  • DB is 11 weeks. My husband gave me sh!t because I don't fit into my skinny pants yet. I work out every day and am nursing. Am I wrong to think it should take another few months?

    • You are a fat cow. How dare you spend time posting on UB when you should be at the gym! Are you seriously asking this question? Tell DH to shove it.

    • For me, a few years. Tell him to give you a break, and that it is not funny to tease you after what your body has been through.

    • I think most people take 6 months to 1 year, but things will never be exactly the same. Having kids changes the body. You dh needs to understand this, but doesn't let him beat down your self esteem

    • If you are nursing, your body may hold on to the tummy area until you stop. Sounds like you are doing great. Get a new husband!

    • Tell him to have a basketball inflated in his abdomen... slowly.... over the course of 9 months and then abruptly removed. What the hell does he think he'd look like?

    • Tell him to 'get over it.' Some woman get back to their original size and some do not. If you do, it takes time which is find to find with a newborn.

    • You may get down to your pre-baby weight, but your body changed during pregnancy (my feet even grew a whole size!) and it might take longer to look the same in old clothes. Tell him to go buy you new skinny jeans that look good now & to get over himself. Unless of course you are just as worried about it as he is

    • I always thought I had a better body after having babies. I was always skinny, but for some reason pregnancy gave me more curves

    • I totally do NOT agree with DH. But, if you really want to drop the weight, do level I South Beach for one month, drink lots of water and exercise, just about daily. Worked quick for me, but now I have serious toning to still concentrate on.

      • No. Please don't do ANY diet while nursing. Eat all the calories that a grown woman needs and then some. Make sure they are very nutritious.

    • Tell DH to piss off. Not usually this vitriolic but he deserves it.

    • First of all, it is totally reasonable for it to take up to a year to lose the weight. And even if it takes longer, that's just how it goes. Secondly, you need to make sure you are still eating a balanced, proper diet while breastfeeding...no fad diets, no starvation. Tell your husband that he is ill informed and you don't appreciate the lack of support. Furthermore, tell him, "I thought I heard you say thank you?....so, you're welcome for giving up my body to a grueling process to produce a child for us. Now, where are my flowers, dickhead?" My husband thanks me repeatedly for going through this again to have our second child. FYI - It took me 9 months to lose the weight.

    • Did your husband actually say something about this to you? That is not OK.

    • This really upsets me. What an ass. He should be kissing your feet and massaging you all the time! I'm still 30 lbs overweight (dd is 8 months) but working on it. Still nursing and my dh has been totally supportive and reminds ME that I just had a baby!

    • Dude, he's so out of line...Even if he was just joking, he really messed up:) BTW, how did he even remember your skinny pants after 9 mos? Is he gay or what?

    • Your DH sounds like a jerk. It took me about a year to fit into my pre-preggo clothes with my first DS and a year and a half with my second DS. I nursed both for 10 months, and my husband didn't utter a peep about my appearance while I was breastfeeding, and I reckon that's just the way it ought to be.

    • 9 months on, 9 months off, maybe slightly faster if you are nursing.. tell you husband to f-ck off.

    • Tell your dh we all agree (and we NEVER agree here) that he's a prick.
