Any mum had a small tummy during pregnancy?Mine i carried so small tht until 8 months pregnant when i pointed out to pple i am pregnant then they know.They will all comment..wah so small ah?But delivered at 37 weeks n baby weighed 2.92kg.Hmmm..thts really gd acc to my gynae.She said a big tummy doesnt mean a big baby.
Now baby is 15 days old.My tummy went flat after 5 days post delivery.Didnt go for any massage .On 8th day i went out to my sons swim class with my baby n everyone was asking whose baby it was!!!!when i said mine..their first comment was tht they didnt even realised i was pregnant n then they were asking where is my tummy coz it had gone flat n i was wearing my old spaghetti tops once again n shorts.Wah piang!Dunno whether to be flattered or insulted!!!
Went for my gynae check yesterday n she too commented..wow..thts the flattest tummy she had seen after delivery so soon.She said it was quite rare..hmmmm..no wonder all other mummies were staring at me when i was carrying my baby ard the clinic.I am still feeling quite disturbed.If anyone ask me again whose baby..i think i am gonna punch them out:err:

I rather you be happy about your flat tummy. Just say "It's my baby and I am proud of it." :)

paiseh!!! typo error! is 38 weeks!!! haha!!!!

when i was preg, EVERYONE commented how small was my tummy esp my mum! I got so pissed off and told them "my gynae said my tummy is on the RIGHT size, my baby too"

even 2days before I delivered my son, I went for haircut, the hair sytlist asked "so when are you giving birth?" I told them 2 days later as my was scheduled c-sect. She replied "huh! haven reach the 7th month can give birth? why so early?" I nearly faint on the spot! haha..

ya i heard c section tummies r harder to get rid of.I had no confinement so maybe tht cld be one reason why.But coz i kept moving ard too much i a few of my stitches did come off..so the pain got worse.Just rest n recover first.No point trying to get rid of tummy then end up with more permanent problems.
Just had some visitors n kept covering my tummy..so just sat in bed the whoel time they were here..hehheheh.Some totless pple asked..waaah u go on diet do fast is it?! idiots man!!

easy..while looking after kids also try to do housework.I used to vacuum house like siow when i ate too much or needed a work out.U not only get a gd sweaty workout but also a clean house.When pushing stroller also try to use abdomen musceles.really works.N once u r recovered fr childbirth just do abt 20 crunches a day..thts all.No nned waste money on gym all.Can even do them during tv advertisements..hahhahah

I think you lead an active lifestyle during pregnancy like me.

The moment I gave birth, my tummy shrunk, only to leave a small flap of excess skin. When my mum arrived in hospital 3 hours after I gave birth to visit me, the first thing she did was press my tummy and said "wah lau, why you got no tummy one!"

I wore my pre-preg tight capri pants home on discharge day :)

hi jusmum,
hmm..i just dont believe in confinement i guess.Its a luxury i cant afford.Still have to run the household n look after my kids.Me n hubby also dont like idea of someone else looking after our kids when we r ourselves around.Hubby is very hands on with everything.I do get tired n bodyaches coz been abt 16 days after birth but no choice lah.N i am very particular abt wht i eat.Dont like alot of stuff except for burgers.My mum has her own stuff to do n so she tried to bring me either lunch or dinner so i am not eating frozen burgers everyday...hehheheh...just cant wait to regain all my previous energies..all tht sitting on bed for 3 months b4 delivery completely weakened me..now have to start all over again..tsk!tsk!

u shld have told the dr ah.."ya u didnt do gd job..still left another baby inside!!"n see his reaction..betetr yet say when got pple..hehehheh
