thats good thought i put loads of weight on, how long it take to go down

i'm not sure hun, I think most girls say it takes anywhere between a few days and a couple of weeks. I think once you're more mobile and your *ahem* going regularly again it doesn't last long xx

Haha it's hideous isn't it, I had a stomach like a space hopper for about a week. If you get really 'bunged up' take some senakot that'll get you moving and wave bye bye to Buddha baby belly x x

It is not the most attractive side effect. Mine still isn't right. It looks like I could pop it!
