I remember our bed broke when I was pregnant with my 9yo. We were both in bed, asleep, and it collapsed, and my husband was all āI canāt believe youāre so big it broke the bedā thanks mateOn the weight chat, I haven't gained any weight since having Everleigh but I'm the same how my shape has changed. I've had to go up a clothes size and even sometimes that's tight.
And to top it off,
I sat up on the edge of the bed this morning and the bed broke.
So.
Yeah.
and my hips are much wider so finding jeans to fit has been a nightmare. We did a couple of days of half formula/half cows milk, but that was just because I had some of the pre made bottles to use up. Was also buzzing to get rid of the prep machine and the steriliser!Formula to cows milk. Those who have made the switch, did anyone do a straight swap with success? Iām tempted as I bulk by and my supply is going to run out just before they turn 1But not sure if they need to be weaned off formula? (Buzzing to retire my prep machine and get some kitchen counter space back
)
My partner was at work last night so I can't even blame himI remember our bed broke when I was pregnant with my 9yo. We were both in bed, asleep, and it collapsed, and my husband was all āI canāt believe youāre so big it broke the bedā thanks mate
I am sure it was a bed on the edge and it was just the last straw! Shame it wasnāt MrBore who had it happen though, you could have held it over his head for a whileMy partner was at work last night so I can't even blame him
He text me saying he'd had a crap night and work and I responded with "Ummm. Just to make your night worse, I broke the bed."
I feel the same, I feel so gross and self conscious about my body after pregnancy. As other have said Iām back to my pre pregnancy weight, but my shape has changed so much that I donāt feel anywhere near the same as before and nothing fits. My boobs are horrendously saggy now after feeding my chunky baby, they actually make me want to weep when I look at themPopped this under a spolier just incase it triggers anyone. Does anyone else have issues with body image after pregnancy? I'm on my 3rd now and I feel completley shite about myself. I'm back down to pre pregnancy weight of 10st and I'm 5"6 ish so not overweight but I just feel gross. Doesn't help we went out with family today and my sister is stick thin after 3 kids and just looks amazing, always being complimented etc and I'm just sat there feeling awful about myself.
Pre kids when I was like 8st I thought I was huge as well and obviously wasn't, I just feel like I'll never be happy with myself
and my pouch at the bottom of my stomach is just so bad, I canāt find any jeans that look right on me, Iām close to giving up after ordering so many pairs and returning them all. Itās so hard to find your style again after having a baby, I find I just look for clothes that I can hide behind.Same as others. And the irony that I type this having just finished a tub of ice cream is not lost on mePopped this under a spolier just incase it triggers anyone.

Ugh I'm dreading this, I haven't had to regularly work in the office since spring 2021, and similar to loads of others on here I am the same size as I was pre babies but my stomach just seems so soft and my waist has disappeared!
Yeah I havenāt been in the office since before covid! I used to always wear little dresses with tights and shoes but that feels too formal now. Thereās no consistency either - one of my work mates wears leggings and T-shirts but I feel way too casual in those.
Iām not really sure, I donāt know how these things work, it didnāt really affect anything until after birth so? Itās something I would have to look into. The thought terrifies me but I donāt feel ready to say never again!I hated being pregnant. Loved newborn, hate 4months+ (not the baby, just the things they all get so frustrated at not being able to do) and baby is a whirlwind and kids drive me madā¦ so I like them all for about 4 months
Ah, that is totally understandable about having another one. Because of how baby Rita was born, can they monitor you closer?
Same, I wore a lot of short dresses and tights and that's just not me any more! I should probably start panicking about this soon while I still have a few months to panicYeah I havenāt been in the office since before covid! I used to always wear little dresses with tights and shoes but that feels too formal now. Thereās no consistency either - one of my work mates wears leggings and T-shirts but I feel way too casual in those.
The worst thing is you end up overthinking it, spending a fortune on clothes and no one else cares anyway
Catching up and pretending I didnāt see this so I donāt have to admit baby Waka is in fact NOT a baby anymore
Iām never leaving!I thought Iād care but I just donāt! If itās clean, Iām wearing it. In fact I wore a hoodie on Thursday and I looked down at 10am and it had 3 massive milk stains from baby Waka. Did I take it off? NoYeah I havenāt been in the office since before covid! I used to always wear little dresses with tights and shoes but that feels too formal now.

Iām wfh do it doesnāt feel too daunting, but I do feel a bit wobbly about mat leave being over. It feels like the end of quite a monumental chapter and of course Iām plagued by the thoughts of whether I made enough of the time now that Iāll never get it back 
Same here - also back tomorrow, also wfh and also sitting here thinking about all the days I didnāt really do much and wishing Iād done more!None of you are allowed to leave thanks. I expect to be coming here when baby o is a moody teenager.
Well, Iām officially back at work tomorrow
. Why canāt we be paid a good wage to stay at home with our babies 
. . Typical! It can be hard being back and trying to split yourself, working like you always did, and trying to parent like you donāt work. Just be kind to yourself these next weeks while the dust settles xI am like you, 100% a better mum when I have that time to myself at work! And youāll really appreciate those wednesdays too.
Give yourself some more credit, your baby will definitely not reject you. I have heard of some babies being a bit sulky but also youāll most likely get to see the pure joy on her face when you return. I hope you sort the flights out ok, it will be such an amazing break you will return quite rejuvenated from that āmeā time (Iām not at all jealous š„²)
