Chicks who have kids before 25 basically snap back into place.

After 30, the rib cage move is perminant and nothign else goes back where it should.

They do it in Georgia and Ukraine but I worry about drinking and drugs. It's a big risk I'm not sure how they can control for that.

i've seen some skinny chicks who did not gain a lot of weight get pretty badly stretch-mark pwned. i've also seen chicks who started off 20lbs overweight and put on like 40 lbs bounce back with little visible damage.

unfortunately, you're kind of rolling the dice.

Rely on weightlifting and do a serious ab workout, not just cardio. Muscles will tighten your skin, especially around your stomach. You should aim for a 6 pack in preparation for pregnancy. This will also make giving birth easier because you use your ab muscles to push out the baby.

Use moisturizing lotion to prevent stretch marks on your skin.

oh nvm thought this was a discussion of stretching in another area

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3644942&forum_id=2#33537565)

Even if it was unavoidable I absolutely still would (and did) breastfeed. Its one of the very best things you can do for your babby and to refuse to do it out of concern for some cosmetic issue is silly.

all those women who've "grown" tits got implants; they didn't spend days on end benching.

If you dont want to do your bench press you dont have to, it's your call.

The women I know who incorporated daily fitness routines as part of their lifestyle YEARS BEFORE PREGNANCY all recovered well.

I'm not just talking about everything "snapping back into place". I'm talking about less than a year after birth, they're back to running 5ks in under 18 minutes. Mothers of two toddlers who are running sub 2:50 for a marathon. You don't need to be that fast, but any woman who really invests into becoming an athlete is much more likely to survive pregnancy in good shape.

Agreed that sunblock and time spent outside will contribute to sun damage, but if a woman has more pigmentation in her skin, this won't be as big of a factor.

We're also talking about pregnancy and "snapping back into shape" post-pregnancy. Not aging in general. I also agree with the poaster above who says that ab workouts help. A lot of the serious athletes I know do a ton of ab stuff so they aren't just cardio queens.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3644942&forum_id=2#33537570)

But a regular competitive runner (think a girl who does a marathon in under 3:30) should have the abdominal strength and general fitness to squeeze out a kid, and she'll have an incentive to get back to pre-baby weight since fitness is a big part of her lifestyle.

Is there really that big of a facial difference between runners, bikers, and regular gym-goers (yoga/crossfit geeks)? I'm talking about people who log 40 miles a week or less, not elite runners.

2) age

3) diet and exercise pre and post pregnancy (pre especially important because if you have a strong core, you will handle pregnancy better)

i've seen some psycho martyr moms nurse through shit latches where their nipples are being torn apart but that's psycho.

i'd just aim for as healthy of a pregnancy as you can and health before pregnancy and health after ofs. basically the same things that promote aging well promote getting through pregnancy well.

american women don't seemingly bounce back from pregnancy as much but american women are less healthy to start, have less healthy pregnancies, and less healthy most-natal lives. a big event like a pregnancy just exaggerates how unhealthy americans are imo.

2) Be young

3) To a much lesser extent, diet/exercise

Being not fat when you get pregnant and not gaining excessive weight also help a lot.

I felt almost guilty being in the maternity ward listening to other mothers who had to push out big headed monster babbies.
