Will my belly or breasts ever be the same?
I gained just over 60 lbs in my pregnancy. I lost the first 30 within a week after giving birth. Then I hit a stand still and over the course of the last year have lost about 20 pounds. I did reach my pre pregnancy weight however I believe I am 10 lbs over it again. I don’t worry much about weight as I do the look of my body. I have curves and my body just looks like a larger version of what it used to be with the exception that my belly has excess skin. It doesn’t look nasty and its flat I just want to tone it. I have been doing crunches and other ab exercises twice a day. I have yet to see any difference but I can feel a difference in the underlying muscle. I haven’t been doing this for very long so I am not expecting results right away but has anyone had luck in other exercises with getting rid of the excess skin and how long did it take?
I am also annoyed with my breasts. My daughter is 14 months and we are still nursing but when I am finished will they ever go back? My size over doubled once I got pregnant and I have heard they go back and have heard they dont. My older sister told me horror stories of her breasts looking like empty socks with rocks and the bottom, just hanging there. This saddens me and even turns me off during intercourse with my hubby. Are there any exercises to help tighten the breasts? I went from a solid 36D to a 36DDDD =( I hate the look of them and will eventually most likely invest in a breast lift but I still want to have another one so I have to wait.
Any suggestions from any other moms out there that may have experienced the same issues and had success at improving the belly and/or breasts?
I have also been told that once the skin separates from the muscle it doesn’t go back so are my ab workouts even going to make a difference in the overall look of the loose skin?? I realize everyone is different but I guess I am hoping its not genetic. My mother, after 5 pregnancies, is skinny but bigger than she was before her first pregnancy and she still has excess skin on her tummy so am I doomed to never be the same??
Thanks in advance!!
The size of the breasts fluctuates while breast feeding which is absolutely normal.They will get big when full and shrink when empty of milk.After the breast feeding is stopped the breast will take their normal form.they never look like socks,no matter how many babies fed.They will hang only in very old age.
