I think it is meant to be very tongue in cheek in that way because so many women feel so awful about themselves PP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-article-nails-it-regarding-postpartum-period#post-1109706 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 09:43:58 +0000 Adira 1109706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: haha, so glad to hear other moms do this! Sometimes calling him the f-word was the only way I kept my sanity! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-article-nails-it-regarding-postpartum-period#post-1109695 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 09:40:26 +0000 Bookish 1109695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: LOL. Same. The f-bomb was a frequent companion of mine those first few weeks. We (mostly affectionately) called LO our 'little turd' for a while.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-article-nails-it-regarding-postpartum-period#post-1109686 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 09:38:39 +0000 sheskrafty 1109686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-article-nails-it-regarding-postpartum-period#post-1109678 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 09:36:56 +0000 mrskc 1109678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: yeah, that was the only part I didn't like. Maybe b/c I'm a size six and have an expensive diaper bag, I took offense to it.... but I'm most definitely not supermom and definitely not well rested! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-article-nails-it-regarding-postpartum-period#post-1109668 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 09:32:36 +0000 mrskc 1109668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: That line was hilarious. I too have yelled at my baby to go the f to sleep. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-article-nails-it-regarding-postpartum-period#post-1109664 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 09:30:41 +0000 immabeetoo 1109664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like a lot of it! Great reminders. Although, I admit, I don't think I'd ever be okay with someone watching Pulp Fiction with my baby ha! And this rubs me a bit the wrong way "The size six supermoms who appear perky and well-rested? The ones who haul big designer diaper bags brimming with healthy snacks and water and sunscreen and extra outfits and hand sanitizer?" I don't think anyone on the street thinks I'm a supermom or anything, but it just seemed a little.. catty. I hope no one wishes eye herpes on me just because I have a big PPB with all that stuff in it and I'm petite! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-article-nails-it-regarding-postpartum-period#post-1109663 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 09:30:17 +0000 Adira 1109663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: When you've got a screaming infant who just needs _______ but is making it entirely difficult for you to give them _______, sometimes the only thing to do is drop some f-bombs! My brother told me he was worried that Xander was going to grow up thinking his name was "f-er" or "d-bag" because I used those so often those first few weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-article-nails-it-regarding-postpartum-period#post-1109650 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 09:24:42 +0000 blackbird 1109650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@adira, glad I wasn't the only one throwing f-bombs at my infant. Hey, shit happens :). Mama doesn't keep her cool that great. Never been a strong point of mine, unfortunately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-article-nails-it-regarding-postpartum-period#post-1109623 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 09:18:16 +0000 Adira 1109623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: haha, I've yelled at Xander too, but it was more along the lines of "Why won't you f-ing latch on if you're f-ing hungry???" And then when he latched on incorrectly, it was "That f-ing hurts, you little f-er!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-article-nails-it-regarding-postpartum-period#post-1109587 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 09:06:55 +0000 blackbird 1109587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOL'd for real at this line: "Look at pictures of clean houses on Pinterest while you masturbate."</p> <p>But otherwise, nicely said (I've totally yelled at my LO to "just f*cking sleep already". It happens) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-article-nails-it-regarding-postpartum-period#post-1109434 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 08:14:35 +0000 MapleMoose 1109434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll be there shortly.

The part about still swaying even when you aren't holding the baby? I thought I was bananas the first time that happened...and the second...lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-article-nails-it-regarding-postpartum-period#post-1109311 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 06:26:13 +0000 emg86 1109311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww, man that brought back some memories. The few times I've managed to get away I still feel like I am naked &amp; missing a body part...and constantly check the back seat cause I miss her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-article-nails-it-regarding-postpartum-period#post-1109274 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 03:36:11 +0000 Penny Lane 1109274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that's awesome. favourited so I can read it over and over when I'm in the newborn trenches again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-article-nails-it-regarding-postpartum-period#post-1109269 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 03:27:35 +0000 .twist. 1109269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Super sweet and totally relatable.

And I definitely have been crazy emotional. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-article-nails-it-regarding-postpartum-period#post-1109260 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 02:26:45 +0000 RubyCali 1109260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love this! The postpartum adjustment was more difficult than I expected it to be, so I can very much relate to this. I knew I would be tired, but I didn't know HOW tired + emotional + anxious I would be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-article-nails-it-regarding-postpartum-period#post-1109259 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 02:12:26 +0000 illumina 1109259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So true!
