I know she didnt mean it bless her but 'out the mouths of babes'......but she came to see me tonight and said Auntie K you still look pregnant..........Ahhhhhh I feel so fat as it is and no where near my old clothes I am mortified......I go to South Africa in 11 weeks on holiday and my SIL is a model (who we are staying with out there)!!! GREAT......I have to start WW or something this week....anyone else feeling hideous about thier body...

The thing is to begin with, I agree I have just had a baby but it gets to a point in a few months where I wont have that excuse.....

Ohhhh I hate weight issues.

OMG hun, I saw you only a few days ago and I swear you do not look big at all. Quite the opposite.

I know me saying that probably won't change how you feel about your body but honestly, I think you look fab.

Big hugs. Don't be too hard on yourself. Your SIL may be a model and not have a squidgy tum like the rest of us (!) but she doesn't have Leo so you are waaay better off.

I had a few comments like that and it got me down. Erin is 11 weeks now and I can see a definate improvement in my stomach. I have started an exercise class which I think is helping.
We put so much pressure on ourselves to be back to our pre pregnancy weight, I do.
I have seen pics of you on FB and you look great. I think with the WW and going out walking with Leo you will start seeing such a difference,remember hun it takes time.(I really should listen to my own advice)

omg!! poor u!! i no how u feel!! i put on over 5 stone wen i had my boy and didnt really get bk to my pre pregnancy state so this time wen i got preg this time i was already a bit of a chunck but i still look about 6 months preg! it so bad! i want to start doing sit ups but mum says its too soon (ayda's only 4weeks) but although iv always been chubby my tummy was always flat! i held most the weight on my bum and legs so this is awful now as i have no nice bits!! lol!! im sure u dont look pregnant still hun!! kids can be so brutally honest some times!!

The thing is I thought my stomach had gone back - the extra stone is def on my hips and thighs.........maybe I am not seeing what others see.

It certainly gave me a kick up the bum, I am starting WW this week and booked a 6 week course of buggyfit........

hun i can 100% say you DONOT look pregnant! you look fab! I know its easier said than done, but it took 9 months to go on so its going to take a while before you back to normal!!

Your sister in law maybe a model but does she have a gorgeous son like Leo in her arms???

HUGS x

Kids know how to make you feel good about yourself don't they?
5 weeks really is no time at all to be completely back to normal, you have spent those 5 weeks nurturing and getting to know your baby!!

You are a beautiful lady and you have plans to make yourself feel better so try to brush the comment aside (easier said than done I know) and if it really starts to get you down give Leo a massive cuddle and remember that it is totally worth it!!

Aaargh, just wrote long reply that disappeared... In brief: you don;t look pregnant I guarantee it! And don't be too hard on yourself - you'll tire yourself out if you do too much, and you need to eat well in order to cope with the sleep deprivation xxx

Lady K!! don't beat yourself up about it!! I have always been a big lass and swear i normally look about 6 months pregnant so don't expect to look any different anytime soon!!

You are a yummy mummy with a gorgeous baby no matter what anyone says!
