Yoga pants and long sweaters 🙈

I understand the frustration. I'm dealing with a similar issue. It's a lot. I'm very insecure about my pooch. So I wear shapewear to reduce my stomach as much as I can. Then I wear yoga pants. And thank goodness it's fall, sweater weather! I bought a pilates bar to start working out inbetween baby cares!

I went from a size 8/10 a size 14/16 💀💀

I'm also very insecure about my body but I'm trying to come to the realization my body will never be the same as before. I live in yoga pants and baggy shirts/sweaters

What if you want to dress up? Like what cut dress is flattering?

Exact same size jump as you! My boobs are non existent as well which makes my pooch seem bigger annoyingly. High waisted jeans and then a flowy top or batwing top.
For dresses, I find the ones that are fitted at the boobs and then are looser on the way down/flow are good. Like a skater dress basically but it loosens higher than the hips if that makes sense

Hey, so I’ve aways been a plus size curvy girl……..so I know how to dress to accentuate the right things and cover up an area you aren’t as excited about!!!

I found the brand “cider” does some brilliantly cut clothes, I’m particular they do a jumpsuit that is incredible and skims completely over the “front curve” you’re referring to!! They kind of touch the skin on your tummy brow the boobs until about an just above the belly button and then hang from there downwards - I don’t know how they do it but they are the best place I’ve found for anything like that, and they’re stuff is still totes cute 🥰🥰!!!

I’ll add a picture of the jumpsuit I’m referring to - hopefully it’ll show ok here………

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!
