[quote=Anonymous]OP I had this exact same experience and also hated it. I had PPD and felt horrible and people kept saying "but you look great!" like this would somehow resolve my postpartum symptoms. Also I know for a fact I did not look "amazing" as I have seen the photos. I think what people were actually commenting on was the fact that I shed the "baby weight" pretty quickly. I went from looking 10 months pregnant to not looking pregnant, and people were like "oh you're not fat anymore, that's amazing!" But I looked tired and overwhelmed, not "amazing." The fixation on weight post partum makes people overlook a whole host of other issues that are actually a lot more important than whether someone who just had a baby has lost 10 lbs or 30 lbs.[/quote]
