I had my baby six months ago and tonight I went out on the town for the first time since she was born (it was for a friend's bachelorette party) some guy at the bar thought I was pregnant. I feel REALLY crappy about myself now. I am 5'2' and weight 127. I am at my pre pregnancy weight and didnt think I looked bad at all. Never in a million years thought someone would think I was preggo. I just feel like I want to crawl in a hole forever. has this happened to anyone else? I feel like I should never leave my house again unless I am in baggy sweats and a t shirt.

Sometimes women might look pregnant because they have that "glow," not because they look fat. Anyway, don't put so much weight (no pun intended) on what "some guy at the bar" said to you. He was probably just some loser who couldn't come up with a better line, or he wanted to see if you were married/had kids. What better way to get you to say "No, I'm not pregnant, but I have a baby at home!" Trickery!! If anything, use this as motivation to go to the gym a few days a week, but you are NOT fat!! :)) I mean it, screw what that guy said!!

Oh sweetie, that's horrible! I always thought that it would happen to me because I had a c-section and my body got back into shape way faster than my belly. (One year later, my belly is still bigger than it was pre-pregnancy. Pilates and all!) Anyway, did you think of this? Is this someone that heard you were pregnant when you actually were pregnant and was just tipsy and confused? Okay, I was really skinny pre-pregnancy. 5'6" 125 pounds, but for some reason, I was bony (even though 125 isn't that low a weight) Post partum, I am 138 pounds. I have a tiny frame. I don't think that 127 at 5'2" is big. I am convinced that he knew you from somewhere and heard you were pregant and just hasn't seen you. Chin up.

I feel your pain. I decided to concentrate on my son instead of myself the first year after he was born. When my grandparents came back from their Florida vacation when my son was 10 months old, my grandma asked if i was pregnant again. Then my grandparents sat me down and told me that my husband would cheat on me if i didn't start looking like i did pre-kids. So even though you were probably hurt by that, i hope you feel better from my "it could have been worse" story. Don't worry about what others think of you, be proud of the progress that you have made so far, and, concentrate on the important people and things in your life. That's what i do, and i am putting up with these things from people that i see on a weekly basis.

What a toad HE was! Actually, I was holding my 3 month old son walking around a local store when I ran in to a guy I went to highschool with. He said how cute the baby was and asked who he belonged to and when MINE was due! I was not even over weight either.
It happens, it's not you. 127 is a fine weight and he was a cad. Try pilates and walking to strngthen the pelvic floor muscles, etc. and then don't stress.

That sucks. It happened to me once. The best thing to do is to try and forget about it. Some people are stupid and dont think before they speak. Maybe that guy thinks that if you dont weigh 90lbs. and dissapear when you turn sideways then your fat. It sounds to me like you look pretty good after just having a baby. Its not the end of the world. There are worse things in the world.

I haven't experience it, but do more exercise to keep fit, besides I've heard you can wear high heels to keep fit, because you need more strength
