Hey mommies, I just need to vent a little. Today we were about to go out to dinner and I put a dress on and looked in the mirror, thinking I looked a little big and as if I were still pregnant but then I brushed it off and said I'm just being too hard on myself and it's normal at 5 weeks post partum. I went into the living room and hubby jokingly said "oh hey you're expecting again". I knew he didn't mean it and didn't really think before saying it, but he could tell it hurt me and immediately felt terrible and apologized. I told him my self esteem is something I've really been struggling with and that it hurt me because that's exactly what I said about myself when I looked in the mirror. I've never seen him regret his words so much. I love him and of course I forgive him, I know he would never try to hurt me and he is probably beating himself up over this. But I just can't stop thinking about it. I keep hearing it again in my head and my heart is sinking. How do I get over this and just forget it all happened? Having a tough time with this due to PPD :/

I understand dealing with a whole new body is extremely hard on self esteem. I had my daughter when I was 17yrs old she is now almost 3yrs old. For three yrs I have been embarrassed about my body in so many ways. The stretch marks, the flabby belly, the saggy boobs, the love handles. I swear I had a perfect body before I had her. I tried everything stretch mark cream, tightening cream, waist trainer, boob work outs. I won't lie and say it don't bother me but I will say you are not alone and 95% of women go thru what we go thru they just never talk about it with other women. So just know your not at all alone!
Ok first off if that's you in the last post holy shit you look amaze balls dude I wish I looked as good as you do postpartum I still look about 4 months pregnant and no matter what I do I'll always have a flap fold from my c section my stomach will never be flat again so I've given up on losing weight but you look A M A M Z I N G ! ! ! 😍 I'm here for you if you wanna talk
Yasss ladies!!! I'm 28 & was bigger than ever starting this second pregnancy. I was tiny my (compared to now lol) last pregnancy. You just work on what you want to work on with your body but also learn to love it. You carried a life inside of you! That's a beautiful miracle! Be proud of all the ways pregnancy shaped you. You're a mommy and that's amazing. Another thing that may help with confidence if you're feeling low could be to buy a shaper from Walmart or something. I used to wear them all the time after my pregnancy. It just holds in the belly a bit and feels like a hug. :-)
