[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One piece is birthing and (maybe) breastfeeding kids. The other is the wear and toll that childrearing can have. A decade of sleep deprivation, deferred self-care, diminished finances and all the stresses that children bring will have their effects.[/quote]

Yes, I look 10 years older than my close childfree friend. (Similar background/skin/etc).

I attribute 99% of it to sleep deprivation.

Same. I am an active mom and I am physically in better shape than in my 20s because I care more fitness instead of just being thin, but my face took a big punch when I got my kids and my body would be looking way better if I just had the same epiphany but without the kids.

My Childless friends look a solid 5 years younger than me and I think I fare well. I blame 100% of it on sleep deprivation / exhaustion.

In terms of post baby body, not face. I was lucky, body was not destroyed, but a couple friends gained 50 pounds and really disliked what it did to their body (belly, breasts in particular). Can be corrected but you change. We all grew a bit wider too (thoracic cage opened more, with my best friends we all noted our bra size changed but not only the cup). Finally there is the nether region. People should take more about it. It stays more open.. it definitely changed and not for the better[/quote]
