Never again! I know all about the after baby jelly belly, and I too have been asked the question. With all the hormones, I was almost in tears. Fun stuff!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09360113495220453318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2416641436188378939.post-78741387214078098472010-10-21T16:36:23.590-07:002010-10-21T16:36:23.590-07:00I'm not kidding.... we attended a family BBQ t...I'm not kidding.... we attended a family BBQ the DAY AFTER the birth of our third child... WITH BABY, my husband's grandfather (yes, he's old) asked him if I was pregnant. Someone was CLEARLY not fully aware of their surroundings.<br /><br />I always put on an extra 20 lbs in my butt and thighs, so there's NO HOPE of returning home slim and trim. But this time I'm getting myself a postpartum GIRDLE. In some asian cultures it is (or was) traditional to bind mommies abdomen with cloth to bring everything more quickly back to shape. Some people might think this is barbaric or unnatural or sexist or... whatever -- I think it's a great idea.MrsKnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15569271168397382272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2416641436188378939.post-32900911938048842952010-10-21T12:14:30.369-07:002010-10-21T12:14:30.369-07:00It's a simple fact that you never EVER EVER EV...It's a simple fact that you never EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER ask a woman if she's pregnant or when is she due unless you are 100% that she is currently pregnant.<br /><br />My husband learnt it the hard way with one of our neighbours. We didn't talk them much since...!Mickey Blumentalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315613261443756123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2416641436188378939.post-76163773935428864662010-10-21T08:09:39.768-07:002010-10-21T08:09:39.768-07:00You look so happy - especially in your most recent...You look so happy - especially in your most recent pictures!! I can tell you that I was the friend you needed to be happy for with my first child. With #2 - the first surro I was back in my pre-pregnancy clothes the day I was released from the hospital. With #2 - second surro I squeezed into the pre-pregnancy clothes at the bris - 8 days after giving birth. Since those first 3 kids it has been MONTHS (ok, years....) since I have fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes. I agree though - that question is a painful one. <br />As far as you are concerned - If they saw you BEFORE this delivery and saw you now - I give you permission to kick any cane!! You look great - I am sure down 30# helps even more, but that belly just doesn't disappear! Not sure how big your twins were, but my 10# kid destroyed my belly!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09803346666289171333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2416641436188378939.post-71666972402310109682010-10-21T00:09:53.079-07:002010-10-21T00:09:53.079-07:00Congratulations on the birth of the twins!

It absolutely sucks sometimes. After having my boys, it took months to lose the baby bump. The worst thing that happened to me, was when I was with my 4 month old baby and someone still asked when I was due!! And now, after having the surro triplets, it sucks even worse because I don't have a baby with me to stop people from asking that question. I feel like getting a shirt made that says, "Don't ask... I just had triplets!!" And it's not like I'm not losing weight either. I just about lost all of my pregnancy weight, but that stupid bump is still there!! I have found myself even counting the days since someone has last asked when my "due date" was... it's been over a week now, so I'm hoping everyone keeps their mouths shut!!<br /><br />BTW, have you heard of the Belly Bandit? It made such a difference for me and I recommend it to everyone.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04283782649412932548noreply@blogger.com
