...as in, children that you gave birth to... did you go through a phase of feeling and looking rubbish after your baby was born? Or another way of asking the same question, will I ever look and feel better or is this how I look now? I'm 4 months on and still 2.5 stone heavier, wrinklier, and have started going grey. My hairs falling out and looks thin and lank and of course I've a horrid wobbly tummy. Boobs are feeling less firm and looking lower having given up breastfeeding and my skin is looking unhealthy and dull. After c-section I'm only just tentatively able to do basic yoga and my back is kaput.
My hair used to be thick and shiny, my skin was radiant and I was slimish. I wasn't ever super confident in my appearance but now I dream of looking like I used to. I don't expect to remove wrinkles or grey hairs but will anything improve or have I got old overnight?
Sorry if it's shallow to ask this but I do feel it's contributing to my general feeling a bit crappy. (Also for context I'm nearly 40, first baby).
