I always leave thinking crap why didn't I ask/talk about this but was too distracted while in the moment!</p> <p>I'm always way hotter than I used to be. I used to get cold a lot and loved tons of blankets at night. Now, even though our house sometimes drops to 60 or below at night, I always wake up sweating.</p> <p>My skin also doesn't seem to want to calm down. My chin has been a disaster since pregnancy :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-body-changes#post-515159 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 17:12:45 +0000 Bao 515159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My stomach is not as toned as it used to be, and there is a bit "extra" hanging on there even though I'm back to normal weight. I need to tone up, my hips are wider too. I have a couple small stretch marks on my hips too.Oh the joys :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-body-changes#post-515141 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 16:52:30 +0000 pastemoo 515141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>-I became allergic to Latex during pregnancy<br /> -Though I'm (just now--yay!) at my prepregnancy weight and waist size, my lower belly is bigger than before and the skin is still loose and wrinkly 8 months pp.<br /> -I have way more freckles and I think my face is wrinklier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-body-changes#post-515114 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 16:23:23 +0000 prettylizy 515114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to change my makeup too!! All of a sudden my eyes started to water and itch from my usual Mac. I've been slowly switching over to clinique and have had good luck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-body-changes#post-515098 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 15:58:46 +0000 stargal 515098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My memory is shot...I can't remember anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-body-changes#post-515065 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 15:20:40 +0000 PrincessBaby 515065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: Exact same for me- my brain is like functioning at 50% when it comes to conversing with other people! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-body-changes#post-515050 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 14:58:02 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 515050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: oh that makes sense. I have done that before too. A while ago, my neighbor was in his yard and I was in mine and he called "what do you think of this cold weather?" I responded "oh, really?" Dur!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-body-changes#post-515048 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 14:54:54 +0000 HLK208 515048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I went from an 8 to an 8.5 after B and now I'm a 9. I have been stuffing my feet into all my old shoes. As for the social thing, I use to be really outgoing and I still think I am but I feel like my attention is so focused on B and E that I don't make conversation with others like I use to. For example, if I'm talking to my neighbors, they'll ask me a question and I'll answer but it's like my brain is too slow to ask them anything back. Then 10 minutes later, I think of how the conversation should have went. That never use to happen before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-body-changes#post-515040 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 14:46:26 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 515040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: lose social skills? No way! I don't believe it...</p> <p>How much did your feet grow? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-body-changes#post-515037 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 14:45:38 +0000 HLK208 515037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have clown feet after both pregnancies. If I wash my hair in the morning, it's greasy by 5pm. Overall, I can't think as quickly and I feel like baby brain has caused me to lose some social skills. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-body-changes#post-515031 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 14:35:17 +0000 GrapeCrush 515031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My feet are bigger<br /> My hair is darker!(even myhair stylist couldn't believe it, said he's never seen someone's hair come in darker after pregnancy) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-body-changes#post-515027 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 14:27:58 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 515027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The blog post on PP body changes made me want to make a thread about this, since there are some very strange changes that have happened to my body since having a baby.</p> <p>-my feet are smaller<br /> -my fingers are thinner (ring is now a size too big)<br /> -my hair is constantly greasy<br /> -I now have sensitive skin. Since having LO I have reacted to my makeup brushes, certain flannels (weird), and my favorite lip balm. I never had a single reaction before.</p> <p>And of course, there are the usual complaints: stretch marks, wide hips, tube sock boobs, etc.</p> <p>What about you? </p>
