[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just would love for people not to comment on other people’s bodies, positively or negatively, unless they are a medical professional and the comments are related to a health concern. I understand this person was trying to be nice but find something else to say. I too have a similar story of intense PPA meaning that was back to my pre-pregnancy weight at my scar check appointment two weeks post partum. I honestly will never understand why that wasn’t a red flag.[/quote]

Just wanted to highlight this post. I also dropped my pregnancy weight super fast and in retrospect it was absolutely a red flag. I was exhausted all the time and was struggling to get enough food/water while nursing, plus wound up with mastitis at one point which left me in bed for days but my mom and husband both downplayed it and at one point told me I was "milking it" to get out of doing things. I was 3 weeks postpartum, still bleeding, and nursed right through the mastitis as I was instructed to.

I didn't drop the weight because I was eating great and getting reasonable exercise. I dropped the weight because I was overwhelmed, hungry, struggling to keep up with the demands of nursing, and did not have a good support system around me that could help me with any of that.[/quote]
