never knew my boobs would get this big!

Sam,

Your tummy looks fine, it's only been 4 weeks it will continue to go down, it just takes a minute, ok well more like a couple of months :)

September 06, 2008

Sam, let me tell you this, I hope that my belly looks that great after my twins are born!!!! Your stomach looks amazing!!! It really really does. If you do some searching on the net to see what some women have once they have twins you will see that you are truly blessed!!! You look amazing!!! Congrats. I hope you and the babies are doing great!

Thanks Liane... you're sweet! I know it could be worse. I think I just am dissapointed because I made it soooooo far w/ out stretch marks. They showed up around 37 weeks.... grrrrr! All in all I am truely blessed to have 2 healthy babies!!!!

You look great sweetie, and not a day goes by that Im thinking is Sam doing good. Im so glad to see a post from you finally. Any pics of the sweetpeas?

So glad that they are doing great and are healthy.

I think if you had 1 baby you would never have gotten stetchmarks, but honestly I hear that they do go away, for the most part. Some dont, but it does take time. I just started using body oil from Palmers with my cream @ 29weeks. Im hoping it helps, no stretch marks so far. Did you see all of yours before they were born? I never remember seeing them in your pics, but again you look great!!! So tiny! All is going to go great!

Sam- You do look good , 4 weeks out- and yes the stretch marks will get lighter- and your belly will continue to go down.. I am so glad the girls are doing well.. Can't wait to see pictures of them!

Sam...same with me regarding the timing of the stretch marks (they showed up only in the last couple of weeks) but are still hanging around, pretty hard core...and I'm 10 weeks post pardum. I'm just doing what I can exercise wise. The belly still has a way to go, as do the stretchies.

Sam how long did it take before you got your regular jeans on? Stretchmarks or no stretchmarks I think you look great!!!

September 08, 2008

Sam, seriously, you look great! I'm not just saying that either. The stretch marks are your badge of honor!!!

September 08, 2008

Sam- you look great! And its like I say when I feel myself starting to say a complaint- its ALL WELL WORTH IT! Just take a look at those beautiful girls of yours!

Thanks for being brave enough to share with us- we want more baby pics too! We can never get enough of those!

YOU LOOK GREAT! And that tummy will continue to flatten so dont worry!!!

Liane.. I can fit most of regular jeans as of about 2 weeks after the girls were born. The hardest part was that my jeans would rub my incision. My hips got wider so some of my old pants still don't fit.

Thank all for the support.

4 week postpardum twin belly photos?!?!

YOU LOOK GREAT SAM!!!!! (thank you for the awesome news,,, I hope mine looks anywhere close to yours afterwards) CONGRATS ON YOUR GIRLS ALSO!! :)

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but did you go through IVF also? and if you did, do you remember how the egg retrieval procedure felt? Was it really bad? and you mentioned incisions, did you have a c-section? Well regardless, look at your hips girl! (what hips!!??)

YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL!!

Take care Mommy! Best wishes always!

That is great to know Sam!!! I wondered how long it would take. I tried on a pair of my jeans last night and I can button it up under by belly but they are a little tight!! After trying them on I realized that I did gain some on my thighs and my butt!! Did your doctor tell you how long it would take for your uterus to go back to size with twins?

September 09, 2008

You are looking good Sam! Another few weeks and you will back into all of your clothes. I keep trying on differnt prepreggo clothes and hope I will be getting into them soon. I just don't know if my hips will ever fit into some of them again! :) take care and give your little ladies a hug for me!

September 09, 2008

good lord hun, that looks great! you still have shape and the stretch marks will deff fade with time!

You have a waist again and it looks great!!!

September 09, 2008

Sam...you look really great! I wish I can look like that after having twins...you kidding?!?!?

As far as stretch marks are concerned, How many women out there had twins and have zero stretch marks?

It's a small price to pay for two beauties!

Hope things are going smoothly with your twins!
