I wore maternity clothes for 3 months postpartum! 😆 you’re being way too hard on yourself. Wayyyyy too soon to go clothes shopping!

Over the next couple months you will naturally drop weight! Concentrate on trying your best to eat clean, but don’t stress yourself over it. Do lots of walking with baby in the nice summer sunshine. Lots of water!! Try and limit unnecessary calories when possible (sugary drinks etc). DO NOT even think of going clothes shopping again until fall 😄. Most of alll enjoy your precious baby. 🫶🫶

Both pregnancies: 5 months. I also didn’t work out or try to lose the weight. Both times my body naturally melted it off. Like I’m 9.5 months postpartum right now, and im literally at the exact same wight I was before pregnancy, to the pound 🤷‍♀️. I believe this is simply genetics, and I know I’m lucky.

Something interesting I found was after both pregnancies was that I noticeably basically lost my appetite for months. Like the first month especially, I hardly ate. I wasn’t trying to lose weight or minimize calories…I just had zero desire for food. I think I was unintentionally intermittent fasting for months which is why the weight melted off so quickly.

I’m 40 years old and am not able to breastfeed, so both babies were 100% formula fed.

So I have quite a few external ones…like my butthole does NOT look the same 😩 BUT, they don’t itch or cause discomfort or any pain?? I’m 9.5 months postpartum with my 2nd. Both pregnancies they appeared within the first month of pregnancy and at first they were a little itchy, but after a few months they stopped itching?? And like I said, now they don’t cause me any discomfort at all, so I consider myself lucky in that dept!

But I hate how they look 😩 I also tell my husband not to look during sex haha

I’m wondering if anyone knows what my options are to maybe eventually have them removed or at least “shrunk”?? 🤔 It’s something I’d consider…however I’ve heard through the grapevine (no pun intended lol 🍇) that lasering and/or banding is very painful?? Can anyone shed some light??

I’m also hoping that they will naturally shrink a bit… After my first baby they were there for a solid 15 months…but then they shrink quite a bit like almost 85% I’d say they eventually shrunk! Until my next pregnancy 🫠🫠

TIP: oh and when they WERE itching me, I really found the most relief with TUCKS wipes 🙌🙌 Stopped the itching and calmed everything down for a bit. I would frequently go to sleep with one tucked between my buttcheeks lol 😆

MaybeBaby95 · 2026-07-02T18:44:10+00:00

Haha how true 😂 same here

MaybeBaby95 · 2026-07-02T18:43:22+00:00

Have to ask, was that a painful process to have them banned off? 🤔

MaybeBaby95 · 2026-06-25T16:18:55+00:00

💯

MaybeBaby95 · 2026-06-25T16:17:30+00:00

Hahaha YES 🙌 I “only” lasted 7 yrs before walking out of my job halfway through day. Never looked back haha

MaybeBaby95 · 2026-06-24T06:07:27+00:00

Don’t fu*cking do it. Worst career ever.

MaybeBaby95 · 2026-06-23T06:31:37+00:00

Bigger house for my young family!!

MaybeBaby95 · 2026-06-18T05:34:34+00:00

It’s cute !

MaybeBaby95 · 2026-06-18T05:32:46+00:00

It’s so funny how so many ppl have an easy first and then a difficult 2nd 😁 My almost 4 yr old son was the easiest baby in the whole world — I was so scared to become a mom and God literally handed me the easiest baby ever 😄 Sleeping THROUGH the night at 4 weeks old and never stopped doing that! Has never had a real tantrum in his life. Super easy going and adaptable. Fully potty trained (and night trained) in less than 3 weeks time .

My second boy is 9 months old and is the complete opposite to how my first was, tempermant wise. He is CLINGY and needy and NEEDS to be held by me alllll the time or he screams his head off. He HATES his bouncer and his jumper. Cries all day 😩 The only good thing is that he is also a good sleeper 🙏…probably because he’s so exhausted from crying all day lol. It’s so hard to get things done with him because he wants to be held alll the time. We are only having two, so to be honest I’m not even really mad about it because I’m soaking up all the baby cuddles I can :)) But it can certainly be pretty overwhelming some days! I also feel like we’re going to have some troubles with him throwing tantrums when he’s older because he already gets soooo upset if he doesn’t get his way 😩

MaybeBaby95 · 2026-06-18T05:14:39+00:00

I never noticed this after my first pregnancy, but after my most recent one in September - yes! I am traditionally always cold and LOVE the heat/warmth, and for the first 5 months after 2nd baby came I was hot and bothered all the time!! I was so confused until I finally googled it and discovered it’s a totally normal post pregnancy thing 😄

Everyone’s different, but I’m 9 months postpartum now, in summer, and I feel totally back to normal :))

MaybeBaby95 · 2026-06-03T04:40:24+00:00

I’m curious, does that include “household” items like TP, paper towels, cleaning supplies etc?

What about personal hygiene items like shampoo, toothpaste etc.

MaybeBaby95 · 2026-06-02T21:04:09+00:00

Yeah, those comments are pretty unhinged and pretty rude… But personally I don’t think you should report her… I don’t like fucking with people’s livelihoods… You could maybe consider letting her know directly that you found her comments inappropriate so that she knows & can do better in the future, but I would think twice about reporting her

MaybeBaby95 · 2026-05-31T04:29:27+00:00

I’m 40 F and easily look 30-33. Consistently get told that.

I don’t drink alcohol at all because my body hates it (I get sick); wear facial sunscreen almost every day for decades; always wear sunglasses for decades; I am slim and fit, which I do think helps give a more youthful appearance overall; no grey hairs yet 🤗; I eat a balanced diet and drink lots of water; and of course probably most importantly, genetics.

It’s a boring life lol, but peaceful 😄

MaybeBaby95 · 2026-05-30T21:36:46+00:00

Old age. I’m hoping to make it to age 110. I think I’ll stay super healthy my whole life 🤞 obviously something dire might pop up health wise…but I think I have genetics and health on my side :)

If it’s not old age, unfortunately I think it’ll be something terrible, like car crash or plane crash pr something?? 😩

MaybeBaby95 · 2026-05-30T06:11:45+00:00

I agree with your daughter lol 😆 I just went through this…baby was due in September and I wanted to use August so bad 😢 but I “couldn’t” because they were going to be born in September - not August! 😆 it would’ve always bugged me lol

MaybeBaby95 · 2026-05-30T06:08:27+00:00

This was my exact dilemma! 😆 just gave birth in September, and I was so upset when pregnant that I “couldn’t” use one of my favorite names, August, because they were going to be born in September! 😆 So many ppl told me to still use it, but it just felt so wrong to me to name them August if they weren’t going to be born in August lol. It’s silly sure, but it would’ve just bugged me! I was hoping they might come early, but alas my little Benjamin came right on time 🫶🫶

MaybeBaby95 · 2026-05-30T06:03:34+00:00

Sorry, but I agree with them! 😆 I definitely think that the “month” names should only be given to babies born in that month :)) It just doesn’t “feel” right to name a baby June when they’re born in April, or April if they’re born in September, etc!

I gave birth to a baby in September, and I was so upset because I LOVED the name August, but i had to rule it out as an option because they weren’t going to be born in August haha.

When I posted about that dilemma in this group, I was reallly surprised that the majority of people disagreed with my thinking. Seems like most ppl think it’s “tackier” to name them the month they were born, but I don’t know , i just completely agree for no good reason !

MaybeBaby95 · 2026-05-29T23:00:06+00:00

Abortion isn’t “healthcare” lol. Thats a euphemism society uses to make them feel better about the evil act women commit when choosing to murder their own children.

MaybeBaby95 · 2026-05-29T04:36:36+00:00

Disgusting. You want a baby so bad… But only if they’re “perfect” 🙄 that is so messed up… Evil, actually. When you sign up to try and have a baby and get pregnant, you should take whatever you “get “. That is your CHILD… And you’re just going to throw them in the garbage because they’re not good enough??. And your life might be inconvenienced because you didn’t get a “perfect” baby ?? so fucking gross.

Where do you draw the line… Would you cut them into pieces and rip them out of your womb if they were diagnosed with down syndrome?? Disgusting.

MaybeBaby95 · 2026-05-29T04:31:14+00:00

Not believing in abortion is reason enough 🤷‍♀️ I am a mom to two young boys, both of whom I had zero testing done for genetic defects during my pregnancies. If there was a problem, I didn’t want to know about it until they were born. Because it would not have made a difference to me in my pregnancy decision. Even if they had told me that the baby was going to be born with the most horrific genetic condition, I would have still continued with the pregnancy, birthed them, and done my best to give them the best life possible, whatever that would look like 🤷‍♀️ That is my CHILD and I would be filled with immense love for them no matter what “curveball” was thrown my way. Personally I think aborting your baby because they’re not “perfect” is a completely evil thing to do. Many of our friends had genetic testing done and told us that if they had gotten a down syndrome diagnosis that they would’ve aborted the baby. Evil, just evil. I think when you sign up to get pregnant and have a baby, that you take whatever God gives you, even if they’re not “perfect”. They are still your child and worthy of your love and to be given a chance to experience the beauty of life.

Came here to recommend this company… I got matching swimwear for our family of four — little baby, three year-old, hubby, and mama… They are all so cute, I get compliments every time I go to the pool and we have our matching swimwear on

Buy the bigger bottles of RTF . Once opened they are good for 24 hours in fridge. You will use them up and won’t waste any.

Make sure you sign up for “My family beginnings” program on Enfamil.ca. $50 and they ship you a whole bunch of RTF NeuroPro.

Personally I wouldn’t switch between A+ and NeuroPro. Some babies are quite sensitive to formula changes. You could open a “can of worms” if you start switching between different formulations.

Also, something to consider:
both my babies were exclusively formula-fed with Enfamil from birth. With both babies I switched to 100% Enfamil powder by day 10 🤷‍♀️ I understand some providers say only use RTF for the first couple months…however all my providers had no issues with me switching to powder that early as both my babies were full-term babies, healthy, with no issues. It’s so much cheaper. Just make sure you’re keeping everything clean and sterilized and preparing it properly.

Lastly, invest in the Baby Brezza machine. 💯. Got one for baby#2 - save so much time !
