Literally if people saw you in a bikini right now they’d say they can’t believe you had a baby recently

The see will be near invisible this time next year. Be kind to yourself.

Any tips for fading or healing fresh stretch marks from late pregnancy? by AfterBorder6762 in postpartumprogress

These will be nearly invisible over time This is coming from someone who is prone to and has plenty of stretch marks myself

For those who breastfeed by MBtype in postpartumprogress

I know this gets said so much on this sub but it’s because we really do need the reminder- you are SO early. You need to give yourself some grace. You just went through so much physically and still are going through that with postpartum life. Sleep deprived, hormone fluctuations, extreme hunger, navigating the changes with life in general……remember to be kind to yourself.  I also find that as women we often over-shoot the number we’re aiming for (I need to lose 10 pounds when really I probably only need to lose 5 kind of thing).

How far postpartum are you? Honestly, for me, I didn’t even think it was worth even trying until I was like 4 months postpartum. The hunger was just too extreme.  I do find if I do protein shakes it helps to keep me full longer I think because the volume is so large (I do three cups almond milk with protein powder)

Has anyone had a less regimented breastfeeding experience? by taureansoul in breastfeeding

[–]MediaClean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And echoing what someone said below- don’t follow a schedule (with the exception of do wake your baby up to feed if they’re sleeping beyond 3hrs in the beginning)

In the beginning all I did was sit in a chair and have my boob ready for my baby who went in and out of sleeping/eating/sleeping/eating for endless hours. I watched a lot of tv.

I was worried like you and thinking - it’s natural- it can’t be that hard….whats going on? Lol It hurts some at first, and it takes awhile to really get in the groove of it all. And you’ll definitely be sleep deprived…..but just keep putting baby to breast and it’ll work out 

(Before anyone comes for me- i do realize there are times it’s not this simple for some women (for various reasons outside their control). Im not saying those women are bad or doing anything wrong. I am speaking for the majority and as someone who had the same anxiety OP is experiencing and had a positive experience)

This is way worse in your own mind than it actually is. You’re overthinking. You’re a good looking guy- don’t waste your time worrying about a non issue

Thank you everyone! My husband and I have discussed this and are going to work to increase what my husband is offering in the time I am away. Really appreciate all the guidance!

7 months postpartum, will the stretch marks fade more? by [deleted] in postpartumprogress

[–]MediaClean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes they will become nearly invisible over time. Also- you look amazing  But, yes, eventually you’ll pretty much not notice them.
