almost 3 months post partumn and tummy is still HUGE

[mommariffic]

....What the heck

Note: I am not really overweight. I've got chub sure, but I also have a huge bust and so I don't consider myself to be fat. Not entirely sure why my stomach is the only thing on me that I feel so self conscious about, but even after 3 months I still look 6-7 months pregnant.

My stomach isn't HARD, it's just round and huge. If I am wearing something I still look very pregnant. I have done excersising/am eating well and it WILL NOT GO AWAY.

It's making me [and I am not self conscious] feel horrible about myself.

How much did you gain? How big was the baby?

I gained 50lbs and DS was almost 8lbs and my placenta was "huge" to quote my OB. I dont' remember how long it took to get down to "normal" but it was more than 3 months.

It DID happen though!!!

Have you looked in to diastasis recti? Does it look like that?

I'm six months out (from my third baby) and my diastasis is still there... after my second baby it took a good two years to [mostly] close up. there's exercises you can do for it, though. Check into "lose your mummy tummy" (book) and if you youtube diastasis a whole bunch of stuff comes up that could help...
