Could I feel any more attractive at the moment??!!

WW1 · Jan 19th, 2010, 13:02 PM

I mean really - after 9 months of sickness, stretch marks and the like, I though post pregnancy might be a little more self-esteem friendly - oh how wrong I was. Just a few things to add to the general levels of joy:

A smell of milk at all times (and going in the shower being a military pursuit)

Sitting there with breasts out, expressing like I'm in a dairy

Flabby tummy - stretchmarks ahoy

crying at random things - so red faced and puffy throughout the day

swollen ankles and feet

The lovely stockings to be worn post c section

Constantly feeling so knackered it's like I've got permanent jet lag!

It really is a pleasure!! I keep thinking it's nature's way of ensuring I don't get pg too soon - there's no way DH is going anywhere near me like this!!

Is anyone else out there feeling too damn attractive!

Any other post pregnany occurrences which deserve a mention on this thread?

It's a good job my little girl is so gorgeous - she's worth it!

looooooooooool. After 2 months, I still feel the same. FAT, FAT, FAT. I have a binder wrapped on my abdomen to move this horrible skin from my CS scar. I cant wear any proper shoes as my feet r still swollen, I am always wearing my OH shirts & pjs.

I only have one pants in black that fits (bought them after my delivery). I cant even wear my maternity pants anymore as they r all low waist & hurt my scar badly.

My pale skin is now patched with dark spots, & my face is covered with freckles..

The funny thing is, I didnt have stretch marks on my tummy but on my shoulders..

I have two deep lines on my neck & a double chin..

I feel sooo attractive now, I can go on & on ... lol

the constant smell of sick, double chin, boobs out all the time with lo attached, nursing bra and pjs, definately do it for me, i feel hot....................

strangely my oh still wants to but i just cant get my head into it when i feel like a vomit stinking blob who needs sleep.

Omg yes I feel soooooooooooooooo attractive too-not!! I actually lost weight whilst pregnant and yet my stomach and even a bit of my back is so flabby after??? I feel so frumpy and old..thought a new baby might help me feel a bit younger (I'm 38) but the tiredness and constant aching arms and back make me feel about 70!!!

I didnt have any back pain during my pregnancy, I passed my due date by 10 days, & I was standing on my feet 10 mins before they decided to go for CS after 20 hrs of inducing.

Now I can't even walk properly, & when I hold my LO I'm always sore, & the back pain is killing me.

yeah, I feel 70 too.

The even worse news is that the saggy tummy and stretch marks are still there at 11 weeks.

I got stretchmarks EVERYWHERE whilst pregnant, still 2st heavier than before I started. Thankfully can keep boobs away since abandoning breastfeeding. Downside is I now fail the pen test, and have been getting delightful spots underneath from wearing unsupportive maternity/nursing bras. Hoping for improvement now I'd bought half the contents of the debenhams bra sale - 4 for £23, can't complain. Maybe I could get a female version of Gary Linekers hot body suit to wear under my new sexy bras??

Lol Yep, they don't warn you about this stuff!

Lovely Mummy tummy, 40 sit ups a day (new years resolution) and still it's there!
I am FF now but when I was BF ~ big leaky patches over the bedsheet's and OH being freaked he just rolled onto my boob juice!
My spots came back the joy, the kind that go big and red and last for days
Wearing sick as a new accessory
Wearing my scrappy reserve clothes when the nice ones are covered in sick, the ones that have shrunk in the wash kind of thing!
Only just stopping bleeding, so I made up for the lack of AF over 9 months, cheers!

It will get better and she is more than worth it though!
