Everybody's body is different, and while some moms seem to shed the pounds effortlessly, others still have to work on it a year later. We need to give our bodies more credit for the hard work they did, and be more understanding that it takes time to get back to the way it was! Thanks so much for the feedback.

I totally relate; I was so disappointed to not be able to wear non-maternity jeans after I had the baby! It takes time, but can be frustrating to keep seeing the baby belly afterwards. And congrats again! :) Danelle Ice @Amanda- Thanks! I totally relate; I was so disappointed to not be able to wear non-maternity jeans after I had the baby!

The weight is a big concern for most of us who have had babies, and it's best to set realistic expectations. Thank so much for the comment!

When I miscarried fairly late in the pregnancy, it was extremely hard to tell all those people. I'll definitely wait longer next time before I start telling people, but I don't regret telling everyone "too early" last time. As for the baby weight, it takes even longer than 9 months for most moms to get rid of it. You'd think that running around after a little tyke would be enough to burn it off, but apparently not!
