Ugh yesss I’m 4 months pp

Absolutely. I weigh less than I did after my first baby, but with my second I had a c section and my body shape is different, and I have apron belly now and I hate it! Also like zero self confidence in these damn nursing and pumping bras. Ive always been heavy chested and they have zero support, and it makes my entire body feel frumpy

Yes… I have 2 under 2 with our last one being 2 1/2 months and struggle to look at myself in the mirror… I tried to buy jeans thinking they’d be stretchy enough but nothing is fitting. I’m about to just give up on trying to buy clothes ever again…

I used to be really in shape and I thought I was really strong, now I can’t even pick up a case of water… I want to get back into shape but we plan on having another daughter in a year so I feel like I’m gonna put in hard work and stress over something that’s going to be gone in close to a year.

Yes I’m 3 months and it’s still hard to wear some outfits

6mos pp and yes me too. I acknowledge that I wasn't really in the best shape before and although im breastfeeding, i got back to my preconception weight within 3mos. BUT the stretchmarks just get to me... yes everyone says tiger marks or bub's first drawing for us (i'm blessed to have them) but it doesn't mean i can not feel insecure with new dark stretchmarks just all around. Yeah i'm back to my original weight but yuck i hate my flappy bloated belly. Mirror and clothes r my biggest enemies atm.

Yes I am 1 year and 2 months post partparm

Yessss

Find me one person that didn’t struggle with their PP body…. I’ll wait 😂. Give yourself TIME.

Nappy changing help

So we only have this problem at night and it’s only a recent thing. So my son has been feeding a lot at night. Every 2 hours or so and completely emptying both sides before going back to sleep. This means his nappies at every wake up are extremely full. Every time I change him he pees or there is so much in the nappy it ends up all over his back and I have to change his clothes. I have tried a tissue over, I’ve tried putting the new nappy on and pulling the old one from under it (I guess like the knicker trick some of you may have done as kids) and it is still everywhere. I’m already exhausted getting up so often and having to do a full clothing change at night is a nightmare… please help!

Insomnia

Anyone is struggling with sleep at night because of the kicking? Can’t sleep on either side and I can’t seem to stop the baby kicking

3 weeks pp no sleep

3 weeks pp almost 4, haven’t ate a full meal since I was in labor, haven’t showered in days, haven’t washed my hair in weeks, most importantly haven’t slept. Dad lives in another state I want just a small break even if it’s 1 full day and 1 full night of sleep.. idk how to ask for help

My 3 week old cries all night I’m just so tired..

Aldi baby event

Is there anything worth getting from Aldi at their baby event for a first time mum?
Not sure whether any of it is good/worth it
Thank you xx
