@serenity13 congrats!!! I LOVE that photo you posted!!! Hope you're enjoying all sorts of baby cuddles.
@cbeanz congrats on the PP workout. Can't wait to be soon behind you
@kjd291 I love the photo comparison. Although I still have progress I want to make, it's amazing how our bodies really do shrink so much on their own after growing for so long. Our bodies are truly amazing
@jenny0228 I'm SO glad you finally get to go home today!! Woohoo!!
how do you ladies find out about the ab seperation? Did a health professional Chex for you? Or is it something you can check on your own?
Guys, my MIL leaves later today, and we'll officially be on our own, just the three of us. Me, DH and DS. Although I'm nervous about being home alone during the day next week, I'm really excited to be able to have time with just DH again.
CONGRATS @serenity13 !!!!!! So happy to hear that your sweet boy is here and that all went well!! That pic of him looking up at you is absolutely priceless. YAY !!!!! Enjoy this time!!!!
@serenity13 congratulations!!!! Chase is so perfect! The picture of him on your chest looking like he is smiling is so beautiful !! Great job mama!! Hope you're recovering well, he's finally here!!
Thank you so much ladies!!! I know, that's the first photo of us together & although I look like crap I still love it & his little smile! I'm gonna start our 4th feeding in about half an hour, he's a great little eater! He's sound asleep right now Recovery is gonna be tough I think until the bleeding eases over the next few days, I'm so sore so I've taken some motrin. Also I can't even recognize myself in the mirror from my face blowing up with all the swelling lol so hopefully that'll go down soon too.
@serenity13 yay for outside baby!!!! Chase is SO adorable! As others have said that photo is so precious! The IV fluid swelling is the worst-but it'll disappear eventually! Rest up and enjoy those baby cuddles!!
Oh and- @npaulie (I'm not sure I'm doing it 100% correctly!! So i need to ask my midwife) from what I found through google (hah) you lay on your back with one hand behind your head, lift head off the ground engaging core, other hand fingers down at belly button and push in. I guess one finger separation is not concerning and normal- 2-3 is mild, 4+ is severe. I *think* I have 2fingers? But can't tell if it is or is just the "normal" separation. We'll see!!
Ooooooh my goodness!! I did what you said @kjd291 and I was doing it wrong (I was checking higher abs not at belly button) mine has to be a 3-4. Guess I need to talk to someone... ugh. And doing more research it's wild what exercises make it worse! (Planks, crunches etc) Yikes!
Thank goodness I noticed. I wasn't even checking I NEVER thought about it. I was just laying down on my back in a bra only and when I went to get up I noticed that my belly shape looked a little odd.
@vino831 I hope for your sake you are still doing it wrong and it's nothing! Haha. But if it is-glad you're aware so you can focus on exercises to help!
