5 months on and identity crisis

[Fanofpotato]

I'm almost 5 months post partum and trying to be healthy and get back to being "myself". I'm still breastfeeding and know that i have diasastis recti so still have a wobbly tummy - I'm working on this. I'm going to a party next weekend and need clothes but i don't feel like I know my style anymore. Is this because i am a size bigger? I look in the mirror and i see someone else looking at me, my face seems to have changed since having my baby and it's not just the bags! I've been googling "mum fashion" and have been buying tons of new make up and nice bathroom/skin stuff. None of this seems to be working...does anyone else feel like this?

Hi op, I'm in a similar position. My DS is 8 months old, I'm breast feeding and my tummy muscles haven't quite re-joined yet. I feel frumpy because of the horrendous nursing bras and wobbly tummy. If I was going somewhere I'd definitely be buying a decent bra and new outfit! Have you got something to wear to the party?

Maybe that's it - i need to buy a decent nursing bra. Is it worth it though as i plan to give up bf when baby is being weaned. Good to hear it's not just me feeling frumpy, it's really depressing not recognising yourself!

Not bought an outfit. Gave up!

i wouldn't waste my money if your going to be stopping in a month. I used to live in jeans before i was pregnant, now can't remember the last time i wore any! Have you looked at any maxi dresses? There's lots around at the mo and would be flattering over the tummy.
