I weigh 109Ib and my metabolism is fast(or high whatever you wanna call it) so I don't get fat. I usually eat whatever I want and I never get fat. Maybe it will change with the baby but once I have it will my belly go back to normal quick? and how long ahould it take?

Well your belly won't exact go back to normal after the baby is out you will still look alittle prego. I lost 20lbs after the baby not after i had the baby i still looked prego. But after you heal for 6 weeks then you can workout. The best advice is walking 3 times a week at least 20-30min i lost 20lbs quick with in 2 months and i went right back to my weight.

It should take a while because your uterus has to shrink from the size of a basketball back to the size of a fist. That can take some time, but it's supposed to return to normal size faster if you're breastfeeding. You're also going to have a lot of extra skin that needs to tighten back up.
Plan on packing something that fit you from the second trimester in your hospital bag. If you don't gain an excessive amount of weight that's about where your body and tummy will be when you leave the hospital.
Completely to pre-pregnancy normal? Hmmm... maybe never. Some women bounce right back, some women have a bit of a tummy forever. A lot of it will depend on how much exercise you get (after you're cleared for that at your 6 week checkup after the baby is born) and your general health. Metabolism has very little to do with it, as you might not have much fat there... just extra skin...

I weighed 118 before getting pg and also have a high metabolism....162 when I went into labor. I went from a sz 5 to a sz 13, and now (5 1/2 monts later) am finally back into a sz7 and weigh 130. I don't think I'll ever be back into a 5.....but when I left the hospital I wore sz. 9, and my belly was as flat as it was at around 3-4 months pg....so it's not so bad losing the weight at first, just kinda hard to lose the last 15-20 lbs.

I weighed 105 the beginning of my first pregnancy and had a high metabolism but I never fit back into my old pants. It's been 6 years now and I still hate the fact that I don't look like I did when I was 16....but hey that doesn't happen to everyone.

It is hard to say because everybody is so different. Most of my friends are definitely fatter after having kids. This could be for a number of reasons though ie no exercise and high fat diets.
Myself and one good friend lost our baby weight very easily, (we are about the same weight as you). However we both exercised throughout the pregnancies and also ate healthily during and after the birth. I personally think that is the key, all foods in moderation.
Some of my friends think I dieted, but they did the opposite and ate crap and wonder why they are bigger now than when they started.

It's hard to say. Each woman is different.
Some can lose weight faster after giving birth, but I think more women find it difficult.
I still haven't lost all of my baby weight and my youngest is 3 yrs old. And yes I am working out, eating sensibly, and just started taking green tea fat burner.
My sis-in-law whose always thin (less than 110 lbs) had her 1st baby last July and only put on weight in her tummy.
Now, 8 months later, her tummy has gotten smaller but not completely yet.
So there's not one answer for this, b/c its a different situation for each woman.
Hopefully this helps.

Unfortunatly, you never know. I've found (2 kids) that there's a huge weight loss after about 6 weeks but getting back into my normal clothes took longer than that (3-4 months or so).
Oh, that's the pants, the boobs stayed oversized for quite a while (I nursed both kids nearly a year).

I'm a new mommy, my babygirl just turned 3 months old and I'm starting to fit in my old clothes...I'm no longer breastfeeding and that has defenately slowed the process of loosing weight...I guess it will take a couple of months to truly get to my pre pg weight

everyone is different and ofcourse you are going to have to do some work to get a flat tummy again and if you are lucky you will have it...
