[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just bone expansion alone is going to cause your weight to be distributed differently. I went back to prepregnancy weight after my first child, but went up a size because my hip bones just wouldn't fit in my clothes anymore. Also had a slight pooch of my belly that has gotten dramatically worse after my second. Sigh.

Having a girl with my second child has helped me keep perspective, as particularly with a daughter (and also important with my son), I want to set an example of loving the skin I'm in rather than being self conscious of it. I take care of my body through eating healthy and exercise. I don't want to set an example of getting a tummy tuck and breast lift for purely cosmetic reasons on a minor tummy pooch as I hate the thought of my daughter knowing that I felt like I had to fix my body to fit an impossible standard of beauty (and it is an unrealistic standard if it takes surgery to get there).[/quote]

OK, so bone expansion does NOT exist. Just get over it. WHO CARES?[/quote]

Of course it exists. Part of puberty is the widening of the hips. Hips also move during pregnancy.  Are you the same genius who is claiming, in another thread, that toning muscles doesn't exist because you can't diet and grow muscle mass at the same time? I urge you to get a primer on anatomy and physiology and then come back so that you can annoy me less often with your uninformed yet imperious posts.  [/quote]

NP. My pelvis definitely widened with my first pregnancy. I'm 34 weeks into the second one. I had super narrow hips before giving birth, and really liked my postpartum shape (it took about 6-9 months for everything else to go back to its place, but the hips stayed). Not sure if they'll get any wider with #2, just wanted to say our bodies don't always turn out worse after kids. I'm giving the stomach skin 2-3 years to go back to normal. The first time it took about 2 years. I was no spring chicken then (36) and am certainly not now (40), but am optimistic.  Worst case scenario, I will wear a tankini and only show off my slight thigh cellulite to the world.  :mrgreen: [/quote]
