Postpartum Body: Your Body After Pregnancy

Kidding! Kids are amazing and are so worth the effort. I'm just sharing my personal experiences with managing the "postpartum body".

No one ever told me what my body was gonna be like after giving birth. Yeah, I read the Book, and yeah...I rubbed lotion on my belly every night. Still, nothing prepared me for the changes that my body when through during my 2 pregnancies.

If we can put a man on the moon and clone people, why is it that no one has invented a lotion that really does erase stretch marks?!

Here is the low-down on what can happen to your body immediately post-baby:

• Stretch marks (the redness will go away, and leave behind white and shiny streaks)
• La linea nigra (this eventually will go away too)
• Loose and wrinkly skin around your belly
• Abdominal muscles separated
• Fat, fat everywhere
• Enlarged and darkened areolas
• Saggy boobs
• Belly button ruined
• Hair falls out like crazy
• Stomach still looks 5 months pregnant (takes weeks for this to go down)

By the way, most of the problems issued above are only temporary. I'm on a quest to address any postpartum body problems that still linger. Care to join me?
