[quote=Anonymous]I was completely wrecked after my first--huge episiotomy that took forever to heal, prolapse, etc. I also had PPD. It took months for me to feel like myself again, mentally and physically. OTOH, I lost the weight almost immediately--it just melted away--and externally I looked completely unchanged. No permanent difference in my waist or hips or shoe size, no stretch marks. My second (5 years later) was the opposite: really easy labor and delivery, I felt terrific afterwards with no physical issues and no PPD (in fact, I had a huge endorphin high for several weeks after delivery). But, though I gained no more than I had gained with my first pregnancy, it took a lot longer for me to lose the weight; I permanently went up half a size in shoes; even after I lost all the weight, my waist was never as small as it had been before; and I had a few stretchmarks.[/quote]
