So far I’m shrinking up nicely. I have a mom pooch that’s slowly going away. I’m still pretty fresh out of delivery so I’m not going to fret yet. Definitely not completely flat but I’m slowly getting there. My MR seems in tact still. I haven’t noticed any separation. Yay!

Baby is here! I’m shocked at my tummy!

Only 2 days PP. TWO DAYS! I cannot get over how well my tummy already looks. Absolutely incredible! Total weight gain was 54lbs. I haven’t weighed yet since it’s only been 2 days but I will and I’ll update. I did end up with a vaginal delivery for those curious. The nurses told me my MR was still fully in tact when they were checking me after my baby was born so YAY! I’m still puffy and swollen so I expect it to shrink up even more but I seriously did not expect this AT ALL! I’m beside myself. I still have fat everywhere else to lose that I gained but that’s solely my fault for eating cruddy. I’ll keep updating!

Hey everyone. This may be my last pre baby post. Doctors say baby can come at any point. I have an “irritable uterus” and experiencing tons of contractions. Not sure if that’s due to the TT and MR making me so tight or not but I didn’t have it previously. I’m on moderate bed rest for a week then I’m back on my feet and they said it’ll be safe to try and get things going lol. Woo hoo. So far my MR has seemed to hold up. I’ve gained 45lbs. My belly is way smaller than my last pregnancy pre TT. I think I’m going to snap back in my belly pretty good. My PS did so awesome with my MR I can’t believe it’s holding up. I am getting some small horizontal stretch marks but nothing terrible. I can’t wait to start posting PP pictures and the shrinkage again!

Dr. Lacerna is the BEST! My experience was wonderful. She took what I wanted and ran with it, far exceeding my expectations! I'm a month PO and still swollen yet the results are just insane and it's only getting better. Her scars are superb. Low, thin and precise. My BB is super cute already! She truly is an artist and I'm grateful I chose her. Her bedside manner is great, she answers any and all questions with a smile, never seeming annoyed. I have zero regrets. I have a much lengthier review of the entire experience with lots of pictures if you want to check them out. Feel free to message me if you have any questions on my experience.
