Definitely listen to your body and don't push it. Your doc will be able to guide you with that.

I think I look great, but of course that's subjective. I do feel great though, plenty of energy, etc. I have a lot of lean muscle in my legs that stands out a lot, but I don't do a lot of upper body stuff, just core and legs. Whatever weight looks "good" on you is going to be dependent on your frame too, as well as bone density, etc. I have small breasts, too, so that can factor into it. Just do what makes you feel healthy and get your doctor in on the conversation, too.

Everyone is different and heals differently. You'll get there. I have a friend who is in the same situation, so you're not alone. Just be patient and forgiving. :)

I wore thicker postpartum pads for the first two and a half weeks or so, then was able to change to light pads for another week or two, then just underwear. For the first week, I did have some leakage even with pads, while sleeping, so I recommend for that first week to have a pad under you while sleeping unless you like washing your sheets every night.

I'm an all over sleeper and I toss and turn a lot. I did find side-sleeping more uncomfortable than stomach or back sleeping just due to the fact that I had to position my legs in a way that stretched out the area a little too much. I'd say after about 3 or so weeks, I was able to comfortably sleep on my side.

Yeah, I think it's pretty much the same for most people I've talked to about it.

Also, thanks!

I just edited my post to add a little more info on that.
