Drysuit fit after Pregnancy?

[mrobinson]

So I'm wondering about the women divers who had a custom drysuit that fit before getting pregnant. How long did it take to lose the weight and fit in the drysuit? Did your body just change too much that the drysuit just didn't fit anymore? Or did raising kids just take you away from diving altogether?
Thanks!

Hi, I have a Mobby's drysuit that fits better now than in did before I was pregnant. The only thing that I need to get fixed is the wrist and neck seals, they are too big now. My son is 20 months old, I have lost all the baby weight plus 10 pounds. I dive about once a month on average, not as much as I'd like but Cameron does take priority over diving.

Hope that helps!

That does help. I think I'll have a year of diving before I get pregnant but I want to get the DUI CLX450, custom fit. I'm just super scared to spend the money and not be able to use it after the babies come.

A friend of mine started diving something like a month after giving the birth.
Her drysuit she had before fits her perfectly.

mania - that helps. Did she gain much weight? Did this woman lose all the pregnacy weight first?
