Need help!!

Hello mamas!! I am sure many of moms are struggling just like i am. After having baby i am just gaining weight. My baby girl is 6months old. I feel hungry more often than i used to. I never liked sweet stuff but now i am craving everyday. My cholesterol is so high. I am walking hour and running half hour everyday still i am gaining weight now sure what to do to loose weight. After spending whole day with baby and household chore and working our little bit. I see no improvement. I am eating sweets only once a week and eating healthy food too. No outside food. And i try to skip or keep my lunch proportion as small as i can. I hate looking myself in mirror. I have lost self esteem, lost no confidence, nothing fits me or looks good on me. I am not good at fashion or i am not good at choosing stylish clothes. If you guys can give me some idea for styles i would appreciate. Sorry i know i am whinny but i started feeling depressed about it now

I feel you momma. I gained over 100lbs durning my pregnancy and it seems like it’s never gonna go away. I am just now being able to loose something but for the past 6 months it’s been very fluctuating. Just remember you made a whole human and your body did what it had to bring her here. Idk if your into medication but I know there’s things you can take to help lower your appetite or there are even vitamins for that! You did a beautiful thing and that makes you a beautiful woman right there 🫶🏾

Hi! Well done for putting so much effort into trying to lose weight! You are setting the right foundation and I’m sure you will start seeing results soon ❤️ I’ve found two set pieces like this one cute, comfortable, convenient for breastfeeding and stylish - https://a.co/d/5ckbDuE. I have them in shorts and pants sets and they’ve been an absolute lifesaver for me

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Anyone getting a private scan at exactly 6weeks

I just wanna know my baby is actually there after losing my first at 5w
