Is it stupid to think this?

Question

OK I'm 19 year old and have always been in excellent shape, i usually work out all the time and so on. I am 24 weeks and 3 days pregnant and have gained about 12 or 13 ound so far. ( Due May 5th) I told some girl i would be back into bakinis in July and she said i was pushing it. i got kinda mad because in my opinion 2 months is a long time not to mention you lose half that weight in the delivery room! I have only gained belly and nowhere else. DO you think it's stupid for me to say this?

First i am not a whore! and i am concerned about having a healthy weight which will be easier on me in the long run. And noone can use the excuse that they don't have time to work out because 60 sescond of situps a day is enough time and i also have a wonderful fiance who can watch teh baby as i go running ignorant @ss holes. Just because i care about myself doesn't mean i don't care about tkaing care of my child. My life should not stop because i have a kid and i'll continue being me!

Not everyone gegts stretch marks people. mY mother had five kids and not a single stretch mark, as amtter a fact noone in my family has em. Godd genes for elasticity in their skin

Answer 1

No, I think if your metabolism is up there than you have a shot, I think that when I get pregnant I will do the same as you!

Answer 2

As long as you take care of yourself why not?! Anyways why do you care what someone else thinks?? Some people think that once you have a child your body just goes to hell, but i say "only if you let it". I gained 43 pounds with my first baby, that's a lot!! I'm very petite. 6 months later i lost 50 pounds and was in a bikini. I'm not saying it will take you that long but it did me because i had gained a lot of weight also my son was born in November so i had plenty of time to get back in shape. Don't listen to what other people have to say it's their opinion but it doesn't mean it matters.
Not everyone gets stretch marks, i didn't and i'm pregnant with #2 and still don't have any. And why does everyone say think about the baby and not yourself?? It's lie saying let yourself completely go. It's ridiculous! Of course you worry more about the baby, it's your baby! But there's nothing wrong with taking care of yourself too!!!!! How can anyone take good care of their child if they can't even take care of them self's?

Answer 3

its not stupid, theres nothing to stop anyone wearing a bikini at any stage! if you are confident to do so then go for it. nobody can say prescisely what your body will look like 2 months after childbirth - although you prob wont look exactly how you did b4 you were pregnant. i lost weight but didnt look great round the belly! the worst possible reply to this question was "I think you need to stop being so arrogant and worry about being a good mother. Not worry about frolicking on the beach being a whore." Whoever wrote that?! Just ignore such nonsense.

Answer 4

Of course it's not "stupid" - but maybe a little unrealistic. You are not going to be feeling as good as you think you will after you deliver - especcially if you have to have a C-section. It takes at least 6 weeks for you uterus to "go down" after you deliver vaginally, and longer if you have a C-section. Don't set unrealistic goals for yourself - the baby is your focus not, yourself. You are barely half-way through your pregnancy, there is probably more weight gain to come - and it may start to spread out a bit. Don't worry - if you work hard - you'll be where you want to be soon enough - don't worry about. Keep in mind also that you WILL have stretch marks which in the beginning are red and noticable - you may not WANT to show them off in a bikini. Good luck to you and congratulations on your baby.

Answer 5

It is not exactly stupid to think that but it may be unrealistic. I lost the baby weight pretty quickly when I had my son at 17, but I was still "Squishy" for quite a while. And still not exactly how I was before. You have age on your side and you have not gained too much weight so you may be able to be in a bikini at that point but do not expect too much of yourself. You will have to wait at least 6 weeks before you begin exercising. You will be too tired to care! I would recommend breastfeeding for several reasons, one of which is that you will get your body back sooner. This has two reasons-1) It burns calories. 2) It contracts your uterus down to its original size, which will make your belly look flatter. Just enjoy your baby and don't worry about it too much!

Answer 6

Well you don't know how much time you will have once the baby is born, they do tend to take up most of the day and night, so I don't think you should put added pressure on yourself to achieve something that just may not be possible. Of course some woman are back in the bikini within that time, I just don't think you should set yourself any unrealistic goals like that as you simply will not know how well/fit/tired etc you will feel.

Answer 7

I don't think it's stupid to say it, if you have not gained a lot of extra weight other than just the normal baby weight you should be fine, before my daughter I was in great shape I gained 25 lbs during my pregnancy I lost 19 of it at the hospital just having her. I was back in my jeans I wore be for I was pregnant with in 3-4 weeks. just rember everyone looses weight diffrently

Answer 8

You might be able to wear a bikini, but your body will not look the same as it did before pregnancy, even if you gain the minimum amount of weight. And you're only 5 months, it's too early to think that you won't get stretch marks. None of the women in my family have them, and I got a TON!!! So before you plan on wearing your bikini, remember you aren't Britney Spears, and expensive plastic surgery may not be in your budget.

Answer 9

Everyone is different. Given that you are fit it may be possible if you have a normal delivery. If you have a c-section, thats a whole other ballgame. It takes about 6 weeks to totally heal from the c-section, and you won't be able to work out or do any sit ups.

Answer 10

not stupid, but you may be setting yourself up for a shock. i used to lose weight really easily and then i had my son. it took me a year to get the weight off and i still did not look anything like i used to and none of my old clothes fit either. most people think that the weight is just going to fall off. if your lucky, it does, but that doesn't happen for everyone. and you won't automatically lose half after delivery. i only lost 10 with delivery and gained 5 after that. i even breastfed.

Answer 11

some people lose the weight straight away as your life changes once you have a baby and things are alot more hectic - whilst others find it harder to shift that unwanted tummy.
give it time - is it that big of a deal if it takes you longer to shift it? you'll have a baby to concentrate on and i'm sure you wont even think about your body for a few yrs :-)
