Am I the only one who feels like shit about how destroyed my body is after giving birth. I'm one month and a week in on post birth and I still look the same. Seems like my weight stopped decreasing and I hate myself so much. My partner doesn't understand shit. :'( can someone plz give me advice :( or uplifting messeges or words of encouragement plz. When I told my mom about me wanting to lose the the post birth weight she said "sorry sucks but your ruined, your gonna look like that forever babies ruin u it's just life" :'( so made nothing better

I'm feeling the same ... Before I got pregnant, I had lost 70 lbs. I was working out and eating better and now all the hard work seems like it was a waste. My partner gave me the best encouragement. He said babe it took 9 months to grow our son. Be kind to yourself. You will be back in shape. It just takes time. Give yourself a break and don't be so hard on yourself. Set realistic goals. We can do this!!! And your mom is wrong! You're going to get your body back it just takes time. You are beautiful ❤️

thank you :'( that's so awesome you have a good partner by your side who understands. Mine doesn't understand shit and when I do try n talk to him about it he gets upset as if I'm wrong for feeling this way. Idk what to do. Hell ignore me and gohst me and let me feel like shit and then he'll get mad at me for not coddling to his needs. Like make that make sense! Anyway I'm just desperate to speak to someone about it

Your body won't ever be the same, but that doesn't mean you won't lose the weight either. I'm in the same boat as you, just started a breastfeeding weightloss journey hopefully it works 😊 But you got this you'll lose the weight it'll take time.

How much weight did everyone lose after giving birth? I just had my baby shower and the pictures people took of me were horrific to look at. I’m at my heaviest weight and I’ve never wanted to give birth so bad so I can start either mounjaro or ozempic and lose all this weight. I’m really struggling with body image rn

I lost all my pregnancy weight the first time … it took about 4 months. So this time I plan on doing the same 😊 and it took that long because I was pretty sore afterwords so I wasn’t as active as I wanted to be.

Remember that you are probably swollen also! In my experience, I always look swollen the last few weeks and even worse after giving birth. After the first 2 weeks-1 month I drop a lot of weight and look a lot less swollen.

I see how some women lose a lot of weight after giving birth. I literally have no appetite at all and have to force myself to eat so I can pump milk. I literally spend most of my day sleeping..

How much did you baby weigh at birth? Did you baby lose any weight while in the hospital or when you brought baby home? Did you have a girl or boy? My baby girl came out weighing 7lbs 4oz. Lost 4oz while in the hospital, but gained it back before we left the hospital.
