7,308,601 | mommit | No, see its because were just salty mfers |
7,308,602 | mommit | Mine never took to nursing. I tried to pump when the baby wasn't with me, but my husband would bring him to me since I was "just sitting" so I could watch the baby while he did other things. |
7,308,603 | mommit | He was helpful in a thousand other ways, but he might deserve a bit of yelling for that specifically. |
7,308,604 | mommit | It’s interesting that being a nanny all day with a child is considered a full time job but doing the same work with no pay (a parent) is considered a part time job. I actually know people who have both had jobs outside the home and also taken care of children and the home and they say having a job outside the home is e... |
7,308,605 | mommit | I suggest you have more conversations with moms who don’t work outside the home. I think you might be surprised by all the work it entails. Having a kid is a lot and everyone deserves breaks from work. How you handle your time has to change. If a parent comes home to a nanny he has been paying to take care of the child... |
7,308,606 | mommit | I hope no one leaves you alone with children the! Also, this is super insulting to stay at home moms. We aren't a different type of person? There's no reason we wouldn't understand something just because we are a SAHM. I'm a SAHM, but also went through college and university and am a Healthcare professional. Could it... |
7,308,607 | mommit | My baby, too. Or, his hands aren’t clenched but he immediately wakes up when I try. So, we gently have a high risk tug of war when he is awake. |
7,308,608 | mommit | I always did it while the baby ate. It was one of the few times baby was relaxed and unbothered. Edited to add: your baby is so cute! Look at that sweet little face! |
7,308,609 | mommit | I cut my poor dog badly when clipping her nails then when I had babies I was too scared. So I just bit their nails!! |
7,308,610 | mommit | I made the terrible decision to bite my daughters nails instead of clip them when she was a baby. I was so worried about hurting her! Now she’s 13 and bites her nails to the bone. Whoops. |
7,308,611 | mommit | I file my son’s nails now. He would wake up when I tried to cut them when he slept and then when I tried when he was awake I ended up cutting the skin a few times and felt so guilty. So I strictly file and have a battle doing it, but no blood and no tears. Just frustration on his part since all wants to do is crawl and... |
7,308,612 | mommit | SOOO CUTE! |
7,308,613 | mommit | So cute! Looks like my little boy (but with more hair lol). How old? |
7,308,614 | mommit | Little Martin’s Drawer Baby Nail Trimmer File with Light - Safe Electric Nail Clippers Kit for Newborn Infant Toddler Kids Toes and Fingernails - Care, Polish and Trim - Battery Operated (AA) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IC6RD4O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_hft7Bb0KRABPN This is a game changer. I don't know of a baby that even... |
7,308,615 | mommit | My midwife told us a trick! gently rub the side of the baby's hand (little finger side) which makes bebe reflexively loosen their clenched fist of doom (and lets you clean out the lint and whatnot) |
7,308,616 | mommit | I use a nail file so much less anxiety. |
7,308,617 | mommit | One of the most horrifying things to do as a new parent lol |
7,308,618 | mommit | Haha cute. It gets more difficult as they grow |
7,308,619 | mommit | I'm having a boy in 3 weeks (my second) and this pic just gave me such baby fever!!!! I can't wait! He's such a cutie! |
7,308,620 | mommit | I would rather a battle while awake over risking waking my babies trying to cut them while asleep. |
7,308,621 | mommit | I still cut my three year old's nails when she naps and I have the same problem! |
7,308,622 | mommit | Such a cutie!! I still do this with my 15 month old wiggle monster DS. Ohh the snuggles!! |
7,308,623 | mommit | I learned the hard way. My first son I cut his nails while sleeping. Now he screams bloody murder crying if I try to touch his nails. My second I cut while awake. And he asks me to cut and file his little daggers. |
7,308,624 | mommit | The struggle is real. |
7,308,625 | mommit | So cute |
7,308,626 | mommit | We do it in the bath |
7,308,627 | mommit | So cute! We always called these “fists of fury”. |
7,308,628 | mommit | I do that too! I also spend feeding time digging hand lint out of his fist folds and from under his fingernails. Where does he get all that lint from?! |
7,308,629 | mommit | Good tip. My 3 month old isn't super cooperative. Lol. |
7,308,630 | mommit | Aw thanks! I agree. |
7,308,631 | mommit | I totally do this too. And only when he’s being sweet on my lap calmly watching Thomas will he let me |
7,308,632 | mommit | Yes! My son is now 15 months and I still bite his nails for him about once a week after one of his baths. Quick and easy. I figure at some point it will get easier for him to understand he needs to be still and chill around nail clippers one of these days, but until then |
7,308,633 | mommit | Thanks! Nearly 4 mos. |
7,308,634 | mommit | Awesome - thinks! |
7,308,635 | mommit | Yep. My three year old just has claws at this point. |
7,308,636 | mommit | We call them "Arthur Hands." XD |
7,308,637 | mommit | I forgot about the lint! Especially in the neck fold! Lol |
7,308,638 | mommit | Thank goodness other babies grow lint between their fingers and toes. |
7,308,639 | mommit | Mine gets it from grabbing my shirt I think. Also from his love to dream swaddle sack. |
7,308,640 | mommit | Omg the neck fold all the drool and like i dunno wtf!! I’m dying!! |
7,308,641 | mommit | Before pregnancy, I had very bad body dysmorphia. Very underweight and had trouble gaining anything or having an appetite. Then once I was pregnant, I gained 35 pounds, my skin got clear and I just didn’t have to worry about what I looked like. 4 months PP now and I’ve lost 20lb but still have more weight on me than pr... |
7,308,642 | mommit | You know what, I am so unbelievably happy that you're happy! It's so good, so refreshing, to see such a genuinely happy post about postpartum anything really. I'm not bashing anyone, we all have our positive and negative experiences. It just makes me happy to see other happy and I hope everyone finds something today ... |
7,308,643 | mommit | Hey, you win some and you lose some! I weighed a little less after my first was born but I think the lost weight was actually muscle. |
7,308,644 | mommit | Never let someone else steal your joy! Good on you for loving your body and modeling body positivity for your child! |
7,308,645 | mommit | Can’t relate but I’m happy for you! |
7,308,646 | mommit | I got super skinny post kids, so now, years later, I’m back to my pre pregnancy weight, and it’s actually a negative in my books, but I like my boobs better post kids. Not everyone hates what pregnancy does to their bodies, but enough do that it’s a source of tension. |
7,308,647 | mommit | There is nothing wrong with that and good for you! Eating healthy and exercising during pregnancy is good for you AND the baby! People who are rude about it are most likely just bitter/jealous. I can relate but for different reasons. I actually had a lot of eating issues during pregnancy and lost 30lbs. When I gave bir... |
7,308,648 | mommit | I had a similar experience and felt that way too - 3 months after giving birth I was in such great shape! ...and then I stopped breastfeeding, and gained some of it back. Know that it's probably going to be a struggle whenever you stop breastfeeding, but yeah - enjoy it now! And I hope you fare better than I did in t... |
7,308,649 | mommit | First: congrats, not only for the weight loss and your „new“ body, but also for making all these efforts to eat clean / stay healthy - that‘s good for you and your baby. Second: personally I appreciate posts like yours as they are pointing out that not every pregnancy leads to a body-desaster. Social Media would often... |
7,308,650 | mommit | Good for you lady! So happy for you I think there's an unhealthy culture these days of not sharing anything good or happy because it might offend someone. While I see the value in that in some cases (like blindly sharing something without realizing that many people struggle with that) I think we take it too far nowa... |
7,308,651 | mommit | Yay! I wanna jump on this train too because I can’t elsewhere. I was my heaviest when I got pregnant due to four years of infertility treatments wreaking havoc on my body. Like you, I vowed to make good food choices for me and baby while pregnant. I only gained 18lbs while pregnant and I looked adorable! I’m 6 months p... |
7,308,652 | mommit | That's great. This whole motherhood thing is hard enough without hating your body after all that hard work. I felt great after my first. With both pregnancies I only gained like 15 lbs, and my face got thinner. But after my second (two days ago) I was really looking forward to not having a big belly anymore, but just g... |
7,308,653 | mommit | That’s awesome! I gained a lot of weight especially at the end of my pregnancy, and breastfeeding made me lose it all and more. I got so skinny. It didn’t last after I stopped breastfeeding but I wish I would have felt better about myself when I DID look like that. I kinda didn’t realize how good I had it. I’m glad you... |
7,308,654 | mommit | Im even smaller than pre pregnancy and im only 4 months post partum. And im happy about my new body lol. Dont care what anyone has to say. Im happy and thats all is what matters. If someone is offended, good for them |
7,308,655 | mommit | I put on 60 lbs while pregnant, but I'm vain as hell. So after I had kiddo, I went low carb and start weightlifting in earnest. Got down to 10 lbs less than my pre pregnancy weight and was toned af.I was sending all the nudes, lmao. Huge breastfeeding tiddies, feel like an amazing volcano goddess cause I just created m... |
7,308,656 | mommit | Was your doctor on board? Are you within your healthy weight range? Was your baby born not underweight? If the answer is yes, then people don't have the right to judge you |
7,308,657 | mommit | I think that’s awesome! We shouldn’t be hateful on other peoples joys. |
7,308,658 | mommit | Love this! I think we should see more of this without anyone being offended so that we can remove the all gloomy air. I have some challenges with my postpartum body but not so bad and this just makes me think that I just need to work a little for it to get better. |
7,308,659 | mommit | I had this a bit too. I was just a little curvy before baby, then baby sat on me like a basketball under my shirt and then breastfeeding gave me huge boobs and made me lose a ton of weight including off my bum where I actually enjoyed having my curves. I actually don’t love the proportions now because my shirts hang aw... |
7,308,660 | mommit | Good for you!! I lost a lot during my first pregnancy because of first trimester nausea and went into labor at exactly my prepregnancy weight. I LOVED my post partum body! I’m now 24 weeks with my second and I haven’t gained even half a pound. I’m showing HUGE and my baby is measuring really heavy according to the ultr... |
7,308,661 | mommit | I also loved my postpartum body, I felt amazing even with all the stretch marks!! I had hips for the first time in my life and boobs too!! Now I'm done having kids though, I've gained a few pounds over the last year(thanks covid), my boobs aren't as attractive as they were when I was nursing, and now I'm trying to get ... |
7,308,662 | mommit | So much positivity for you! I've been feeling my postpartum body as well. I finally have boobs to balance out my hips and I think it looks great! Hubby agrees |
7,308,663 | mommit | No need to feel guilty! |
7,308,664 | mommit | So happy for you!! Don’t ever feel bad for feeling good about yourself. Thanks for spreading some positivity sending you so much love and light!! |
7,308,665 | mommit | Who the fuck is mad at you over this, you do not need that negativity girl honestly I WISH I was in this boat. I absolutely hate my body but that's really a continuation issue moreso than a post partum issue, just kind of exacerbated my intrusive thoughts. Enjoy it, flaunt it, love it. I'm incredibly happy to hear thi... |
7,308,666 | mommit | I lost a bunch of weight postpartum from my hashimotos and for a while being so skinny actually made me hate my body. Now I’ve put on ten lbs or so and I feel wonderful! I can’t brag about my body but damn I want to! |
7,308,667 | mommit | My wife had HG when she was pregnant, so she ended up losing 20 lbs during her first trimester, and ended up skinnier after her pregnancy than before. That's just to say you aren't alone. She felt a lot of scrutiny about her body as well, but I think she realizes now a lot of it was self imagined. People who knew her w... |
7,308,668 | mommit | My BFF lost a lot of weight right after pregnancy. She changed her eating habits, stopped drinking, etc. after finding she was pregnant. She would randomly eat salads before pregnancy but craved them while pregnant. She was one of the lucky ones that lost all kinds of breastfeeding weight in all the right places and st... |
7,308,669 | mommit | Honestly I gained 30 pounds when I didn’t “need” to and I haven’t lost it but I don’t care at all. I love my body like this and 60 pounds lighter. I’m proud it made and grew a baby! |
7,308,670 | mommit | I was 287lb on 2/20/2018 and lost 130lb after bypass surgery and was super healthy and very fit after being a very active gym goer and I loved my body, I got pregnant in 2020, (thanks COVID). But I actually only gained 25lb and while breastfeeding I lost the 25lb and more. I still feel way better about myself after pre... |
7,308,671 | mommit | I learned that I had Lipedema during my first pregnancy, and that knowledge really helped me to not only navigate pregnancy, but what would (and would never) work long term. I lost about 30lbs and kept it off with the second pregnancy. I will never have smooth, slender legs, but what I DO have is a body that is capable... |
7,308,672 | mommit | Let’s normalize loving our bodies after giving birth. We created a life and that in itself is amazing. I hope other women grow to have the same mindset as you! |
7,308,673 | mommit | That’s wonderful!! I started my pregnancy overweight and ended up losing 14 lbs in the first trimester. I think my overall gain was like 15-18 lbs above my start at the end. I’m two years out and about the same weight as I was before getting pregnant, but things are, shall we say, “reorganized.” |
7,308,674 | mommit | Oh yes girl, LOVE YOUR POSTPARTUM BODY!!!! Look I gain 100lbs was just huge so cudos to you!! This is an awesome post!!! No shaming here!! |
7,308,675 | mommit | Ahhh so happy for you great to hear a positive. I had a great body before pregnancy ! and breastfeeding made my boobs flat and I had a put on a lot of weight. I thought after the night sweats my swolleness would go but no. I’m just huge. Huge legs and fatty arms. My belly is big and flabby and I now have a bloating p... |
7,308,676 | mommit | I was working on getting in shape/finally losing the weight from my first pregnancy when I got pregnant and then also ended up with gestational diabetes (for the second time, but my attitude about it was much better the second time around). I’m 2.5w postpartum and already only 12lbs away from my pre-pregnancy weight. T... |
7,308,677 | mommit | Beautiful post I think we need to start hearing more of these |
7,308,678 | mommit | I also love my postpartum body! I mean like but I don’t hate! Yea I got a lot of stretch marks but it doesn’t bug me as much as I thought It would. And I use to hateeeee my hip dips… after pregnancy, gone ! |
7,308,679 | mommit | I relate, except for the guilt part. I've hated my body since puberty and always struggled with my weight. Then I got pregnant and my body decided it no longer needed to gain weight, baby could just eat my preexisting fat stores. I'm about 15lbs lighter now than I was when I got pregnant without even trying...though to... |
7,308,680 | mommit | I’m so happy for you! I feel like pregnancy has been the first time I’ve been able to give my body grace. I’m 36 weeks and have only gained about 20 pounds and while I realize it’ll still go up, it’s honestly the least of my worries and that feels lovely. |
7,308,681 | mommit | I think that's amazing! I was never naturally skinny before having kids. After my first I worked SO HARD to get myself into an emotionally and physically healthy place. Finally got down to an optimal weight and was able to maintain it through babies 2 and 3. Actually, after 3 I got down to my lowest weight/smallest jea... |
7,308,682 | mommit | Don’t be afraid to feel proud, those that make you feel bad or guilty are selfish and probably not true friends. You worked hard and you deserve it! |
7,308,683 | mommit | Yay Mama! Go you! I’m super happy with my postpartum body too, I was a stick before. I ate extremely healthy during my pregnancy and gained boobs and a booty. I commented on another thread and got downvoted like crazy for loving my after birth body. What can you do. |
7,308,684 | mommit | I have pretty gnarly self esteem issues and always have, however I do feel like my body confidence has gotten better since having a child. I enjoy how my hips have widened a lot personally. I weigh a little more than I used to prefer, but it doesn’t bother me so much. |
7,308,685 | mommit | I may only be 5 pounds heavier here at 4 days postpartum than I was before I got pregnant. I tried to limit sugar. I gained like 25 pounds. I'm proud too. |
7,308,686 | mommit | Im happy for you :) |
7,308,687 | mommit | I have some body dysmoprphia since getting back to my prepregnancy weight. I thought I'd still keep my boobs but those vanished the instant I stopped EBF. Sad day lol |
7,308,688 | mommit | Haters gonna hate Rock your fabulous body mama! |
7,308,689 | mommit | I felt the same way during my first pregnancy!!! It’s a wonderful empowering feeling too, never feel bad about feeling good about yourself especially when you’re doing the work to be healthy—that shit is hard to do! This last recent pregnancy, absolutely did not feel the same haha opposite actually. So I say any way y... |
7,308,690 | mommit | It’s so awesome you’re feeling good! Listen, everyone’s pregnancy journey is different- a range of changes and emotions. I totally get that a lot of women struggle but you should be so proud and joyful that you’re loving your new bod!! That’s amazing and exciting and fun. I love this subreddit because I feel like so ma... |
7,308,691 | mommit | My 18m pp body was my goal weight, and ppl, mainly women, just hated me for it. |
7,308,692 | mommit | I loved my postpartum body too! I was so petite before pregnancy .. all of the sudden I had hips and for a little while even some thighs. It was nice to fill my shorts in and I had a flat stomache because of my wide hips… now I’m back to before except with more of a gut lol |
7,308,693 | mommit | Good for you!! Shout it from the mountain tops, it’s a wonderful thing to love your body. |
7,308,694 | mommit | This is beautiful |
7,308,695 | mommit | Yay you!!! We're all on a different journey with our bodies. Some times we love them, some times we don't. Take the good times when you can. Do not for a second feel bad about loving your body during this postpartum time, even though other women struggle during the same time. Do, for all the seconds, feel awesome a... |
7,308,696 | mommit | Girl, same thing happened to me. I gained weight finishing my PhD and having a back injury. I only gained 15 lbs pregnant and had a super fit pregnancy. I’m 15 months postpartum and I have worked hard to maintain my fitness. Diet has been harder with exhaustion. But I look in the mirror today and I am proud of my body ... |
7,308,697 | mommit | Don't feel guilty, I never lost the pregnancy weight, but thats on me, no shade at you. You've worked hard to be healthy, you should be proud. The only thing I dont like is moms feeling pressured to "bounce back". |
7,308,698 | mommit | Good for you! I was definitely fitter and slimmer before my two (working on it), especially around my waist, and now I have a scar, stretch marks and a little pouch but even with all that, I feel I look more kindly on my body in a sort of “hey cool look what we did!” way |
7,308,699 | mommit | After my first was born, I was okay with the way my body looked. I saw my stomich stretch marks as beautiful. It was a sign I carried my baby to term and that they were once there. Now after my second I hate how I look. My boobs are ginormas and my clothes don't fit right. It has made my body look very disproportionate... |
7,308,700 | mommit | I had severe body dysmorphia pre-pregnancy. I am mid-sized but always felt much larger. During pregnancy I gained 25lb but I loved how I looked. I am 7weeks PP and I still love myself. I only have 5lb left to pre-baby. I don’t love my stretch marks and the stretched tummy skin but my body image issues are completely go... |
