Advantages: comfort

Disadvantages: you feel like you are still pregnant

The first thing that I will say is please for gods sake don't get your hopes up for wearing your skinny jeans when you leave the hospital after having your baby. Everyone is different, and will take different lenghts of time to fit back into their own clothes again. It is only in the world of the celebrity that you see them photographed 5 days after giving birth dressed in tight skimpy clothes, looking no different to how they looked before they were pregnant. This is not reality!! They have fitness instructers and are constantly working at their figures. In the real world, pack some loose fitting clothes to wear home from the hospital. I was surprised at how long my stomach took to shrink back down after giving birth. I think it was about 6 months before I could comfortably fit back into any of my clothes. It was 9 months before I was back to my original weight pre pregnancy. It took 9 months to put it on, so why expect it not to take at least 9 months to get it off again.

Summary: 9 months to put the weight on, 9 months to get the weight off
