Post-Baby Body

I never expected to pop right back into shape after I gave birth (just hoped and prayed) but I wasn't prepared for how different my body would be. Not to scare any first time mummies out there, but it's not the prettiest sight.

I saw all the celebrities appearing weeks after giving brith looking no different and assumed I'd be pretty much the same - I'm young and slim, why wouldn't I be like that?
Because I don't have a nutritionist and personal trainer (or the will power) that's why. I can't exercise properly for another week and I'm breastfeeding so can't diet.

It's been five weeks since I popped the little one out, and yes I've lost a lot of my baby belly, but I have no clothes that fit. My maternity stuff is obviously massive, but my pre-preggo clothes are nowhere near fitting. I have a wedding to go to on Sunday, and have been trying desperately to find and outfit that doesn't make me look like a wobbly blob.

I have given up after a depressing incident in the H&M changing rooms. I found two gorgeous dresses, and I was reasonable - I didn't pick up and 8 or a 10 because I knew they wouldn't fit, but I picked up one dress in a 12, and another in a 14. I skipped up to the changing rooms, pleased I'd found something.
The 12 barely fit over my head, let alone did up.
The 14 almost zipped all the way up, so I took off my bra, determined to get it on. It still didn't do up, and then Baby Bear started crying outside. Bugger. I saw two wet patches spreading rapidly on the dress and tried to get out of it quickly. That was when my let-down really kicked in a mik started spraying everywhere - over the mirror, running down my belly, dripping on the floor. I grabbed my breastpads and stemmed the flow, before dressing quickly and running from the shop red-faced.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LOOK NICE WHEN I LEAK EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME!!!!??? PRETTY DRESSES AND MASSIVE, LEAKY, VEINY BOOBIES DON'T GO!!!!!

So I'm going naked.

If I'm not arrested for public indecency (Because nobody wants to see my saggy, stretchmarky tummy, ever-expanding arse and big veiny boobies) I'll write again soon to let you know how it went

Eagerly awaiting a normal body
