Ha ha!! I don't know how else to say this but I delivered 22 days ago and
#1 - Have not weighed myself
#2- Have not looked down there... (There was a PP that suggested not looking down there for a while...)
ANYWAY I am posting this and just curious to know how you ladies are feeling 22 days Post Pardum and if everything is going back to normal...

Re: Am I the onbly one who has not "LOOKED"
I am 25 days pp, and I have not looked down there, either. I have felt around down there, and that was scary enough.
I've weighed myself, but not daily or obsessively by any means. I'm not even going to worry about the number on the scale until at least my 6 week follow-up, when I can talk to my doctor about a diet & exercise plan.
I looked the day I had him! lol I couldn't help myself cause I kept asking dh what it looked like and wanted to check it out. It just looked VERY swollen and well sorta pushed out! Now it looks exactly the same as pre pregnancy. I had zero stitches and only very minor 1st degree tears though. I couldn't even see them when I looked the first time.
I weighed myself when I got home and every so often. Honestly it made me feel better because those first two weeks weight just dropped off for me. Now I am only 5 lbs away.
I had 2 tears on the inside and wanted to know how many stitches I had because no one at the hospital told me...so around 3 days PP I had DH look and count them for me (there were 10 stitches). I didn't want to see, so I just had him describe it, haha. I looked after the 6 week appt when it was all back to normal.
Weighed myself when I got home from the hospital with my jell-o belly...wish I hadn't.
I finally looked about 9 days after DS was born and I cried when I saw it! I was still swollen and healing (2nd degree tear). Now when I look, it looks almost the same as before and I'm not sad at all. So, it's probably good to wait a little while to look!!!
I've been weighing myself almost every day and not upset at all. I lost a ton of weight the first two weeks. I don't have much left to go! DS keeps me so busy that I'm not eating as much and I'm moving around a lot, so the weight is coming right off!
It took me a long time, I had two tears and it was pretty scary looking when I finally did take a peek. It looks a lot better now since the stitches are gone, but yeah...very hard to look without going into shock early on. Stitches just don't belong in such a sensitive area....
The scale; I was on that when I got home from the hospital, I was curious to know how much weight I lost from giving birth...10lbs.
I was back on the scale one week after I gave birth, I just had to know! It took 4 weeks to shed all the Pregnancy weight.
I had a c/s. It took me until about 7 weeks to finally look at the scar! I added that because nothing happened "down there" for me to look at!
I have weighed myself, only because I can see a big difference in my body and was curious.
I still have not looked. I went for my 4 week pp appointment and the doctor said I was almost all healed, but I'm still not ready to look. Maybe in a couple of weeks.
