My preggo and after pics

I was 169 before getting preggo and I'm 5'10"
At around 8 months

5 days before having my daughter - 230 lbs

and about 3 months afterwards, around 185

now I'm 173 and fitting into some of my pre-preggo size 9's

It's true that your hips widen after having a baby. I'll post before preggo pics when I get them scanned. I gained 61 lbs with this pregnancy and have lost 58 lbs so far. Yay for breastfeeding lol

Thank you!

All I'm doing right now is breastfeeding, I've done some crunches but I had a c-section and it's still sore. I get these darn tugging sensations and it scares me lol. My mom gained 85 lbs with my older brother and lost it all before he was 6 months old too. I also have hypothyroid disease and just started taking synthroid when I got pregnant.

Wow I think you look awesome!! I weigh 178 and I'm barely wearing 14's. You totally dont look like your in the 170's.
Way to go!!

Thanks. I think it has a lot to do with my height. But some days I feel alot heavier lol And of course it also depends on the style of pants your 14's might be the same as my 9's. I do have a pair of 15's that are very comfy
