"The dads cannot have all the attention . Person all I hate the mummy tummy... The bit where it folds. You girls know what I'm talking about?"

(I hate the 'dad bod' thing for similar reasons... so I'm an equal opportunity hater.) Shall we just pretend that carrying a child around for 9 months has no impact on our bodies then? " Having a child doesn't have to give you stretch marks. Some of my friends who have had children don't have stretch marks or 'mummy tummies'. I guess it depends on the individuals body and their skin - everyone is different to everyone else. On the other hand, I have a fat tummy and stretch marks. I've never had children. It's just my body is super sensitive to putting on weight and losing it again. I think my might start calling mine my 'Batchelor of Arts Tummy' or possibly my 'Car Accident Bad Leg Stretch Marks'. Giving things 'cute' names because you're a mum means that those of us who aren't mums struggle more to get our fat bits accepted. If a guy says 'oh you're a little bit fat' or 'you have some stretch marks' I can't just blame it easily on the fact that I've got pregnant three times and had a few babies. I'm just a person with a body. And bodies get fat bits and stretch marks. The sooner we just accept that rather than blaming it on things like motherhood, the better. | |||

But other posts have stated that carrying children is the only "legitimate" reason not to be in shape and everything else is just laziness. | |||

" I'm as fat as a hippo but I rarely sit on my arse. Same things work is long and busy. At home I end up running around after everyone and I have a really active social life. My issue is wrong food, the demon drink and no proper exercise (well except in bed). Probably be the same if I hadn't had a child. You know what though? I don't really mind my extra baggage. The day it starts to mean I can't do things is the day I will probably re-evaluate my lifestyle. We're all different that what makes us interesting. | |||

"The dads cannot have all the attention . Person all I hate the mummy tummy... The bit where it folds. You girls know what I'm talking about? Personally I hate this trend to associate body 'imperfections' with motherhood. Do women who haven't had children just have 'fatty tummy' since they don't have 'mummy tummy'? (I hate the 'dad bod' thing for similar reasons... so I'm an equal opportunity hater.) Shall we just pretend that carrying a child around for 9 months has no impact on our bodies then? No but you shouldn't pretend that carrying a child around for 9 months is the only acceptable reason for women to have "imperfect" bodies. No one has assumed, the OP started thread called mummy tummy which is why people are discussing mummy tummy in particular. In effect answering the question that was asked If thread had been called wobbly tummy, if dont like my tummy, then comments would be more open from all (mothers or non mothers) Okey dokey, all the childless will bugger off then, I didn't realise comments were only permitted from parents. " No one including myself have said none childless cant post, what i said was the OP post was directed specifically at parents by calling it mummy tummy/dad bod, thus commented generated are going to be mainly about mummy tummies or dads bods, really don't get why people get so uptight when i have pointed out that theres nothing wrong with people answering what was asked on the actual OP. No one has said in he thread that i can see anyway, that non parents have no excuse to not be figure perfect. I personally feel everyone should be proud of their bodies, fat, thin, talk, short etc, as your bodies are you. If people don't like then their loss | |||

"May not be a popular opinion here but personally I think 'dad bod' is bollocks! And body faults (thread veins, loose skin on tummy, squidgy tits) I have were caused by carrying, giving birth to and breastfeeding my children! I diet and exercise regularly to minimise the effects as much as possible! Guys don't carry children, give birth or breast feed - they've no excuse to be out of shape in my opinion - except temporarily if they're helping to care for very young babies/children - but even then they can watch their diets and exercise to some degree - just like many mothers do! Sorry - dad bod = lazy bod! Funny I find with working 60 hours a week, volunteering to help out at a kids club and basically trying to fit in other things I can't get to the gym, and eat more prepared meals that aren't as good for me! But he'll yeah I'm just a lazy cunt!! Here's stereotyping, blokes I know with gym bodies tend to be a lot more selfish, especially with their time! I know couples who have to book holidays where the hotel has a gym so they can maintain their body! Hell the one guy was 30 odd and put a tin of beans in the microwave and wondered why it sparked, he'd never had to cook! Each to their own I guess lol But if that's your body in your profile pic there's nothing wrong with it?! I'm talking about calling obesity/morbid obesity 'dad bod' not a perfectly acceptable and normal body shape! I don't think all guys should have huge pecs and a six-pac by any means. X Well I'm nowhere near where my weight for height should be!! Though I want that weight at 21 so god knows how they work it out. " I'm with you there Hun! I'd describe myself as relatively slim but officially I'm on the overweight borderline as I'm big boned! Fortunately most guys who meet me don't make me stand on the scales! | |||

So I guess the same goes for women who haven't had babies. But I definitaly agree we should be love our bodies more for what they do for us. | |||

"I've had 2 csections. But from talking other mum friends, I've got off lightly. However the main negative result is the inability to selectively control my lower abs to tone there. Sit ups etc aren't possible. Even at my fittest, that's been an issue. It's frustrating but I figure that anyone who doesn't like it, doesn't have to have sex with me! " to tone that bit at the bottom sit ups don't work. There's this other exercise thing that helps, no idea what it's called, but you lay down bring knees up to tummy then kick up with legs together. Clearly it's too much effort for me lol but if you want to try toning it up, that's the best way. If it did bother me that much I'd be doing it, rather than a tuck due to the scars they leave x | |||

" I'm not saying it's going to reduce massive skin overhangs or remove deep scars completely, but the shrinkage of tissue is quite immense, and yes, it stays that way permanently. I have used this with many female gym goers and they are amazed by the results. Works everywhere btw, back of arms, inner thighs etc. Not a great smell, and can be pricey given the amount used, but way cheaper and less painful than surgery. | |||
