Some mamas look like they haven't even undergone nine months of carrying child after they give birth, but the majority of us aren't that lucky.
Lil Sugar has listed the ten most common postpartum body surprises.
- Body shape: Motherhood can turn an apple into a pear or a skinny "boy" bod into that of a mushy mommy. Ladies may lose all the weight, but the parts shift and don't necessarily fall back into the same places.
- Saggy baggy belly: Even for a skinny Minnie, excess skin and that last bit of belly blubber can be impossible to burn.
- Deflated balloon boobs: Women liken their post breastfeeding breasts to folding pancakes into a bra. And going without wire support after having an infant or two is near impossible.
- The pouch: Mothers aren't marsupials, but after baby many ladies carry a bit of a pouch. For some, it's an inevitable curve of the stomach.
- Back fat: A toned back may end up with lil tufts of fat after the expectant phase. And, certain undergarments tend to emphasize them.
Check out the other five on Lil Sugar's website.

it sure changed but mainly because i didn't keep my mouth shut, after giving birth to my first daugther i was able to fit into my old jeans but then i ate and ate and gained the weigth so that forced my body to change. i did loose almost all that weight in a year and kept it away and now im pregnant so we'll see what it brings =-/
I have four kids (the youngest is six weeks old) and with each birth, my body betrayed me just a little more, lol..Now I look perpetually like four months pregnant, ugh, I lose all the baby wieght, but my tummy (under the belly button) just refuses to budge, no matter how much I walk, diet or crunch. Makes me crazy.

Post-PREGNANCY. Boobs get ruined by pregnancy - not nursing.
I do think all women are different I do think that IN my case Breastfeeding mess up my breast REALLY bad. My son suck my breast so hard that my skin is very loose and with marks. I did the same with my first and she dint cause my beast skin to streach like that she was more genttle. I dont regreet it one bit my kids come first and it was the best for them but really I do think my breast is so streach because of that I know it wasnt my pregnancy I know my body too well LOL. But that just me it doesnt mean it will happend to others so dont bash LOL.
some of those apply to me
