I dislike how “normalized” this whole snap-back after a baby has become.. let yourself heal. It’s not a competition at all. We are all beautiful!!! 💕
Some people work hard to get back to their pre baby weight, and other have great genes and don’t have to do much work. But we are alllllll amazing just the way we are🥰

I definitely felt down like I need to get back into shape , not realizing I was only 1 week pp lol but since then breastfeeding has done the trick so I don’t stress it anymore I lost 23 lbs in 3 weeks

Thanks for this reminder . I had to do invitro to conceive and with all the added hormones on top of pregnancy I have more weight than I’m used to. I’m still breast feeding and need to still eat a lot to maintain energy and I starting thinking about when I’ll lose the weight . This is a good reminder that I’m still recovering and healing and that I don’t HAVE TO BE back to my original size right away after baby.

Yes! Take your time! Heal completely. Enjoy the time with your sweet baby boy you dreamed of. No rush into “looking” a certain way. You’re beautiful! You’re amazing! Never forget! ❤️

It takes your insides 7 years to go back into their exact place after birth! My hips will never fit into size 1 jeans again and that’s okay! I don’t know how some people are back in the gym by 2 weeks pp when I couldn’t even shower 😅
I have never been a size one in my life. And with my first I had a 3 month healing time before I could even start going on walks after giving birth. But with my second I felt well enough the same night I had her to walk, and if I had help with my girls, I would have started working out immediately upon going home- I even had the doctor's ok. With the first my tearing was bad. With the second I didn't even have bruising down there bc she came so fast. So it is possible. I think the problem is people having unrealistic expectations of themselves or wanting to work out for someone else and not themselves. I've always hated that. But for people who generally care about themselves there is nothing wrong with working hard to look and feel good. Honestly, I wish more people would care about their health from a working out perspective. Men and women alike. I wish I knew someone who I could work out with. I am unable to work out alone so it is taking much longer to feel healthy and baby is 10 months. Accepting oneself is the most important thing but I think some of us make such a go at fake confidence that we sacrifice our health in the name of "being ok" with our new look instead of even trying to do better. If only there were any easy answer to finding the middle ground on this.

I’ll be fine with my body as long as I can sleep on my belly again 😂😂😂

I missed that so much when I was 🤰🏻

I made a whole big post about it and included a pic comparison that shows I had a flat stomach and now it's soft with stretch marks and that's ok as fuck. I don't have time or energy to make getting a "perfect body" back my priority 🙄
@girlymamaa, this gave me anxiety! Do I want some what of my body back yes! But I had a csection and couldn’t work out for months 😬
XМама дочки (1 год)
@michellemybell09, it’s so scary! I had a cesarean as well! I didn’t try working out until like 6months PP. I was fine with that! I didn’t care for my appearance!
@girlymamaa, exactly! Healing was my first priority

@girlymamaa just curious. They just finished discussing this exact thing.

@pettybetty, interesting

I agree completely!!! It took me a long time but I am truly happy with my body now. My stomach is nothing like it used to be and that’s ok because I have amazing boys who I did it for!!!
XМама дочки (1 год)
That’s the positive energy that everyone should have! 😁

@girlymamaa, thanks!!!
JosephineМама дочки (3 года)
AGREED.
I sit my lazy ass down and enjoy every minute of my newborn. I have good genes tho eventually I get back to prepregnancy weight. But even if I didn’t. I wouldn’t mind an extra bit of poundage, have more of a womanly body.
Harley Quinn Мама двоих (младенец)
YES.
This. It annoys me so much to see women punishing themselves for creating a baby. I wish I still looked like I did in high school, but you know what, I had two beautiful babies. I’d rather be HEALTHY than anything
XМама дочки (1 год)
It’s sad. Health should come before your appearance! Either way, we have to remind ourselves that we’re beautiful mamas!
Harley Quinn Мама двоих (младенец)
@girlymamaa, yes 100%. I don’t care if I’m skinny any more as long as I’m not afraid to go to the doctors for things I could have prevented.

This is very true! The media has made a lot of women think there’s something wrong with them if they aren’t a size 2 after 6 weeks.
XМама дочки (1 год)
YES. It’s terrible! I know someone who’s c section scar has re opened because she thought her body wasn’t what was expected of her after being 2 months PP. 😔

I needed to see this right now, you don’t even know how much you just helped
XМама дочки (1 год)
💕💗 I’m so glad I helped! I needed to hear this a year ago and I beat myself up. You’re beautiful! ❤️

@girlymamaa, thank you so much ❣️
We all have a different definition of “clean”🤢
I wish.... There was a place all of us could bring our May babies to play with each other, so our babies could have some great friends, like we all have in this group :)))
We are having a debate at work.... Should you pick up hitchhikers?
❗ ❗ WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES ❗ ❗ Thank you EVERYONE for all your kind words and prayers throughout this journey, but unfortunately Ethan did not make it today. We appreciate those who have and will reach out to us, but please be understanding if we don’t get back to you, as we will be absorbing this tragedy and planning arrangements for our baby. Extra big hugs and thanks for those of you that have helped us even a little during the times we needed it most. ❤
need suggestions.... So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
