 Just wondering if any other ladies out there had a tummy tuck and then got pregnant. I'm 18 weeks and just look a little bloated. Anyone else? How long before you had that cute belly?

I appreciate you comments!

Well I had my TT in 2006 and I am 26 weeks and people can barely tell I am preggo.  I feel it and can see the top of my belly beginning to stick out; but no where look  this far along.  I still get "your pregnant, you don't look it at all" and when I tell them how far along....they look at me like I am crazy....I think it is because of the TT that I am not stretching as fast...but good thing is maybe it won't take much to get rid of it?  That's my thinking....Enjoy...Stacey

Hi there!
I had my TT 3 years before I got pregnant, and finally got a belly around 4 months. At 42 weeks pregnant, no one believed me - I looked about 35 weeks! And, I delivered an itty bitty tiny baby. I called it "The Goldfish Theory". A goldfish will grow to accomodate it's bowl, and so my littly bitty grew to accomodate her space .. it didn't stretch much! 
And, in delivery, it was VERY difficult for my L&D team to use monitors to detect contractions on my belly ... that was a challenge!
But, now Lydia is 6 months, and I am back in a size 8, with a flat belly (but it's a little loose now, not tight like it was).
Be healthy!!!

 Ladies,
thank you for the input! I feel much better and agree with the goldfish theory. My bowl will not be too big with all that muscle tightening they sutured.
