yeah, I understand what you mean about the post. I look at him and think that.. wow, my body took care of him.. feed him, protect him for so long. But I never look at my body and think that. I look at my body and think, "eck it's never going back to normal"

yeah I do the same. I am in awe of my body for doing such a job but I think it is when I see other mums and how great they look. Even though I do try to remind myself that it has only been 6 weeks, and they may have had their kids years ago. I know its irrational and unrealistic of me to expect to look normal so soon, but it does get to me for some reason

We'll all get there eventually. Won't be long before everything slides back into place and we look and feel like our old selves again. Try to keep your chin up, hun. Your LO will be crawling / walking soon and you'll be doing so much, running around after them that you won't be able to NOT get fit again! lol
