How has your hair/body changed since having kids ( years pp )

[Gagglegeese]

My belly button is now T shape.
I have a little stretch mark that has caused the skin on my tummy to be a bit saggy ..
My boobs have shrivels unevenly ...

A small section of hair that fell out won't grow past half and inch .
The front of my hair seems more brittle .

I'm 4 years pp

3 years PP with DC2. Boobs smaller and saggier (deffo spaniels ears). Stomach flat (but I am a fitness freak) and there’s excess skin and my abs will never meet in the middle again).

But it's real though @Tortycat , it's real stuff.

I have a constant 'woman's tummy', that little pouch below my navel.

My periods are lighter (Praise be!) and shorter

No thrush (yet!)

Breasts are long and sad looking

My hair is drier

2yrs PP

Boobs aren't exactly smaller but they're less full after 2.5 years of breastfeeding. But 4 years PP I'm still a stone lighter than I was before getting pregnant and years of lugging DS around has done wonders for toning my arms.

My hair has never been so thick after being super thin pre pregnancy, literally the only positive change

Terrible skin, had perfectly clear skin pre pregnancy bar the odd spot every few months, it’s now blotchy, covered in spots and dull

Boobs have changed shape and are smaller and flatter than before

I’ve put on about 1.5 stone

I gained about 10 new weird moles!

Stretch marks on both hips

Belly button is stretched out and like an oval shape now rather than a circle

Now put weight on around my tummy which looks like a bump (used to only ever put on my bum and legs)

Episiotomy scar

Wider hips

She’s worth it though

That’s 1.5 years PP

4 years post pregnancy.
I look like shit most of the time.
Huge dark circles under eyes.
Still a size 8, but more squishy and not as toned. I had a nice pert bum that looked great in a skirt. Not anymore.

Hair a bit thinner and generally looks worse.
Nails brake.
Boobs used to be small but a good, round shape. A good size B with nice nipples. Now -- hideous. Bigger but baggy and half empty feeling! Nips used to be a nice light pink. Now they are a revolting shade of almost pure.

I love love love my dc!!!!! All worth it!

*almost purple

3yrs post last baby (3 dcs)

Broader shoulders and ribs
Saggier smaller boobs, permanently pointy nipples
Bigger feet
Lighter, more regular periods
Unable to comfortably/effectively use tampons any more
Less frequent headaches - possibly this is due to not office working any more rather than the babies but it’d be nice to think there were one good side-effect!

Another one with feet a size bigger! I had to go out and replace all my shoes 🙈

2.5y PP

Around 10kg overweight (but not that much worse than before).

One boob looks fairly normal, the other is missing (that mastitis turned out to be more sinister than initially thought)

Midriff is a mess, partly thanks to supersized baby

Hair fell out big time after birth and I now sport a rather unnaturally coloured close crop

I feel pretty broken and look a bloated mess without clothes although bizarrely my style and general appearance are complimented and admired more than before!

Never been more thankful for good make up and flattering clothes than after having DD!

Broader hips
Grey hairs
Less tooth enamel (HG)

The only thing is loose skin in my lower belly.
I am 19 years pp

C-section scar & attendant overhang. Stretch marks on stomach. Saggier breasts.

I've always been fat, never taken a great pride in my figure. So I suppose motherhood hasn't taken that from me! Just my sense of identity and career.

I do love those little people though. 6 & 3. They're beautiful.

@EagleRay respect to you and wishing you well

6 years pp. stomach piercing caused vertical stretch mark. C section scar and overhang but made better or worse by slimming or weight gain. I can't get away with a few pounds over like I used to.

Boobs wrecked for about 4 years but back to normal now. Very slight stretch marks but doubt anyone but me can see them.

Never thought I would look this good immediately after I had dd1. In all fairness if I made more effort with diet and exercise I would look v similar to before I had kids which was v athletic

I’m fatter. I carry all my weight on my belly whereas I used to have an hourglass figure even when overweight.

I feel like my hair gets thicker with every passing day. Which is fine! I lost a lot of hair, really noticeably after my first pregnancy but it came back with a vengeance after a while.

I now have rosacea unsure I’d its related to having been pregnant but I only started getting it post pregnancy.

My boobs are massive (HH) but I have a fairly narrow back. When I lose weight it’s only ever off my back. Which is annoying. However my boobs are saggy as hell which upsets me.

I’m 7 years pp.

Used to be size 8-10, now 12-14 and can’t seem to shift it. Wouldn’t mind so much except a lot of it is on my tummy and i worry people will think I’m pregnant again.

Boobs are a bit bigger, probably due to my weight. They’re quite a nice shape still.

Hair is really dry and thinner, but it also has a slight wave to it which is quite nice.

Skin more sensitive and scars easily. Allergic to more things!

4 years pp. The wrong side of 35 too which might have something to do with it

Great hair, shit skin!!

It’s aged me massively. I never get id’d for alcohol anymore. I’m always tired and my back hurts if I sleep in the same position for too long.

The upside is I’ve lost the baby weight (only a stone) so I’m about the same weight pre dcs.
