Poo, boobs and period questions! ;)

Hiding · Jan 4th, 2010, 04:51 AM

I think one of my questions has been answered by reading a post on here - I have real urgency when needing a poo! I can have a wee and have no urge, then a few minutes later I will need to poo and need to do so like NOW (poor hubby keeps getting chucked out of the shower half wet so I can go!!). In the other post I read, this can happen and just correct itself over a few months right? Please tell me I will regain control over my bowels??!!

Boobs - I fed my son for 6 weeks (with a shield and through expressing). My boobs are now empty - and look HORRIBLE. After sleeping with hubby the other night I had a big cry as I felt so unattractive

They are just floppy and soft - they literally look empty. Do they ever go back to how they were? Someone told me they firm up again after a few months - is this true?

Periods - I still havent had one!! Is this normal?

Thanks in advance

I stopped breastfeeding almost 5 months ago, and my boobs are the same as when we stopped. Everyone is different though x

Can't help with the poo issue.

Boobs- I've heard they sag after breastfeeding. I think that's just the way it is. I've never really heard anyone saying it goes back to normal after a few months. But that would definately be nice!!

Period- Emma will be 5 months in a week and I still haven't had a period.

Poo - I do get the urge very suddenly too, and Jake is almost 3 months now

Boobs - Mine are saggier than before (I breastfed for a few weeks got mastitis) they are also covered in stretchmarks from the severe swelling they did

Im not THAT bothered yet, a little gutted but a nice bra can resolve the unattractive feeling.

Period - I had my first one about a week ago, really heavy but not painful (always used to be really painful). So, u sound completely normal to me, everybody is different and I dont think its easy to tell what is right in ur body or wrong at this stage after birth (annoying!).

Thanks for the replies girls.

One problem is solved - got my first period yesterday! Kind of glad to be getting back to normal though not had one for 11 months which was soooo nice!

I suppose after being left at the pushing stage for FIVE hours, some bottom problems are to be expected eh? My poor bum!!

And I'm going to be proactive with the boobs and get back to swimming and tone up

Now I just need to find the time to actually get to the pool!!!

Thanks again

i didnt know that your boobs go back to the original size. When my mum was preggers with me she was smallish and then went to a size DD and she stayed that size when she had me and still is to this day. So i always thought you just had the same size you had during pregnancy lol. On the up side though ladies its a good escuse to go out a buy a really nice sexy bra to help you feel better about yourselves

Im sure i will be making a trip to lazenza or anne summers in an attempt to make myself feel better hehee

My boobs never went back to their original size, I BF for 4 months and went from a B/C cup to DD - OH is very pleased!

brandonsgirl · Jan 14th, 2010, 04:44 AM

maybe its just DD's that dont go back to the original size lol

Lol least there is hope that boobs may not shrink
