re: How did you feel 6 weeks post partum?

I was tiny before pregnancy though. My hips widened like you wouldn't believe and I STILL couldn't deliver vaginally! She was turned at a weird angle and I wouldn't dilate past a 9.5. Grr.

One day I may fit into my size 0's again, but considering I can't even fit into a 3 now and am still wearing maternity jeans, I'm highly doubting it! Lol

Haha, aww. I'm sorry.  

Sometimes I find it really hard to cope with the changes my body endured through the pregnancy and birth. I know my son is well worth it and I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat for him if I had to. But the part of me that wants to build my self-confidence up and be proud of my appearance has taken a real blow. It's not necessarily terrible - although some days that's what my eyes want me to believe - but it's different. I feel like a stranger in my own skin, y'know? This isn't the body I knew.

Aahh well, can't dwell on it. What's done is done. Just like to pout about it sometimes, heh.

I understand completely! It makes me really sad seeing all my PP clothes that are soooo cute and even though I can fit in most of the shirts, they aren't exactly ide for breastfeeding. And, my boobs don't fit so well in the x-small shirts. Lol!

I'm like you though, I would do it over in a heartbeat. I love this little girl so much, it's unreal! I just have a mom body now.   And my baby doesn't care about my body, she only cares about how much I love her. That's what matters!

This! Except I'm back in my pre pregnancy clothes and have been since 1 day pp still up 5 lbs tho that I don't want to lose. My LO is 3 weeks now and I still feel amazing. I lucked out.
