So here is my update, I am 12 days postpartum. I had my son on his due date which was really great! He weighed 7 pounds 7 ounces and was 20 inches long. I had a few hours of tough back labor then had the epidural. Best experience of my life. So like I said before, I gained 22 pounds. It stayed that way until the end, I was 180. Pre pregnancy weight was 158 and yesterday I weighed 160. So 2 pounds left to go! I breastfed for a week, but for many different reasons I decided to stop. He took to the bottle right away and things are going much better.
I love my body so far. My tummy is a little softer, and I did end up with stretch marks but they arent too bad. My husband said he loves my new body because it “It makes me a woman”. I love that. I dont mind my stretch marks at all. I earned them. and I would have taken more of them for my son.
Here’s some pics of me 12 days PP, and of my handsome little man.
YOu look great!! what a handsome little boy you have!!!
awe congrats! you look amazing! and you son is too precious :)
Remind me to gain only 22 pounds my next pregnancy! That’s very good for you – I gave in to way too many cravings and gained just a bit over 40 lbs…sounds awesome to have 2 lbs to go – at that stage I had about 22!!
You look incredible! Only 2 weeks pp and aside from a few stretch marks, I’d never guess you had a baby :)
