I feel that my self-esteem has lessened because of my weight gain. I am happy with my baby, but everytime I look at the mirror and see that my physical appearance has changed, it really affects me. Does anyone here experience this too? How do we moms cope with this change in our body?

It's very normal for women to feel some insecurities especially after giving birth and you see yourself gaining weight. For me, I really don't focus anymore on the negative side of it. Honestly, I am aware how my appearance has changed but I would say my self-esteem is still the same. I'm the person who doesn't really mind what other people might think or say about me. I don't even go on a diet nor put any make up when going out. I let them think whatever they want as long as I'm happy having my kids around. lol
