Your body after LO..

Soon2bMrs.German

Is anyone feeling like they will never look the same after having LO?? I got sad and depressed today looking in the mirror.. My belly is all flabby and my boobs are down to my knees...  I keep asking DH if he will ever find me sexy again..lol of course he says he does...  but I just dont feel good about myself

Just needed to vent..thanks

It sucks, doesn't it?

FWIW, your precious daughter is still really new and your body is still changing.  While it may not be exactly the way it was pre-pregnancy, it will get better!  And listen to your husband, he sounds like a good man!

Your body may or may not go back to how it was, but 2w is too soon to think it'll be right back to normal.  My boobs have ventured south a bit, but my DH doesn't seem to care (he loves all boobs, doesn't matter if they're big or small, high or low), but I do plan to have them lifted when I'm finished nursing.  I did WW after my first was born and ended up about 15 pounds lower than my pre-pg weight and was a size or two smaller, this time it hasn't been so easy yet.  IMO do something to make yourself feel better, I feel so much better about myself when I fix my hair and put on makeup, especially with my post-pg body right now.

this! You are not even 3w pp yet, give your body some time. I don't think it will ever be the same as before but after 5m I'm feeling a lot better about it. I can't say I'm ready for the bikini, haven't worked out in 3 months, but my clothes fit fine and I'm almost a pound below my pre-pg weight. Give it time and if you can, work out! It will boost your confidence AND your energy.

Give yourself a little time. I felt MUCH better about my body after 6wks postpartum. My belly is starting to firm up and I have even lost some pre-preg weight, weighing less than I did when I got married!

It has taken me 10 months to feel 'normal' again-- but I still don't fit most of my pre-pregnancy clothes.  My shape is different.  I feel that I am still adjusting to this new 'me'.  My stretch marks are fading nicely though...

This is not meant to be snarky, but you are only 3 weeks pp.  Give it some time.
