I had got stretch marks with my first born and cried about it I eventually have got over it but now this is my second pregnacy and they have grown my babies will be 18monthes apart but as far as loose skin it wasn't like excess loose skin it just wasn't real firm and toned and my stretch marks started to fade as we'll so I know it may take time but as long as you eat healthy stay active and I would suggest merderma cream for  stretch marks you will get back the body you once had but it will take time  ..... if only my skin could stretch like some woman who get no stretch marks I had the perfect body b4 my first but I love my daughter and lo on the way they are a blessing from God

I was a first time mom n 2012 and when your young (I was only 21) it doesn't take long for ur stomach to get back yo normal . I had a c section and by 4 months u couldn't even tell I had a baby . no stretch marks or anything . I didn't do wraps or nothing and I didn't have stretch marks still don't have any with this pregnancy . well at least not on my stomach .but my love handles I do but tthat's because I had lost so much weight  in the beginning of my first pregnancy

Yea wraps are great, a have a few friends that sell them, along with stretch mark creams , I've never tried them but I've seen the results on my friends that are selling them and I definitely am going to try wraps and the creams after I'm all healed

They say after you give birth you'll still look pregnant so don't expect to look "back to normal" when you go home... But I've heard wonderful things about wraps too and I plan on wearing a waist trimmer
