I feel like I'm back to my old self for the most part. I too have lost all the baby weight but I'm still pretty squishy ha! I need to start working harder at toning up and probably watch my diet a little better. I used to eat really healthy pre-baby but it's so much easier to eat bad when I'm so busy. I need to get back on track!

I had baby fever really bad around 3-6 months, but when I really stop and think it through, I know we're not really ready yet. I still feel a little twinge of jealousy when I hear of others being pregnant with number 2 though.

At one year postpartum, I was eight months pregnant with my second! Whoops! So nope, body not back to normal and baby number two was already in the works.

I'm still breastfeeding at 19 months, so I haven't had a true return to normal yet. At a year, my daughter wasn't night weaned, so I was really struggling with her increased desire for nursing overnight. Besides that, I was about 7 pounds over my prepreg/post partum weight, again due to breastfeeding. We've been NTNP since 9 months, but I really wanted to lose that weight. Her sleep was so poor that I wasn't able to exercise a ton, either.

My daughter is finally sleeping well (mostly), night weaned and nursing less. So now I'm in the best shape of my adult life. I've finally been able to diet and lose a few of these nursing pounds, too. Things are looking much better.

I don't know how much breastfeeding has impacted me, but a ton, I suspect. If not for that I think I would have felt pretty normal at one year. My body was back to prepregnancy shape, except for those few pounds and being a little out of shape. I would have been happy to get pregnant then, but I'd be much happier now.

I'll officially be one year postpartum next Wednesday. I've been back to pre-pregnancy weight for a while but I definitely have a squishy belly. I have worked out sporadically but I really need to get my butt in gear because I want to be really toned before I get pregnant again.

Definitely NOT ready to try for baby #2. I just got used to the idea of a number 2 happening. Maybe in another 2 years.

I will be 1 year pp next weekend. I do not feel ready for baby # 2 although whenever I see a newborn I feel that I miss the newborn stage.

I'm 1 year pp as of tonight & I feel pretty good! I gave up a looong time ago on getting my body back so I'm okay with my squishiness & yea, the ladies are a bit sadder than before but I'm still bf'ing so I won't know the true damage for quite some time. And we're not ready for #2 yet..... hopefully soon!
