[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure there is really anything  to do - this is mostly just venting.

We are 5 months post-partum and while DW was actually dropping weight for a while (breast feeding was helping) but she's still close to her birth weight and has started gaining again.  The maternity pants came back out.  The ice cream diet hasn't slowed down at all.  I love her, and we're actually having sex again, and I still think she's got a beautiful face, but the fat is starting to be a problem.  She was never a skinny person and I'm OK with that, but instead of leveraging the breast feeding weight loss advantage, she's just chowing down.  The pregnancy was complicated so we didn't have sex then (bummed me out because I have a little pregnancy fetish), and now I'm not sure we will get back in the groove because I'm just not really attracted.  She's nearly a foot shorter than I am but has like 20 lb advantage on me.  I love her and our family, but I just don't think I can gin up a fat fetish.   :( [/quote]

I think it's fine to gripe on an Internet forum, but please also consider that there's a lot of stuff going on with her body and you probably don't know half of it. I'm 3.5 months postpartum and here are some of mine that my husband doesn't know about: I pee with impact exercise (jumping jacks, running, etc); I think I have a prolapse, so my lady bits often just feel weird, and I now sweat profusely (I'm assuming hormones?).  Your wife could be dealing with plenty that you don't know about. You should just give it time, especially if she's breastfeeding. I dropped half my pregnancy weight right away with my first, but it took 5-6 months for the other half to go away (and I ended up being under my prepregnancy weight by 8-9 months out).

Oh, and Many of the posters this far in to the thread seem to be assholes. Don't become like that. [/quote]
