After my second baby I ended up needing to wear a panty liner every single day all day (tmi alert) but I was a lot more 'moist' down there for some reason. Now after my third, the moisture issue has seemed to lessen and my IBS hasn't been as bad. Kinda odd but still cool with the good kind of change since I have had 3 babies my body could really be hating me right now lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexpected-changes-to-your-body-after-having-your-lo#post-854738 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 12:01:56 +0000 mrs. wagon 854738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg I had BO after having kids too!! But there's hope... it faded after about a year. Earlier after having a girl. So I'm back to being daisy fresh.</p> <p>After having kids my laugh changed. No joke. When I'm laughing uncontrollably, I used to be totally silent, and now I have a raspy laugh. So so so so so weird. </p> <p>Obviously I deal with similar things... "softer" body even though I went back to pre-pregnancy weight, etc... my feet are about half a size larger than pre-kids... </p> <p>But the biggest thing is that I now have severe dry eye. Bahhh. Seriously annoying because even though I've worn contacts 18 hrs a day for almost 2 decades, all of a sudden I have blurred vision, double vision, tired eyes, redness, swelling, itching, discharge.... etc etc etc. My opthamologist (also a young mom who breastfed) thinks it's because I'm producing milk longer this time around (I stopped at 7 months the first time around, I'm now at 11 months). Once I stop BFing I'm going on restaysis. Grr. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexpected-changes-to-your-body-after-having-your-lo#post-854670 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 11:49:43 +0000 JoJoGirl 854670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely on the BO! Oh wait, maybe that's from not showering.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexpected-changes-to-your-body-after-having-your-lo#post-854647 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 11:45:40 +0000 HLK208 854647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My periods are intense. I think my hormones still haven't regulated either. Others weren't really a surprise - I expected wider hips and a muffin top lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexpected-changes-to-your-body-after-having-your-lo#post-853421 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 06:49:13 +0000 SugarplumsMom 853421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My eyesight is bad, I need glasses now. My feet didn't shrink, they're a half size bigger, so all my old shoes don't fit :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexpected-changes-to-your-body-after-having-your-lo#post-853388 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 06:19:59 +0000 lavender 853388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hips are wider and I got myself a little muffin top :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexpected-changes-to-your-body-after-having-your-lo#post-853365 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 06:00:36 +0000 GrapeCrush 853365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my hips stayed much wider after DS! which made me mad since I didn't even birth him through them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexpected-changes-to-your-body-after-having-your-lo#post-853290 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 03:16:39 +0000 bunnylove08 853290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tmi but periods have gotten heavier and my body is a lot "softer" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexpected-changes-to-your-body-after-having-your-lo#post-853245 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 01:56:42 +0000 erinpye 853245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My boobs and hips stayed bigger and my periods are WAY heavier.

When people told me contractions felt like super severe cramps, I had no idea what they were talking about. after having LO,I get PMS and cramps pretty regularly. </p> <p>I used to not be a very hairy person (rarely would have to shave my legs), but now my leg hairs are thicker, darker and grow faster...I hate it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexpected-changes-to-your-body-after-having-your-lo#post-853009 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 22:27:23 +0000 Grace 853009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh booooo! I knew that hips expanded, but ribcages too?

So that was unexpected, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexpected-changes-to-your-body-after-having-your-lo#post-852486 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 18:31:28 +0000 betsyboop 852486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never used to have to wear deodorant but after having my LO, I THINK I have BO! Gross! </p> <p>Also, my PMS is a lot worse. AND my rib cage definitely expanded so some of my tops and dresses just don't fit anymore, even though I'm back to my pre-preg weight. Oh yeah, and my boobs look like mosquito bites. Boohoo. </p>
