My thoughts exactly. I never tried spanx pre-pregnancy, so I don't really know anything about them, but somehow they seem less scary. Or maybe I'm just afraid that purchasing a girdle is the beginning of my slide into middle age. Man, I'm going to need to counteract starting this thread with some deep posting about child development or something... But I gotta say, in a way I'm grateful that I'm able to worry about silly things like my tummy at a week post-partum. Life could be a lot more difficult!

I bought some girdle thing a fews days after delivery and while I do believe it helps, it was so HOT and it also rolled down when I'd sit so I was constantly fixing it when I'd stand up. :
