It was a welcome change, so I didn't try to 'fix' it. Slightly saggy boobs after nursing. That's about it? Eager to see what pregnancy number two does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-pregnancy-permanently-change-your-body#post-2158819 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 17:27:31 +0000 mrskc 2158819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, I'm surprised how many of your feet grew! Mine are the same size. </p> <p>I would say my permanent pooch and it seems like my rib cage is bigger like just my whole middle is thicker. I hate it. And I'm sure once I'm done nursing, my boobs will be flat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-pregnancy-permanently-change-your-body#post-2158788 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 16:33:59 +0000 petunia354 2158788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hair is oilier. My torso is much thicker. Also, not a body change but I cry ALL THE TIME now. It's crazy. I have never been a crier!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-pregnancy-permanently-change-your-body#post-2158776 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 16:11:51 +0000 erinpye 2158776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My stick-straight hair got super wavy in the back, my hips are slightly wider, boobs still much bigger, but I'm also still breastfeeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-pregnancy-permanently-change-your-body#post-2158748 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 15:48:00 +0000 lil owl 2158748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My eye color changed from brown to almost completely Green.

I also have way more fine lines on my face and hands, but I'm not sure if that's pregnancy or just aging in general. I think maybe it sped it up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-pregnancy-permanently-change-your-body#post-2158720 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 15:29:15 +0000 MrsKoala 2158720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wrinkles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-pregnancy-permanently-change-your-body#post-2158651 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 14:26:47 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2158651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hair is thinner, feet are half size bigger and wider/flatter, ribcage got wider, and boobs are in an extremely sad state of flat pancake-ness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-pregnancy-permanently-change-your-body#post-2158635 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 14:10:28 +0000 twodoghouse 2158635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hair has gotten wavy (almost curly in some places).

I feel like motherhood has aged me, in general, probably due to the added stress and lack of sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-pregnancy-permanently-change-your-body#post-2158575 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 13:36:33 +0000 ValentineMommy 2158575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Weird!

Even now that I'm pregnant with LO #2 and taking extra folic acid...no where near the same :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-pregnancy-permanently-change-your-body#post-2158561 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 13:33:21 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2158561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artsyfartsy: @Mamaof2: I thought I was the only one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-pregnancy-permanently-change-your-body#post-2158559 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 13:32:02 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2158559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My feet are bigger and I now have to permanently wear the reading glasses I got years ago but never actually needed. I'm pretty sure my hand is wider as well (my jade bracelets no longer fit). Not to mention my breast size (although they're getting smaller), they're still no where close to my original size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-pregnancy-permanently-change-your-body#post-2158554 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 13:30:32 +0000 BananaPancakes 2158554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>-Feet are 1/2 size larger<br /> -Hair is so much thinner - I swear it's falling out constantly<br /> -I have menstrual hip pain - my sacroiliac joint swells up like a golf ball during my period now.<br /> -Skin is crazy - I get those deep, painful zits, which I've never gotten before in my life<br /> -My boobs are super sad now</p> <p>My kid is 3, so I thought I'd be back to normal, but honestly, I don't think my hormones have ever recovered, which is why I'm having most of my problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-pregnancy-permanently-change-your-body#post-2158537 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 13:27:52 +0000 Foodnerd81 2158537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's hard to say since I had no time between weaning and being pregnant again, but my lactose intolerance is way better. It was weird- during my first pregnancy I could eat ice cream no problem, where before I could eat it but get a stomach ache if I didn't take a lactaid. Ever since then it's the same- can't over do it on dairy but I can eat normal amounts. It's nice! </p> <p>My skin did get a little more oily but I think it was going back to normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-pregnancy-permanently-change-your-body#post-2158526 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 13:20:21 +0000 artsyfartsy 2158526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: my ovulation cramps are INSANE now too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-pregnancy-permanently-change-your-body#post-2158505 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 13:07:03 +0000 enjollah 2158505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: tons of grays here too...:( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-pregnancy-permanently-change-your-body#post-2158504 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 13:07:03 +0000 Mamaof2 2158504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before pregnancy I had twinges when ovulating and heavy period cramps and after pregnancy its reversed - now I have awful ovulation cramps and mild period cramps - so strange! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-pregnancy-permanently-change-your-body#post-2158486 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 12:55:35 +0000 travellingbee 2158486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just softer, saggier BBs and a pooch I can't suck in totally.

Skin is better post pregnancy though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-pregnancy-permanently-change-your-body#post-2158481 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 12:53:17 +0000 artsyfartsy 2158481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And I don't mean like stretch marks or weight gain or anything like that. </p> <p>I had dry/normal skin pre pregnancy, and the day I conceived (I kid you not) my skin turned super oily. I had to dab it with those little oil sheets once an hour. 14 months PP and 5 months post breastfeeding it's still really oily, although not quite as bad. </p> <p>I guess that's just my new reality. What about you? </p>
