There is a balance between genetic predisposition and taking care of yourself while pregnant and afterwards.
Saggy skin, stretch marks, and changed boobs are genetic. The stretch marks happen on a deep layer of skin that no lotion or Vitamin E can even reach. Saggy skin and boobs are not due to being overweight and out of shape.
That being said, a woman can generally maintain a healthy weight while pregnant, be active, and bounce back a lot quicker afterward. BUT it's certainly not easy to be that disciplined while you have an alien in your belly sucking the life out of you.
I consider myself lucky to look the way I do after 2 children. I've always been petite and work out when I need to and I have an active dating life. But I can still point out all the things that pregnancy changed on my body.
