Re: moms of NBs - How are we feeling!

9 weeks and doing great, thank god. i havea lot of weight to lose, but i had that before PG (I lost all the PG weight). Wedding rings and shoes still don't fit!

DD is a delight... so alert and happy and sleeping about 7-8 hours a stretch at night, which is awesome.

Re: moms of NBs - How are we feeling!

I just had my 6 week postpartum doctor appointment today and everything is going really good. I lost about 35 pounds so far and only have 5 left to go. I was given the OK today to exercise so I'm looking forward to getting rid of my little pouch. I can almost squeeze into some of my pre-pregnancy pants.

DS is amazing! He's starting to stay awake longer during the day and is so alert and aware now. He's been smiling at everything this past week. He's waking up to eat at least 3 times a night so I'm a little sleep deprived, but otherwise feeling great.

DS is 6 weeks today, time is flying! I had my 6 week pp check-up today and all went well. I'm looking forward to excercising again!

Re: moms of NBs - How are we feeling!

I feel great- I had the insane gas for the first 2 weeks but it left. I have more issues with going to the bathroom

Bleeding had stopped right around my 4 week postpartum exam. OB said all looked great, but then started staining since the appt. Can't tell if my period is here lightly- the staining is very confusing. OB said I could resume all activities however, I don't feel 100% healed yet. I was torn, cut, and stitched everywhere . . . Going on 6 weeks PP.

I have about 8 pounds to go to get to pre pregnancy weight (gained 45 ) My tummy is a little bit softer than it had been but not bad. My pants do not fit the same at all- my hips/but/thighs seem to be a bit thicker than they had been. I feel like my weight re-distributed . . .

LOVE LOVE LOVE being a mommy. Mia had a very severe case of thrush that came from me due to pumping. I am done with that- have been drying up- seeing her and the insdie of her mouth the way it was just freaked me out. Oral wash did nothing, Diflucan kicked butt! She is much better but catnapping throughout the day and snacking frequentl instead of taking full bottles. She sleeps heavier at night -normally 3-4 hour stretches. Hopefully now that the thrush has mostly cleared she will return to falling into a schedule.

Dreading going back to work . . .
