Feeling ok... Finally getting used to the "new normal." I've been having some anxiety (actually lots) so my doctor put me on a low dose of Zoloft. My body... Meh. But I don't want to diet or exercise too much because I'm breastfeeding. I just want jeans -- ANY jeans -- to fit me not weirdly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-postpartum-are-you/page/2#post-694538 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 13:45:06 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 694538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I've come to appreciate the soft tummy. I know this is probably a motivator in the other direction - to tone the tummy - but my 14 month old and I love playing drums on my flabby tummy. It makes him giggle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-postpartum-are-you/page/2#post-694495 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 13:36:10 +0000 hilsy85 694495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost 6 months (how is that possible?! I feel like I just had a newborn yesterday...). Feeling pretty good about my body; I'm nervous of lowering my supply if I start dieting or working out hardcore so right now I'm not doing much about my soft tummy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-postpartum-are-you#post-694489 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 13:35:31 +0000 prettylizy 694489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: get the puppy! lol!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-postpartum-are-you#post-694463 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 13:30:17 +0000 mole 694463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 weeks today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-postpartum-are-you#post-694440 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 13:25:27 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 694440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: That's the first time I've ever heard of 'baby rabies'. I may need to get a shot for that! Or just get the puppy... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-postpartum-are-you#post-694427 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 13:22:38 +0000 VanillaBean 694427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 months and I'm finally feeling better.

One of the guys I work with has a 7 month old, his wife came in with the little guy a few days ago (hi @Ginger333) lol!..... I die! Soft and cuddly and smooshy. Re-ignited my hardcore case of Baby Rabies!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-postpartum-are-you#post-694376 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 13:07:04 +0000 LuLu Mom 694376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 months and a few days!

Still really hormonal, especially around period time. Body is still not right but trying to work on it. Or just have another baby, whichever comes first lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-postpartum-are-you#post-694349 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 12:59:01 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 694349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: I wish I had time to pump but I don't and then, somehow, a piece of my pump is missing? I have no idea what's actually missing but it's not working right now anyways. Oh well. Besides, Em seems to be attached to the nip anyways and there's no need for pumping. But because of my breast reduction three years ago, I've had to supplement from the start so I applaud all you EBF'ers </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-postpartum-are-you#post-694341 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 12:55:08 +0000 cascademom 694341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: Thanks. I've been pumping more in the last couple of days, so he's still getting a healthy dose of breastmilk. I look forward to the weekends where he can nurse and work on purees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-postpartum-are-you#post-694332 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 12:52:23 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 694332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: How about I just rent you mine for a little while to remind you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-postpartum-are-you#post-694324 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 12:49:51 +0000 prettylizy 694324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>13 months :( Too long, time to have another one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-postpartum-are-you#post-694321 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 12:49:33 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 694321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: Total win. I'm proud for you :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-postpartum-are-you#post-694316 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 12:48:12 +0000 cascademom 694316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little over 7 months. Still not super happy with my body, but LO is doing awesome. Last week, I had a horrible cold and surprise period so my supply took a hit, so we supplemented. He managed to go about 7 months EBF, so that's a win. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-postpartum-are-you#post-694315 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 12:47:43 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 694315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: I won't tell your OB/GYN if you don't tell mine I broke down at 3 weeks...

Off to my obgyn appt in about half an hour. DH and I already did the deed... hehe we couldn't wait. Can the ob tell that sort of thing?

Was feeling great for the last couple of months after getting on anti-depressants at 3 weeks PP, but then I tried to go off the pills and have been having a really difficult time. And I've been sick. So, I feel terrible. But I'm hoping to get back on track with health now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-postpartum-are-you#post-694023 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 11:08:22 +0000 oliviaoblivia 694023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Three months and feeling great. I love being a mom and don't really mind my new squishy tummy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-postpartum-are-you#post-694012 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 11:05:42 +0000 BeachMama 694012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 months. I still get some pain in my left abdomen from my c section. I'm assuming its scar tissue but it seems to be worse lately. Kinda worries me. </p> <p>LO is doing great. Sleeping thru the night since about 4-5 months. But I'm still exhausted. Does it ever go away? She's cutting her two top teeth so she's been a little under the weather - poor girl. </p> <p>Right now the toughest part of being a mom is probably my relationship w DH. This has definitely been the toughest year for us and hoping we can break out of our funk soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-postpartum-are-you#post-693999 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 11:01:04 +0000 Bao 693999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-postpartum-are-you#post-693987 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 10:57:41 +0000 Periwinkle 693987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 months on Sunday! That went fast! I am feeling physically ok but still very tired since we have a not-so-great sleeper. Emotionally, I have some good days and some tough ones still. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-postpartum-are-you#post-693974 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 10:51:31 +0000 mediagirl 693974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Feeling great...but I'm dealing with some sleep regression so, not so great in the sleep department. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-postpartum-are-you#post-693961 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 10:41:54 +0000 Smurfette 693961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Three and half weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-postpartum-are-you#post-693922 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 10:27:20 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 693922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: Oh honey, I know what you mean. I always liked being a single digit clothing kind of person, even if it was an 8 or 9. Having to buy something in a 12 the last time around killed my self esteem and thanks to my hips and flab, I'm pretty sure I may have to venture into the 14s and I'm not that big! The number kills me. </p>
