I've just given birth and I feel and look like a total fatty :( moms is there any hope of ever losing this weight? Can any of you moms out there share with me your pre and post pregnancy pictures to give me some hope? #fatcow #lostallhope #thin-spiration

Hello. I will be very frank and share w u what I know and experienced. I gave birth recently - 4months ago, and I feel exactly like u or maybe even more. I gained 25+kg over the whole pregnancy, my baby is normal size and the last few wks Doctor still ask me to eat more as baby not gaining weight enough - I had additional 2 eggs a day. Note that I not the kind who eat more, I eat the same during pregnancy as before, it might have been due to medicines I took I was athletic and model figure before pregnant - so my mirror reflection is a major disturbance to me, and I was seriously overweight (unhealthy fat percentage abt 45%) with water retention too. My best friend who was pregnant and gained a lot like me and gave birth at the same time as me - lost that weight within 2 months frm birth through breast feeding and I was still big. I am very blessed to have the financial means to go to Marie France which has helped me lost 9kg in 2 months. One thing I regretted is all the big rice portion during confinement - so avoid that! Ur body has enough store to make the fat in the milk it needs, especially if u gained quite a bit. There are: - exercise bootcamps - some are under "Herbalife" or other drinks stuff, some are just exercise bootcamp (I am going to a exercise only - u can contact me) - price range abt $15-35/session - swimming is ur best bet now - uses more(almost twice) energy for the same time of workout as compared to running - of Caz those replacement meal, "nice" "healthy" drink like Herbalife and nuskin etc - I personally don't like, but it's up to u It's really a in and out balance maths thing. Breastfeeding may help u slim down but u gota resist the urge to eat more as it makes some pple hungry. U can observe how it works for ur body. Once u are cleared for exercise, go for it. Jog w ur husband. Push stroller for morning walk or after dinner walk. Some people find signing up for a run will motivate them more

So afraid my body will be ugly after I give birth

I am a FTM, currently at 32 weeks pregnant. My anxieties are many, from the act of labour, to being a good mother, to the recovery after birth, to new dynamics between my husband and I, to a more selfish one: will my body be ugly after birth? I have done my research and there are definitely many ways to have your body heal and put back together (somewhat), but many of the changes are irreversible. And while I hear many moms say "they are your battle scars, be proud of them", I don't know if I will ever look at my body and be confident ever again and not everybody will agree. Of course it's a different issue if you have plenty of money and can go have these things fixed, but most of us don't have that luxury. I am just ranting here, sharing a little bit of my anxiety. But please feel free to give your 2 cents if you have advice or feel the same way I do. #FTM #firstbaby #firsttimemom #stretchmark #fatcow #flabby #saggy #Hairloss

I think I’m considered “young” when I became a mom? (I was 24) No money as well so not many things can get fixed. However there really isn’t anything to fix. I gained 18kg during my pregnancy, I’ve never went past 47kg in my entire 20 years of life, imagine how devastated I was when I hit 61kg before I gave birth. I thought I could avoid stretch marks but what’s new? It started appearing at week 38. Nothing changed, except that I put on lots of weight and gained a few stretch marks. I spent 8 months (no dieting, , no exercise, just breastfeeding) to get back to shape (42kg). My stretch marks have lighten and since I’m not a bikini/crop top person, it didn’t affect me much. I forgot which month PP hair loss was at its peak, I was shedding like a husky (I didn’t use any hair loss shampoo or whatsoever since it’s a process I can’t escape), few months after, my hair started growing back on its own. You gave birth to a life, if your husband finds your stretchmark ugly, you probably need to change that dude. I am currently 20 months PP and everything has pretty much went to back to how it was prepregnancy (other than the lighten stretch marks). If I don’t bring my kid, no one will know I have a child cause I don’t look like a mom 😂. Don’t feel negative about your body, you’ve done a great job. Give your body time to heal and go back to how it was. You took 9 months to expand, give it the same time or slightly more to go back. Pamper yourself if you need to. You deserve it! 🫶🏻🙌🏻
