Congrats on your new addition!!!!!!
I had my daughter a few yrs ago and I have zero stretch marks on my stomach but I did get a few on my side during my pregnancy I put Coconut Oil on my stomach religiously but once you have them there is nothing you can put on them to go away they may fade or lighten up but it will never completely go away...
As for the weight before I was pregnant I worked out faithfully and during my pregnancy I ate healthy no sweets and junk food or fast food. How soon you lose the weight really depends on what you were doing during your pregnancy if you were pigging out and not eating healthy then it is going to take some time maybe a year or more depending on your dedication maybe sooner. Also what kind of shape were you in pre-baby did you work out or were you a little overweight.All these factors play a major role. I had a c-section and I had my old body back in 3 months without ever working out and didn't even have the saggy pouch that some girls end up with. There is nothing you can do for your breast they are going to be what they are going to be but you can't tell now cause you just had your baby so they are full

Hope this helps

first congrats! I would recommend you wearing a corset-type thingie to help your stomach and waist to slim down, if you are breatsfeeding, expect for your boobs to pretty much deflate if they haven't already, if not good! Can't think of anything else at this moment

Thanks for the congrats everyone! Yah the weight seems to be coming off cause I was quite active during my pregnancy. It's too bad there's nothing I can do about the stretchmarks or my boobs, maybe a boob job is in my future lol
