I guess this may sound stupid to some but I'd really like to know that im not alone. My son is 11 weeks old today. Before he was born I was so confident with myself and I told myself I'd never be upset about my post baby body because everyone goes through it and it's a truly beautiful experience. The older he's getting the worse im feeling about myself. I know I'm not "fat", I just have some weight to lose and toning to do. But I just feel so down about myself. I feel disgusting. And my biggest concern is my boobs. They just look so different
I feel like such an idiot complaining about this but I just can't seem to shake this feeling. I feel so unattractive and bad about myself. Does anyone feel this way? Do boobs ever go back at least a little bit? My SO and I still haven't had sex yet and I think it's mostly because I feel gross.Ugh, anyone?

After I got my IUD, it took another week before I could even THINK about getting intimate with him. I felt I needed to prepare and pamper myself. I got my hair cut and nails done, then I saved up enough pumped milk for MIL to be able to take baby for the night. Everything else happened organically.
If you are struggling, your SO needs to be your crutch. Like PP have said there are few circumstances that would result in getting your pre-preggo body back in three months, but that is no reason to not be happy with yourself. Feel pretty in every other way you can until you find the time to work on your body.
For me, the tough thing is that my DH and I are having some disagreements about how often he is out with friends. (At least 4 nights every week, well past midnight. Sometimes every single night). This wasn't a problem with the first kid, but with this kid, it's like every time I look in the mirror, I think "No wonder he doesn't have a huge desire to stay home...." Also no sex yet.
So yeah, I'm right there with you! Don't worry. I have faith that this will all pass in a few months....
I'm an extreme mess with my self esteem. It's at a complete 0 right now.
Are you talking about the windstorm from November? We didn't have power for about 3 days, lost some shingles and a branch but honestly we had it good compared to others. @Brookerose978
