Light-hearted ish!

My LO is 10 months old and while I know having a baby changes your body, I may not have been fully prepared 😂

In particular;

  • I have to 'tuck my tummy in' jeans and trousers! *my boobs feel a bit "empty" now and ache if I don't sleep in crop top sports bras
  • Don't even get me started on the perils of jumping jacks 😂

Can you help cheer me up while I dellusionarily dream of hipster jeans, cropped tops and perky boobs? 😂

Well my vag is now the size of a wizard’s sleeve, but other than that I’m all good 😳

Yes I feel you, my brain is still convinced I'm 9 months large!

Sorry reply function not working for me.

Gosh you're all right about the feet, I used to get into a 6.5 but firmly a 7 now!

Also the rib cage thing. That weird bulge at the base of it. Hoping that'll go!

I've also been left with inconvinient fear of heights. I can't walk a spiral staircase (in a castle or similar, not like I have one!) Without feeling dizzy and sick. Apparently this is a fairly common side effect of pregnancy!

You're all giving me hope my boobs will firm up, although more like oranges in socks than melons 😂
