I had an induced labour at 18 weeks, there is too much background to cover but I will be here for him when he comes back with all the necessary equipment!
I have a question that no research is giving me any answers to. Has or is any other women out here struggling with their weight after the loss of their child, no matter how far along? I'm just a wee girl, 44kgs before getting pregnant and afterwards understandably 47kgs at 4 months. The one thing that I could feel remotely positive about was that I would at least shrink again, but it seems to me like i've lost my baby and my barely formed bump turned into flab instead and I have nothing to show for it. I used to look in the mirror and appreciate my body, I actually liked the look of my own body but now I can't help but nit pick in all areas of my body. Even my thighs have gained and some clothes i'm still waiting for feel comfortable in again. I know that I haven't turned to food as a comfort, I've always eaten much less than I need to, just a small dinner after work and I walk walk walk like there's no tomorrow, 2 hours daily on empty. So how could I possibly have gained and why won't these certain areas go back to normal? I know that it seems uncaring to toss and turn about my body that was carrying my baby but I can't help but feel like I will never love my body again so I would really appreciate some other women's experiences and some why's answered, please!
