AIBU to be depressed with my body?

[Tiredoftalking]

My DS3 is 3 months and this pregnancy completely wrecked my stomach muscles due to previous haemorrhage. 3 caesareans haven’t helped either. However the worst part came today when I went out to meet a friend for coffee and had no breastpads on. Went to bathroom and decided to improvise with stuffing nappies down my bra to prevent serious leaking. Am so depressed that my boobs are now so swollen/disfigured that having 2 nappies stuffed down my bra made no difference at all to how I looked!!

You sound like a beautiful (and adorable) mother! So you’re not the same, we all change, I think it just takes time to learn to love yourself again

Totally empathise with you. My DS is also 3 months and I'm feeling quite despondent about my stomach. He is my second child. After my first dc my stomach popped back into good shape after a month. However this time it's now 3 months post birth and my stomach still looks like a sack of potatoes. The rest of me looks slim and despite escaping any stretch marks my stomach sticks out in lumps and looks a mess. It also feels funny like the skin is slack and trying to slide off me. I feel very self conscious about it. My stomach was huge during both pregnancies so I guess there is only so much stretching that can take place before it wrecks the skin. I'm hoping that with time it will improve

Thanks bigbaboon I know that I am lucky to have 3 amazing kids but was just horrified that 2 nappies down my bra made no difference to the look.
Jaunty, definitely harder this time than the last 2 times!!

I feel your pain. DS2 is now 3 months and I weigh more now than when I gave birth. I hate the way I look at the moment and it flavours how I feel about everything. We’re going on holiday in April which means I have 4 months to lose 4 stone... no pressure, right?!
