    Wow, you look great! 6 weeks postpartum and you would never guess you've just had a baby. Took me 2 years!

    you look pretty damn good for 6 weeks post partum... in fact you don't look post partum at all.

    don't put pressure on yourself to look any particular way or to get back to a pre-pregnancy weight quickly.... what's most important is that you focus on your health and the health of your baby. Get back into exercise when you get the all-clear to do so medically, eat well (if you're breastfeeding eat enough to keep your milk supply up) and remember that this is not a race. There's no rush, just be healthy.

    if thats 'bigger' you must have been tiny before!

    try to see yourself how your kids see you... a 100% beautiful mother who is their whole world

    seriously, give yourself a break. Focus on your baby and being healthy, and worry about your "perfect weight" later. You are clearly a healthy weight and you look great. Enjoy your little 6 week old baby, they don't stay that tiny for long. Love yourself for who you are, not a number on the scale!!

    You look amazing! I would guess you to be between 110 and 120 and a size 6 or 8 max

    Congrats on the baby. You look like a size 4 or 6. You look Tiny and never would have guessed 4 in 5 years or 1 ..6 weeks ago. I had 2 in 26 months and still don't have your shape. : )

    Just make sure you are working out with a post pregnancy tape (watch those stomach muscles- they have been stretched for 9 months)or working on a post pregnancy workout of some type. And just keep it up. Lots of water and you will be fine. It has only been 6 weeks. You were pregnant for a lot longer than that and your hormones haven't finished leveling out yet.

    Just be smart with what ever you do.

    Seriously? Only 6 weeks?! You look fantastic! I guess if I had to estimate your weight without knowing your height, I'd guess around 125-130.

    You look like that 6 week post-partum after your FOURTH child?! Girl, I would kill for genes like that. You look fantastic.

    I would put you at MAX UK size 10. I haven't been as small as you since I got married. I doubt you need to lose weight, just slowly tone your stomach back up - gently!

    Hey hun, First of congrats on your new born. Ive just had baby to she's now 10 weeks 2days.

    But i must say you look fab compared to me. Im 201lbs i had lost 2 stone before i got pregnant and gain it all back :(.

    I think all you need it a bit of toning nothing huge. Remember you've not long had a baby either and from what my health vistor said guessing depending on how much i weight from others she said could take me up to a year to loose it all..since you still have alot of fluid pumping around your body from being pregnant.

    Hope you get some good advice from others to lol. xxxxx

    You look amazing! I looked like a beached whale after my 2nd, for several months, despite exercise!

    I'm rubbish at guessing weight, but you look about a US size 6-8

    6 weeks postpartum? seriously? you look fantastic chick! I took me 5 months after my second to look like I didn't have a baby! Don't be hard on yourself, your body changes SO much when you have kids, and you look great! can't even tell you had a wee one.

    It took me a solid 3 months after having my baby to look like "me" again, even though I still (at 4 months PP) don't really look like I did before.

    Patience.

    you sound like me, I just had my 4th in 5 years 8 weeks ago! I also had just lost weight before I got pregnant, so it's been really frustrating to be bigger again. Sadly I gained 50lbs with my pregnancy and only lost 12 after having the baby, so I am now starting over at an even heavier weight than before =( You really look great though, so try not to be so hard on yourself! Having a baby is really can do a number on your body! I bet you'll be back to your old self in no time!!
