i was 18 with my first and i was in shape..ive always had big boobs lol but not really any curves...since i had my son i HATED my body for the first 4 months after i had him..the loose tummy and my breasts werent as firm after breast feeding...but eventually the weight just started coming off and i got back into my old jeans(kind of:) i actually began liking my new body better...i felt more `womanly` because it gave me hips and a booty which i never had! so i actually looked proportioned! it took some time but im sure your body is still changing (seeing as how u had twins!) and whether or not you lose all the weight im sure ur husband is finding the woman u are and ur new body sexier than ever!

it took me about 2 to 3 months before I even tried sex.. but it was a long time after that that I actually really started to enjoy it again. YOu`re toally normal.. having a baby is tough on your body.

My body IS back to normal AND I`m losing weight hand over fist....and I still don`t want to have sex. We`ve tried several times and I am just not into it...nothing feels right, nothing gets me moving, etc...

Yep!!! I feel like a cow too! Before I became pregnant I was 130 lbs. Now postpartum for 5 months and I weigh 150 lbs. At full term pregnancy I was 160 lbs. I thought that I was going to bounce right back and be normal. Yea right! I tried to not eat for a couple days and I did lose 5 lbs. but then I said screw that and I went wild like a fat kid in a candy store! Needless to say, I gained it all back! haha. I asked my hubby the other day what has really changed about me since giving birth and he said I had bigger legs and a bubble butt. But I`m not mad because I asked him to be honest and tell me, plus it was something that I already knew anyway. I have an elliptical machine at home, but I guess I`m just to lazy to use it.But within the last couple of days I have been more conciencious about what I`m eating and drinking

just think of it this way~ that body that your so disgusted by, can NEVER do what ANYONE else on the planet can do~ give birth to those babies, those are battlewounds my love! and you should be thankful that you could have those babies and enjoy as much as you can your new body. I know its hard, I have all those issues too, but trying to think differntly about your body instead of how down it can be, think of all the posistves it has done for you! =)

Can SO relate ~ it did get better over time, or should I say I learned to accept it. Everyone used to say I looked great but I didnt feel sexy naked and even though hubby loves my body I never really felt 100% again sadly. I would do anything for a boob job and tummy tuck, lol. The scars did fade alot and after a year my toning was better and weight down much more but my deflated flat pancake boobs never changed back to the firm perky boobs I had. A bra made me look good but I want to look good naked too. You really need to give your body a year to get back to the way it was or closer. Sadly though a section will prevent it from being totally firm since muscles are cut. My mom used to say `just go buy a nice sexy outfit` it will help ~ well it didnt so yes I can relate but know you are not alone ~ many feel as you do, ESP at only 4 months post partum. And with twins (((()))) My sis and SIl both had twins and they did get their bodies back but it took time, a good year or so. You will do it ~ I`ve had 3 kids and hate how I look but my hubby loves it so I`ve accepted it and learned to be happy knowing my battle scars brought the most bautiful blessings into my life and I wouldnt change it for the world. As your babies grow you will see all those things you hated fade when you realize your children light up your life ((())) You may not be totally happy with your body but you will get it back closer to what you do want by a year and you will feel great then ~ 9 months out 9 months in at least :) (((())))

i was 18 when i got pregnant and a size 1, i had nice boobs and a perfect athletic body. now after breastfeeding for 9 mos. i have no cleavege (spelling?) and i miss my big boobs that i had! my thighs and butt look like cottage cheese or whatever they say and my curves are flattening down, i have sunk everywhere or something! my body is out of shape and i am stuck in a size 7 for about 4 mos and right after i had a c section my stomach was still big and i was a size 12 with d boobs, now i have b again. well i just got a bike and a bobike seat for my baby 3 days ago and we have gone for a 30 min. ride every morning and i am going to start getting some exersise, maybe i will feel better, who knows?

It is certainly difficult to feel sexy after giving birth and breast feeding, because your body has turned `motherly`. And well also more people then ever had to look at places you rather not have them and breastfeeding can tend to make boobs feel more like tools then pretty objects. And because the world makes us feel like sexy means a thin body with perkyness. But heck that is why they make bras and girtles (just kidding). It may take a few more months for your body to firm up, if you excercise it will get into better shape faster. You may have to find new styles of clothing that make you feel better, (just not those Mom jeans with a nine inch zipper and butt pockets that extend up to the shoulder blades.) But you should go and buy a new set of underwear and new outfit or two (after babies we tend to spend it all on the babies) but it will really make you feel better and help get some of your sexy back.
