How did your body change after pregnancy?

[dreamingincake]

In what ways did your body change after you gave birth? Were your bodily functions the same? Did your body parts change? Is your diet the same? Etc.

Going off my mom and aunt-their boobs got like 2-6 sizes bigger and stayed that way. Thankfully, my mom's boobs only stayed 2 sizes bigger. But it's not 1-1 correlation bc my mom started off with large C's and my sister has smaller boobs than I.. and I've got like large B-small C.
Also, they both kept on the weight and never went back to their pre baby size... and they only had a small number of kids. But I think I'll be ok because I work out more and eat a lot healthier in general.
Still, I'm not rockin the best genetics when it comes to bouncing back... like some women have 3 babies and flat stomachs a few months after... cruel fate.

I never gave birth but had an abortion at 23 weeks and 6 days. Overall, whilst I was pregnant I grew more/darker hair in some places, after pregnancy that stopped. I also started producing breast milk (I still can to some extent, its exactly one year later though) Still have the weight that I put on, part of it at least. My diet is the same as before the pregnancy again. Down there nothing had changed at all. The only real change I would say is continuous bleeding/period for almost a whole year. Not sure if this is the answer you were looking for but good luck.

I just had one at the beginning of Sept and the breast milk thing freaked me out after I had the abortion. My boobs were always sore and nipples got really dark, still haven't gone back to normal color.

@CCarrasco You answered my question perfectly. Thank you for sharing. :)

@CCarrasco Boy the breastmilk thing was terrible. They don't think of telling you that at the doctors! It hurt so much the first few days I almost cried sometimes. I can promise you they'll go back to their normal colour, at least for 80%. Mine were fine after about 3 months.

[CCarrasco]

Glad to help! @dreamingincake

[CCarrasco]

It absolutely hurt so bad. The cramping was the worst. Thank god for pain meds. Thanks for the info, it seems insignificant but I was worried about the nipple thing haha.

When I found out I was pregnant I weighed 135lbs I had a nice figure and I could cough with out peeing a little. Lol being honest I gained a lot of weight I have stretch marks my bladder will never be the same and my back hurts more often but I wouldn't change it for the world.

A bit thicker over all. Hip bones got stretched a bit ( not much... Can tell from skinny jean size). Natural birth. No epidural.
Right after givibg birth... Boobs hard as rock so much pain at night. Milk squirt out of no where.

[dreamingincake]

Did you choose not to have an epidural? What was that like? I can't imagine.

[3336PS]

I had bad exoeriences with needles since I was a kid so If I can avoid it and I did.
I heard it was just as painful to have a needle goes into your spine. Then my cousins spine was infected after.. So what's the point of getting pain killer if it's going to be just as painful.
Luckily, my pregnancy and delivery was easy.
1st pregnancy contraction started Friday afternoon... Not too terrible, just uneasy. Saturday morng I didn't want to go to the hospital and get send home. Waited till noon, was too painful, doctir said to go to the hospital. Baby came by 3 or 4 pm... Not too bad.
Hospitals naturally call for an anesthesiologist. He came, I wasn't aware, I had to scream and insist that I didn't want it.

Thank you for your story! Lovely insight from a mother :)

During my pregnancy my bra size went from 36b to 38d. My hips are about the same, maybe just a little wider then they were pre-pregnancy. I also have been breastfeeding, and was told by my doctor that after childbirth your cervix and uterus need about six weeks to heal before engaging in either masturbating or intercourse.

[Tenseven]

Bodily functions all in check thankfully. It did change me physically a little but I think I am more to blame than my kid growing inside me to be perfectly honest.

[mutedaisy]

Not much... My bra size went from b to dd. My hips are about the same. I barely have an appetite as usual. Didn't give birth vaginally, so I have a scar along my bikini line.

[vishna]

Did your breasts stay large post birth?

[mutedaisy]

@vishna unfortunately, yes. I'm hoping after breast feeding they shrink in size.

[skinningk20]

I really which I could tell you but I'm not yet pregnant or even soon to be! I really would love to be pregnant and have my own little man or little girl! And saying no to people to carrying him hehhee
Well you're body goes back to normal after you get pregnant but you have to work hard for this honestly

[LaurenGrace]

My boobs went from a b to a c my hips went from nz size 8 to 10 and my vagina got stretchier without getting looser

[newbie2015]

Yes. Im 120. Was 120. 5'7" i don't look the same. Your hips widened and you tend to carry a little extra weight on your belly

[Popo21]

Boobs went from b to c
I just look thicker but your entire body changes
It's hard to get back to your pre pregnancy habits in terms of eating and overall appearance

[zombiebabe]

have never been pregnant but all women i know that got pregnant got bigger boobs after pregnancy and their hair grew very long during pregnancy

[TuMeManques]

Little wider ribs and hips (not huge by any means) but the biggest difference was probably larger breasts and my hair definitely suffered!

[Dezzerrayy]

Everything changed boobs the get bigger your nipples get darker but they go back over time not size but color if you breast feed you get a maternaty line strecch mark well some get them hormone changes a lot yout whole life does

[OrangeBoy]
