When did you start to feel normal

Between a year and 18 months I’d say. By 18 months I’d lost my baby weight, felt a bit better in myself, had gone back to work so wasn’t just mum all day. I felt more like Yasmin not just Finley’s mum.

It gets better I promise ❤️

I felt more normal when I returned to work after 9 months. I think it's because I'm not just mum there x

Haven't had a c section...but other that ticking all the boxes, sis...

My self confidence so low, so much baby weight, don't feel comfortable in me body so reflects on intimacy with partner, although he doesn't care.
Is all in my head :)

It was probably around 12-18 months. After I’d gone back to work and after I’d used a sleep consultant and was getting better sleep every night tbh.
I’m 5mpp now and I barely recognise myself atm. I know sleep has the most impact on how I feel, physically and mentally. I’m just trying to get through it by telling myself it will all level out some time soon x

I started working on myself, getting a bit of me back, demanding my time w friends time for hobbies and time for me, at around 4-5m. That’s the start though, putting some goals in place and starting my social life back up. I really didn’t feel totally like myself until about 14m, I’d lost all my baby weight I was looking for something more than Pilates/zumba which I’ve been doing since 4m so after a year of that I was “bored”, it wasn’t challenging me anymore, I was looking for a heels class at first but stumbled on free salsa/bachata lessons and that’s what brought me back totally I think, and more. My confidence surged from there, I had something for myself to dress up and go to on a Friday night now that he slept through since 18m. It takes average 1-2yrs for mums to feel fully themselves. It took me 2 summers pp to be confident in a bikini/revealing dresses again.
