I always thought it is the other way round. Since so many people are confirmed and leave church as an adult, they started to controll the godparents before the christening. From my experience the priest asks for the certificates of christening and confirmation (each a copy of the church book).
In Germany, catholic priests don't only marry and christen people in the church which belongs to the parish they live in. A priest told me, that they do that, because it doesn't matter if the church belongs to your parish, as they are glad, that people are still married in church and still let their children be christened in church.
I met a friend yesterday, who gave birth two weeks ago, and I can assure you, that there was no loose skin, but definetly still a belly.
