After a baby when did you start to feel better about the way you look?

Had a baby 13 weeks ago, clothes don't fit, strange lumpy belly (the usual). Oh yes and first pregnancy. When did you start to feel better about the way you looked? And was there anything you did in particular? Don't worry I don't have PND, I couldn't be happier :-) just wondering if anyone else was the same?

My stomach didn't go back to normal but was back to my normal size in about a month. Not sure how long it took for it to go flat again but was probably about your time now. BUT....I had to go straight back to work. I had 1 month off with second child and 3 days off with third...so I presume that helped.

it's different for different people.....I went back to how I looked before quite quickly simply because I played a lot of sport.....some of my mates took about 6 months which was okay...

Soon as the OH was capable of being left holding the babe I was off shopping - bliss!

Wont be long for your weight to drop back.......dont buy sexy clothes as you'll be putting the weight back on ;)

After I had my son 3 years ago I piled so much weight on well over 7stone. I also was living with very severe domestic violence and felt trapped as the pregnancy was not planned at all.
After I had him I was at a very low point in my life. I went and joined slimming world and started to lose the weight and began to feel better.
I had to flee my ex husband but started a new life in a different area.
I think it's important to do something that's just for you like a pamper session or exercise.
