Alright I know we are all new moms...

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months
I know that we all just had babies but I guess I need to vent to someone other than my hubby.  This is my second child and with my first I was able to fit in to my pants (one size bigger than before pregnancy) this time I am 2 sizes bigger than pre-pregnancy.  I just feel very depressed about this and I know it takes 9 months to grow a baby and your body changes but for some reason even though I know this I am still having a very hard time with this.  Being pregnant is a beautiful thing but now that my little one is here when I see myself I am just disgusted with what I see.  With my first preg. not alot of people said anything about how big my tummy looked or anything but this time it was a daily thing and it just made me upset....I was growing a baby come on people!  Any one else feel this way?  ugh...

    Tell them to suck it!! you're lucky that your only 2 sizes bigger. I'm in the same jeans I fit into at 8 months. My stomach is remotely smaller just jiggly and flabby. Once I heal up completely spanx will be my best friend.

    Tell them that you just had a baby. You have to give yourself time to adjust. Ds is 4 months now and I am still about 15 lbs over my prepregnancy weight and in pants 2 sizes bigger. Am I happy about that? No, but it will take time.

    I agree with PP.... People need to lay off you, you grew a child. However, I understand where you are coming from and I am going through the same thing. My milk dried up and when that happened my weight loss stopped dead in its tracks. I am currently on a hardcore diet and have lost 3 lbs (14 to go) and I am trying so hard. Hang in there, don't be too hard on yourself, and if you need to wear maternity jeans to be comfortable, do it.

    If people are saying things out of malice than you should say something to them. I don't understand why people have to make rude comments. Everyone's body handles pregnancy and recovery differently and it takes everyone different amounts of time to recover.

    I am convinced my body won't every be exactly the same and I am OK with that. Try to stay positive and ignore rude people (I know this is hard to do).
