[quote=Anonymous]Yep this was the absolute worst part of pregnancy. My advice is to just not look down and especially don't look in the mirror before 4-6 weeks are up. I never thought I had major body issues, but I felt suicidal looking at my body after birth. Things were much better by 4 weeks. With my 1st I actually left the hospital weighing MORE than when I went in (I was on a saline pump for 3 days). My face was so swollen I could barely open my eyes in the morning because it would pool while I slept. I worked really hard on it and did get back to pre-pregnancy weight by 12 weeks though. It definitely was a struggle and in no way did it "fly off". Moms walking groups were so much fun. Still took months longer to firm up and look like my old self though. [/quote]
