[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]100% if you have more than one your body will suffer.[b] Once you are holding the baby you really won't care.[/quote][/b]

I wish people would really stop this narrative. Yes, I still care...10 years later. No, my body will never be the same. Yes, it changed after the first and I will never get it back despite weight loss. Things fit differently. It sucks and there is no way around it. It is the price women pay and it makes me really annoyed when people just say "you won't care when you are holding the baby" because it dismisses a woman's feelings and once again makes her feel that she has to sacrifice everything--even her feelings--to have a baby. There is just no respect for women as independent beings.

OP...it is normal to feel this way. You may get close to your body back and you might not. A second is harder than a first but a first can still change your body permanently (my boobs are bigger forever..which I dont' like and clothes fit differently even after 1...after 2, it was worse). My oldest is 10. I still miss my prebaby body. These are normal feelings and you are not alone.[/quote]

+1. No one would tell a woman undergoing chemo that it's shallow to miss having hair. [/quote]

No one would tell a woman undergoing chemo that she chose to have cancer. Pregnancy is a choice.[/quote]
