AIBU to think this is COMPLETELY unfair!?!!

[waffilyversati1e]

I gave birth 10 weeks ago. He is my third child and I adore him.

I am not a particularly vain person but something is really sticking in my throat at the moment.
I am currently a good 30lbs lighter than I was pre pregnancy BUT when I try to wear non maternity trousers they still dig in far too much to be comfortable when sitting down (and frankly I sit a lot at the moment) so I currently have 1 pair of trousers which are now really baggy and 2 pairs of leggings on rotation

AIBU to feel like this is wholly unreasonable of my jelly belly? 30lbs lighter!! ARGGHHHH!!

I am not looking for pats on the back - the weight was lost through a lot of gallstones, pregnancy sickness, a craving for ice rather than the junk of previous pregnancies and a nice dose of obstetric cholestasis which left me too stressed to eat crap BUT a loss is a loss, right?!

No, it's not fair! YANBU.

I feel the same (minus the 30lbs loss )

I fear nothing will ever get rid of this jellly belly

Try and look at the good things? Other parts must have shrunk and your stomach muscles will still be recovering from the pregnancy.
But yes YANBU, it is unfair!

The one advantage I can see is that my jelly belly is fairly pliable, so I can kind of roll it up a bit and stuff it into my pants/jeans. I got the lovely little c section overhang too, like icing sliding off a cake.

...but yeah, YANBU.

Start doing PF exercises, and in a couple of weeks or when you have clearance from the doctor some cardio exercise and some gentle toning for your middle and back. Not just for cosmetic purposes, flat tummy or anything, but it will stop you having urinary incontinence, bad back and will help with sexual sensitivity, posture, everything really. Also it will help keep the 30lbs off.
