[quote=Anonymous]When I was pregnant with my second child, I was swimming and mid-stroke realized that once I gave birth, my body would go back to being "mine" again and it filled me with joy. I'm not planning on having more kids, so any weight I lose is "for keeps" at this point, if that makes sense. Your body will probably (but not certainly) change. My feet grew a size -- from 7.5 to 8 -- but my biggest change is that my hips really expanded after my second birth. I don't love it. But I've come to live with it. More significantly, for me, the fact that when I run or exercise now it's not for "losing the baby weight" or "keeping the baby weight at bay," it's entirely for my own health, is very liberating.
