Feeling pretty?

Question

Hey moms!

I am a FTM and 6 weeks pp. I feel like I'm in someone else's body when I look at myself in the mirror. I think I need to do something for myself to feel like normal confident me again but I don't really know what. What do you ladies do to make yourselves feel pretty after childbirth? 
Maybe trying contacts or a hair switch or makeup? Idk, what have y'all done?

Answer

I feel pretty when I think about how fat I was 6 1/2 weeks ago 😂

Answer

I always feel better about myself when I shower and get dressed in real clothes, and do my hair and make-up.  I just feel more put together and more like myself.

I need to add in excercise again too.  That makes me feel like I'm doing something just for me too.

Answer

It takes along time (if ever) to feel like your old self again. I've found it really makes a difference of you get dressed and get out of the house on your own even if it's just to the store for groceries it gives your brain a chance to turn off mommy mode and just be you for a little bit. Don't worry it will get better, hang in there.

Answer

I went to my friend's wedding and spent time shopping for a dress then time on hair and makeup... And I made sure pictures were taken. That made me feel better. And I have proof it happened. Haha

Answer

I'm planning a complete make over. I'm cleaning up my diet now and focusing on that for now bc I'm still bleeding. When I can exercise, I'm going to focus on diet and exercise routine. When I finish a month of consistent diet and exercise I'm rewarding myself with new make up. Once my hair shed phase is done (hasn't started yet) I'm getting my hair done. Mani and pedi is also on the list. I've decided to approach this as a journey bc up until recently I've been hating my look pp. I'm doing everything in phases with rewards and concentrating on making new routines and habits. My goal is to be in the best shape of my life a year from now!!! Me 2.0!!

Answer

I was talking to my friend yesterday and just said that I don't even recognize me when I look in the mirror any more. I weigh less than I did before I got pregnant, but I feel like I look much worse. I did not expect to have these body image issues at all. I don't look or feel like me. 😞

Answer

I'm 5 weeks pp and feeling the same.  Getting dressed and doing my hair and make up helped for awhile but thats worn off. I'm holding onto 20 pounds since before I got pregnant.  I have been eating well and can't wait to start working out to feel like I'm getting back to normal.

Answer

I'm going through the same thing and also 6 weeks pp. I feel like my body should be back to normal by now and it's changed so much.. I've been giving myself mani/pedis when I have time and getting my hair done always makes me feel better!

Answer

See my issue Is my weight I feel fat and chubby but everyone is saying I look amazing ,  I gone back into size 8 clothes but I stilk feel horrible

Answer

The most time I even have for myself is the 5 mins I get to shower. I am in need of an eyebrow wax and a pedicure but I really don't have the opportunity between the new baby and our 3 year old and a husband who works long hours.
