Probably won't get much feedback at all if any, but I feel like I'm the only one with diastasis recti. 5 months pp and and nothing has changed. I understand that it takes time and that I grew a life inside of me and that I should be proud of my body and what it went through to bless me with a beautiful perfect, healthy baby, but I can't shake this negative feeling. I try to do things that will help it but it doesn't work. It honestly depresses me even more when I see other people who have just had their babies and are already shrinking back to normal in just a few days/weeks. Like why me. I love my baby to pieces. In fact, I feel extremely guilty for saying anything about it but every ounce of confidence that I've ever had is gone. I feel like I'll never be able to feel good about myself or the way i look again. I'm sorry.😔

And, might I add, I went from 113lbs pre pregnancy to 160lbs at the end...got down to 130lbs a few weeks after birth. I am not bragging, what I am trying to explain is even "skinny" girls like me never really get down to what they were before the pregnancy! My hips are permanently wider, and I have a pooch in my once-flat belly! Embrace the mommy curves, wear those stripes with pride, and love yourself!!!
Don't feel bad, EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT!!! In reality, it takes most women a long time to recover and look and feel normal again! I heard once that it takes 9 months to grow that baby and stretch that belly out, you should give yourself AT LEAST that long to shrink back down. You're doing a wonderful job, you're a beautiful woman and mom, and as long as you feel good and are healthy, there is NO REASON to kill yourself trying to "bounce back".
In all honesty. It's a myth that your body returns to your pre'baby self. The average women doesn't bounce back whether skinny or fat. It comes down to accepting your current body or doing something about. Since I've been fat and thin, I feel comfortable regardless of what I look like, granted it took me awhile to embrace my pregnant self but I don't over think it. Maybe because I'm older? Who knows... Anyhoo. Hope you love yourself regardless of your exterior appearance.
it's okayy *hugs* sometimes, you have to just work harder than others to get yourself back. eat healthy, do a lot of walking, drink a lot of water. in the mornings try warm water with lemon & honey for a little sweetness. during the day you can also do lemon and cucumber in your water :)
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
it took me 3 year's to love myself again. it just takes time sometimes, but I'm sure enough you will!
