Man... After I had Luke I went to the beach and was like "hell yeah I'm rocking a bikini even though I just had a baby and look like I had a baby"
and now 10 months later I'm all "um, I feel like I don't have the excuse any more BC he's 10 months old!"
anyone else feeling the same way? Lol
Re: Can we talk PP bodies?
I still have a linea negra too, which is so weird because it was hardly visible when I was pregnant, then went dark post partum.
If you get the courage, show those bodies off! Tiger stripes and mom bodies are a badge of honor and fact of life. Wouldn't it be awesome if we could normalize this stuff before our daughters went through the same thing?
(Sooo much easier said than done, I know!)
I'll add I still look maybe 6m pregnant in the belly. Absolutely no core strength, here. Almost none of my stuff still fits me. Bleh. I'm slowly accruing new clothes that fit me now instead of trying to 'get back to my old size', tho now that it's warmer I am trying to commit to being more active.
I weigh a bit less than prepregnancy now but I think it's due to lost muscle...I was in killer shape before and haven't worked out regularly since DD was inside of me. I'm a bit of a monet right now (from a distance its OK but up close its a big old mess)...haha. once I wean from pumping I'm taking those 2 hours of my day and using them to get back in the gym. Probably just in time to get pregnant again, but whatever.
I only own bikinis and refuse to buy new suits for temporary use, so bikini it is.
My linea nigra is still there too. I don't think it's going any where.
