I am 5'2" and weighed 105 pounds before pregnancy and now weigh 132 pounds at 34 weeks.... I have no stretch marks on my abdomen (thanks to loads of cocoa butter, vitamin E and exercise). What I am asking is how is my stomach going to look the few weeks after the baby arrives? Can anyone with a similar frame tell me how my stomach is going to look? Will I get stretch marks afterwards?

if you don't have stretch marks by 34 weeks you probably won't get them now. they DO fade with time, beleive me, because I got them with my children and now 9 years after my last one I have none.
as to how your stomach will look, it will be "flabby" for a few weeks definitely but how it looks after that depends on how well you exercise and stay in shape. a jogging stroller is a great investment, i speak from first-hand experience. there are exercise programs that help you get your muscle tone back and they do work, and i recommend them because with a young child you will be doing a lot of lifting and having good strong abs makes life a lot easier.
also, get a 'baby sling" and carry your baby as much as possible, even while doing house-hold chores, and this will help get your body back in shape as well.
as you are exercising, you should have no problem. i've had 4 children and still take size 9 jeans and i'm 5'8".

you are the same as me. i am very small, 46kilos before bubs. sorry not sure in pounds. i didnt show until 6 months, when i only had a tiny belly then, just looked bloated.
after bubs was born i looked 6months pregnant again. so just a little pudgey, what most girls have. as before i had no bump in my stomach. baby is now 5months and its still not tight, i suppose i have to do excersises. so everyone is like "wow, you look great" when i dont see myself that way, as ive never had a "not flat" stomach before.
through the pregnancy i put on 10kilos, and after birth i had lost 7 of those.

Your stomach will almost imediately go back to normal size, you may have say 3-5lbs excess, which will go away quickly, breastfeeding speeds the process, but do make sure you get proper nutrition, especially for the 1st 6 weeks after the baby is born, and allow yourself time for plenty of rest. DO NOT LOG ONTO THAT ADRESS THAT MAN JUST GAVE YOU, IT IS A VIRUS!!!!!!!

you may have stretch marks and a flabby tummy sac (unless you do sit ups like 100 a day). Other then that, you will firm up nice.... oh and your boobs lose shape, but stay bigger
