Mine is 5.5 months old. Still wearing my maternity work pants because I don't want to see what size I actually am anymore.0 -
Still wearing my maturnity pants as well. Now instead of just it being for fitting a big prego belly I feel like it kinda sucks in my pudge lol0
-
Oh and my son is 3 months.0
-
I still eat like I'm pregnant...but I guess I'm bf so it isn't too bad. I just eat too much crap!0
-
I am 9 months PP and I still wear my maternity pants, my normal pants don't zip all the way so I put a rubber band through the button hole and around the button to get them to stay up and on without the muffin top, which I hate

my daughter is approaching nine months in a few days and i look like i am six months preggos.0
-
I choose my trusty beige nursing bra over my sexy Victoria's Secret bras every day. And I don't giveacrap.0
-
8 months PP (second baby)and let's just say....my bladder isn't what it used to be. TMI? Do your kegels ladies!!!0

DS is 13 months. The nursing bra is MUCH more comfortable.
I wore maternity pants until he was 6 months old.0 -
I actually enjoy pumping sessions cause it's the only "me"time I have for 15mins w/o getting up. Lol0

I enjoy them too because I get a few minutes to watch TV at work. I also enjoy nursing the baby because I can tell my husband I can't do things since I'm nursing. Burning calories AND being lazy? WIN! 0 -
If you're nursing you should wear a nursing bra because wearing underwire can give you mastitis. I never thought anything could make me give up underwire, but mastitis did!!
I'm not wearing my maternity pants anymore, BUT the pants I bought that were two sizes bigger than my pre-preggo size (the ones which were supposed to be temporary until I lost the weight and fit back in my pre-preggo pants)...yeah, 5 mos pp, they're my everyday pants now.0 -
My son is 8 months old and I just stopped wearing my maternity pants about a month ago when I MADE myself finally buy new clothes even though they were a bigger size then I wanted to buy, and a sexy pushup bra that my husband is thankful for. He wasn't into the nursing bras I guess lol

I'm with ya on the pants. I finally got down to one size bigger....but only in a few brands!0 -
There is a bathroom in my house that I haven't cleaned since the day before Max was born ... so 7 months ago.
I have no excuse, I just hate cleaning that one, and when I get a moment to myself, the last thing I want to do is clean that bathroom.0 -

I understand, luckily I only have one! I didn't clean the floors (hardwood) until a few weeks ago since Miles was born. I mean I swept and stuff, but first time cleaning them in over 6 months!0 -
Haha- I have to laugh at the bathroom comments. I'm in the same boat. I finally had to clean it because I thought it smelled like pee in there. After bleaching the whole bathroom, it still smelled a little funny. Guess I should've washed the shower curtain and baby bath (cloth sling) a little sooner too! I never thought about cleaning the bath- it's only soap and water. But, boy does it smell better now.
I confess I can't stand pumping (but do it anyway). I use it as an excuse to take a break from work. Probably one of the reasons I'm still doing so well! Haha!
I also will confess I wear underwire bras even though I'm still nursing. My boobs just don't look the same in those nursing bras. While they are very comfy and I'll wear them around the house, I just can't wear them to work anymore.0 -
LOL!!!! Since Jaxon, I'm not a night owl anymore. In fact, I'm complete opposite! I like to go to bed about an hour after I put baby down and if that doesn't happen for some reason or another I get my panties in a wad

Same here! I have friends that want to go out for dinner at 7pm, and I'm like "that's great, but I'm going to leave early to put my baby to bed at 8:30." And MY bedtime comes shortly after that!
For me, there's no point in staying up late when the baby is going to wake up early. Also, dinner at 5 or 6pm is the norm now!0 -
Ha! These are great, and I definately relate. Bathroom cleaning is definately not as much of a priority as it used to be (and needs to be!). Bed time and mealtime also are early enough to designate me as a 90 year old... If we venture to go out to dinner, we're leaving by 5ish to beat the rush and avoid a wait which is no longer possible w/ 2 small children!0

I agree! We had some friends invite us over the other night at almost 8 o'clock but 8 is when we start getting Jaxon ready for bed so we passed lol dinner for me is 5-6 as well 0 -

Same here! I found an underwire nursing bra that I wear when I go out, even though I never nurse in public (she's just too nosy and wants to look around and I'm left flashing everybody). The comfy ones are my "at home" bras.
My night owl days are also long gone. Staying up "late" is now 10:30, even on weekends.
Go out for dinner? That hasn't happened since we had our baby. Lunch/brunch is more our thing now.
I'm good at keeping up on laundry, dishes, general tidying/organizing, cooking, but vacuuming and scrubbing bathrooms? Nope. ETA: DH gets the dirty jobs, and he still does my cat's litter, even though the doc said I don't need to avoid it any more.
Pretty sure parenthood has turned me into a born again virgin. :blushing: I mean, it happens, but not often. I'd rather sleep, and even though I know it's fine, I still get nervous and worry it will hurt (I had a bad tear).0 -
for me it is my laundry. I use to be a neat freak, today I wash on sundays and the clothes stays in a clean bin until I have time to put it away, ( this week it is still there). I have a 4 and 3 year old and an alomst 9 month baby girl.0

I have zero sex drive and it has been painful the two times we've tried in the past 7 MONTHS...serious dry spell :laugh:

Right there with you, ladies! I think breastfeeding, which my ob says is like a mini-menapause, is partially to blame. Oh well. I'm not stopping any time soon. In the meantime, I will give you some advice a friend of mine gave me--use KY Jelly--lots and lots of KY Jelly. Sorry if that's TMI, but it seriously does help. Oh, and if you order it on Amazon, really fun things will happen in your "Suggested for you" section. For example, I am now being recommended pacifiers and baby playmats next to sex toys. Ah, marketing.0 -

Oh man, I'm so glad I'm not the only one! Yes, we've found lube certainly helps, and sometimes a little liquid courage, too. :drinker: :laugh: It's not that the desire has disappeared, it's mainly a lack of energy at the end of the day.0 -

I'm in the same boat. Since I work too, I'm super tired and that's the last thing I want, honestly. Plus I don't feel attractive at all.0 -

LOL at the virgin comment! With both pregnancies, we did not have sex at all. Once I am pregnant, I am SO not into sex. With our older son, we didn't have sex or do anything remotely sexy until about four months postpartum. My poor husband! This time I'm all of 8 days postpartum, so obviously I'm not cleared for anything, nor do I have the energy, but given that I feel like a beached whale, I suspect that I will want to wait a bit before sexy times. It doesn't help that I had a second-degree tear this time (last time was just a first-degree with one tiny stitch) plus an *upwards* tear.
In a weird way, I envy those people who are counting down the days to their 6-week clearance, but I'm just not one of them! I just need to be more comfortable in my skin (and then I'm unstoppable)!0
