So sick of my postpartum body

When does it get easier to feel confident- I was 130 before pregnancy now I’m 7 months postpartum and 180. This is me currently. I struggled with body dysmorphia before and now I feel like maybe it’s happening again? Idk. My fiancé says I look fine but I feel so embarrassed to even go out in public. My double chin and arms make me feel terrible.

38 weeks practice labour

Hey loves, I feel like I am stopping and starting labour all the time haha. I wanted spontaneous labour but this has been going on for the last week. Although the last few days things feel like they ramping up. I went into docs for reduced movements last week and they told me that there was loads of tightenings so could be braxton hicks or labour. Last night I was having tightenings which I could feel coming and would end quite low down. No constancy though. Feeling so much pain down there and it's super heavy. Lightening croch is also a different level of pain. I'm so excited for baby. Anything else got the same thing going on? How are you all feeling?

Not hungry/craving food in my second tri.

Hi! 👋 I wanted to hear everyone else’s experiences 😊

I’m 19 weeks pregnant with my first baby, and I’m a HUGE foodie. But for the last couple of weeks, I just haven’t felt particularly hungry and I haven’t had any cravings yet.

I’m a little surprised because I always hear mums talking about how their appetite went crazy during pregnancy or how they suddenly craved the most random things 😂 I’ve also had people tell me that maybe I’m not craving anything because I’m not deficient in anything, but I’m not sure how true that is.

I need to force myself and eat. I still kinda enjoy it and eat to proper amount but I’m just not interested???

I’m not nauseous anymore either, that stopped after my first trimester.

Did anyone else have a similar experience around 19 weeks? Did the big appetite and cravings come later, or did you just never really get them?
