I just had my first baby 6 months ago by c-section. I love him so much even though his birth and my recovery was very traumatic for me. I have lost a significant amount if weight in the past but was slowly gaining since I met my husband. Both of us were. By the time I got pregnant, I was up 30 pounds. During my pregnancy my weight gain was out of control. I was eating healthy and counting calories but I was still putting on about 3-5 pounds per month. I dreaded my Dr. visits because I knew my weight gain was going to be an issue every month. It was hard to let my husband see how much I was gaining every month too but I'm glad he was there go support me at each visit. I don't have much in common with my friends any more. I'm also the first of my generation in my family to have a baby so I feel a bit isolated right now. My husband is great. He loves his son and he will help me by doing anything I ask, but I wish I didn't have to ask all the time.
I guess I am a little overwhelmed. I work full time and I cook and clean and 90% or more of the baby care is up to me when I get home at 11am. There is so much pressure from outside of and within me to be perfect and to balance all these rolls. My self esteem has been in the dumps. All the changes in my body and emotional changes I've gone through this year makes me feel inadequate in just about every area; I feel like I'm not doing enough and I feel like I'm asking too much from my family.
I'm sure all this sounds pretty depressing- but I'm happy to have my little boy and I love my husband dearly and I would do it all over again if I had the choice.
I am eating well and counting calories and working out at the gym and I'm starting to feel better each day. I try to stay positive and be kind to myself to overcome these insecurities that are holding me back.
