Postpartum Body

Was anyone else as worried as I am about losing my pregnancy weight? My LO is 6 weeks . It seems so scary now that I won’t get back my flat stomach before pregnancy. It feels so weird when I dress to go outside. My confidence is so shattered 💔

Hey ! I was only 120 pounds before pregnancy...I carried small and was 170 after pregnancy at first I hated it nothing could fit and I felt ugly af!

Buttt my baby is now 6 months and I am at 140..breast feeding helped getting the weight down but honestly I still have a pudgy tummy and stretch marks..my mom helped me realize that switching my clothes to my right size will make me feel better and it honestly did! I'm still finding clothes that fit me good and make me feel comfortable but it brings my confidence back having things on that doesn't stuff me up ! You just had a baby give yourself some grace mama! You will get your pink back you got this! P.s as they get older it gets easier..more time for you to focus on you!

I gained so much weight while pregnant and I’m working it off now, but it’s hard. Please give yourself some grace. You created one entire new human, after all!

Iron infusion while pregnant

I have had an issue with my iron levels for a very long time.

I'm 34 weeks pregnant and finally docs have recommended I have iron infusions. But I'm started to read up on the process and now im so scared.

Have you ever had an infusion before?
What was your experience?
Is is safe to do while pregnant?

Baby’s stomach not growing

I’m 33 weeks & 5 days. We’ve had issues with baby girls tummy growth which a few weeks ago went from 25%> 23% within two weeks apart. It is now at 4% and I’m being referred to the fetal monitoring unit.

Has anyone else had their babies tummy’s not grow? What were the causes? Any outcomes? Literally anxious and racking my head as to why.

Worth mentioning I am aware it could be the placenta but I’m super concerned? Like will she need to come early? I need to know all outcomes to be prepped

Giving birth!

Hey mamas! I been seeing so many different answers on tiktok so I wanted to ask here. For your first pregnancy when did you actually give birth or when did your water break? Or if you had it broke by the doctor. I’m just nosey but I also wanna be prepared when it happens to me lol. I’m 36 weeks tomorrow!

Labor Q's

How hungry did y'all feel when you were laboring? I know fueling yourself well is crucial during that time. How large was your appetite while in labor? Did you feel like you could eat heavier or lighter foods? Hot versus cold? What did you crave and how often? Did you ever feel nauseous or throw up from a contraction? Or even faint or lightheaded?

I haven't given birth yet but I know how my body responds under stress or I get over heated, adrenaline, not much appetite, can get faint etc so I'm just curious how it was for you? It's hard to imagine for myself having a large appetite for anything heavy and I feel like I would be more peckish instead. I'm trying my best to know what to expect and plan for as the date approaches.

What foods worked well versus not so well? Any recommendations and tips are greatly appreciated! ☺️
