Ha! must be nice. It took me a long time to lose that extra layer of blubber I got from pregnancy. I remember thinking that I could easily lose a couple pounds a week, then be in pre-preg clothes before going back to work. Not so much. And it wasn't for lack of trying. But, unlike Kate Middelton (and most women you know, apparently), I just do not have good genes. I am not naturally thin and it is a constant fight. Boo!

I looked just like Kate Middleton after I had my baby. In fact, I am Kate Middleton.

My SIL and I wore our prematernity clothes after giving birth going home. We're both size 0s and gained 23 lbs while pg. SIL basically lost all the weight after giving birth and I was back to pre-pregnancy weight in 6 wks and I had a c-section.

Original quoted PP here. I'm a size 6-8 and gained 18 pounds during my pregnancy. 90% of the weight was gone 24 hours after giving birth and the last 10% were gone within a couple of days. I think a lot has to do with genes.

Ha! I wish I'd been like you ladies! I was a size 4-6 pre-pregnancy (though gained a lot), and my legs were so swollen after giving birth (c-section) that my maternity jeans were too tight to put on. I had to go home in giant stretchy pj pants. I couldn't wear my maternity pants or any pair of shoes I owned for 2 weeks. It was awful.

she is genetically blessed. I want to hate her, but I really think she's a cool chick, so I won't

As for why some women don't just bounce back, I can give you my answer - thyroid disease. I didn't have it pre-baby, but it sprung up while I was pregnant and never went back to normal. I am now diagnosed with Hashimoto's, which is extreme hypothyroidism. Lucky for me, I haven't gained massive amounts of weight, but an extra 5-10 lbs for me is HARD to lose.

Not to mention I was never as fit as she is, so my abs got completely effed in the process of having one baby. I'm petite, plus due to a pelvic abnormality, my child couldn't drop and just kept growing straight out. Nothing short of plastic surgery is fixing it, trust me.

What on earth would be your basis for believing that.

It's seriously not that hard. I honestly find it more perplexing when women are talking about holding onto baby weight years later. Most women I know have no problem losing the weight. She's young and fit, it was never going to be an issue.

... OP here, I just found an article on the same thing. She indeed must have the genes to be so thin again. I don't know anyone in real life who bounced back like this:

I'm sorry but the grrl needs a haircut...it's so not flattering for her face and stature. Gah.

lots of people just have good genes. She appeared to be naturally thin, pre-child. I am not shocked that she is thin post-child.

Maybe others have already commented, but it seems Kate Middleton is looking *just* the same as before being pregnant (!):
