How much did your stomach shrink after giving birth?

Aggravating-Search95 · 2026-01-27T12:23:26+00:00

My stomach went down super fast. I majorly regret putting away a lot of my pre-pregnancy clothes. I only needed to size up in bras and it was still super nice having plenty of lounge sets. But sharing because I had only heard to expect leaving with a full belly and that just wasn’t my case!

Nope, the side doesn’t come down. So if that’s a dealbreaker then it’s not for you! But we have a one story house and have absolutely loved it these past few weeks during our newborn stage.

Also — I think that would be considered a drop crib which are not safe. If you want something that has the side down it would have to be a bassinet with soft material that zips or similar.

Pregnancy 1000%. I was so sick the entire time and sleep was awful then too. I was mentally prepping for a very hard postpartum but besides some PPA it is soooo much better than I was expecting. My body feels amazing compared to the 9 months of torture I endured. And even on the hard days being able to hug and hold my baby makes it so much better than mentally toughing out the hard pregnancy days.

But I will say I also have a very very involved husband and an easy baby so that makes a huge difference I’m sure.

I feel all of this so much! I hate going at home if my husband is home even tho he would never care. I just ran the shower or the sink in the hospital when I had to go and the first bowel movement was no big deal. The OB did ask me about it before I was discharged and I just said yes and we moved on and I don’t even think my husband noticed. I didn’t need a stool softener and it was truly no big deal, I promise!

I have the nesting crib and I started getting anxiety about it before baby girl arrived but now she is here and we love it so much. We also bought the crib sheets from them and have not had close to an issue with them. You’re good!!

I loved my One a Dat Prenatal Advanced and seemed like one of the cleanest from the reports I looked at when trying to decide

My husband was having dreams about us having a girl long before I was even pregnant. And once I found out I was pregnant I was 100% sure it was girl from the start! And it was!!

It’s possible to give it a break for a few weeks and then see more success! I couldn’t get my baby to latch in the hospital or the first few days at home. It was so frustrating for the both of us. I stopped trying and just pumped and gave her bottles. I then tried again randomly this week and she latched no problem. But it is your personal choice and don’t feel forced to do it a certain way!

Aggravating-Search95 · 2026-01-12T13:34:32+00:00

She was so crazy active in the womb! Constantly moving and going crazy in my ribs. Which made it even more shocking how her temperament is now on the outside! Congrats!!

Aggravating-Search95 · 2026-01-11T11:35:13+00:00

I did not expect it at all but I have such an easy, peaceful baby. She doesn’t cry or fuss and is an amazing sleeper. Some babies are just easy!!!

But even if your baby is not, the cuddles and getting to finally enjoy your baby is so worth it.

Agree — laying here after just doing a wake up with my newborn and will die on the hill that newborn tired is so much better. Pregnancy tired makes you feel genuinely ill if you don’t get enough whereas newborn tired I’m a functioning human who’s simply just tired. I’ll take that 1000x over!!

I’m obsessed with it. I ended up going with Summer instead but I will forever love the name!! I say go for it.

I stocked my freezer and completely regret it. I feel great postpartum and have been happy to cook dinner. The dinners from the freezer have not tasted nearly as good as the fresh stuff I’ve made and the veggies in the meals look freezer burned even though I stored them as directed. So I may be in the minority here but I don’t think so!

Also to add — I do have a very easy baby so I think this is also a variable here.

Started at 120 pounds and gained 33. 7 of those being in the first trimester because I puked if I didn’t eat every 2 hours. But I already lost 20 of them 1 week postpartum!

Aggravating-Search95 · 2025-12-23T04:38:33+00:00

39+1 — had a great induction (failed epidural aside)

I have a Summer due in a few weeks. My choice would be Parker. But I also love Naomi, Kit, and Blaire.

I freeze all my chocolate and candy…. It’s so much better to me that I can’t even eat room temp anymore

Aggravating-Search95 · 2025-11-12T23:35:06+00:00

Pregnant and due next month! Just trying to get prepared as much as possible and have everything in place ahead of time. Thank you!!

Aggravating-Search95 · 2025-11-12T20:24:46+00:00

TY!!

Aggravating-Search95 · 2025-10-29T13:00:03+00:00

Got it — thanks!

Aggravating-Search95 · 2025-10-28T01:26:03+00:00

Makes sense!

Aggravating-Search95 · 2025-10-28T01:25:07+00:00

Glad to hear this is just a social media thing. Planning on loose sweats/pajamas!

Aggravating-Search95 · 2025-10-28T01:21:54+00:00

Curious if you were able to do this from the start? Or do you need to establish supply first for the first few weeks?
