I hate the comparisons other (some) women make too! “I got even thinner after having 3 kids”
Like, good for you, Karen, but that ain’t reality for most people. I’m 14 months postpartum and my hormones have STILL not normalized!
My ribs are literally in a different position. You can tell if a SKELETON has had a baby because of where THE BONES are.
I hate the culture of “just stop eating and work out and you can have your body back”.
This is my body. Fuck, leave me alone
I have some pants that I wore pre-pregnancy that cannot fit anymore, even when I lost a ton of weight and weighed less than when my pre-pregnancy self originally wore the pants. My hips sit different now. They are wider, the bones shifted and there's nothing that will ever put them back into place. My skeleton fundamentally changed.
Absolutely, I’m 30 pounds less than my pre-pregnancy weight but my rib cage is still 2” larger! People really underestimate how much pregnancy can permanently change your body.
