Anybody want to share postpartum pictures? I've lost about 17 pounds so far in the first 2 weeks so I'm pleased with my progress so far. I've now stopped breastfeeding so will probably have to start watching what I'm eating again. I'll go first. Here's my pic:

that's me after baby #1.
I'm happy overall, but I'd like to get more abdominal definition before I get pregnant with #2.0 -
Thank you! I was really nervous of what I would look like PP for the 2nd time around but so far am happy even though I have a long way to get to where I really want to be.0

Amazing change is such a short space of time! I know it's a personal decision, but why stop breastfeeding after only two weeks, if you don't mind sharing?0

Girl, we had a terrible time with breastfeeding! At first my milk took forever to come in. She lost almost a pound in 3 days. So I was told to start supplementing. I had to use a nipple shield from the beginning bc they said I had sort of flat nipples. Once I started supplementing, she basically gave up on trying to suck at the breast and would just sit there and scream and act like she wasn't getting anything. The whole thing of her losing the weight at first really freaked me out too so after all that I was just having to pump and give her that along with formula bc I didn't have enough milk. I was told to put her to the breast, then give her a bottle with formula and also pump every 3 hours. All that was extremely overwhelming for me and I planned to stop breastfeeding at 3 months anyway once I went back to work bc I don't have time to pump at work. So I decided I wasn't able to enjoy any of my time off work or spending time with her bc all I had time for was trying to feed her and pumping so I decided to give it up. Long story but that about sums it up. I wish breastfeeding had been easy for me like it is for some people but unfortunately it just was too much.0 -
Thanks everybody!0

I am 9 months PP almost 10 and I still look like your 1 week pic I have lost weight but it doesn't want to leave my belly area. So frustrating. I know what you mean about breastfeeding I tried it ( this one is my #2) and it was a bust I didn't develop enough milk. I would produce about 2 oz every 12 hours if I was lucky and it became not worth the stress so I gave it up too so I could just enjoy my maternity leave.0

You look amazing! Seriously, you look fab! How big was your baby? I swear my five month belly shot is as big as your were at full term!!! LOL!
I need to take some pics and post them but I hate my body right now!0 -

It's good to know others can relate. It makes you feel like you've failed but I try to tell myself it's fine. At least I tried.0 -

Ladies with pics - you look amazing! I don't have pics to post like that, although I lost a lot after baby no. 2.
I'm currently 18 weeks pregnant with baby no. 3 and hoping to minimise weight gain so I look as amazing as you two who have posted pics. My profile pic was taken just before I got pregnant. Well, I probably was pregnant at that point but didn't know it!
I had trouble breastfeeding. My son was born 10 days late weighing 7lbs13 and 6 days after had dropped to 6lbs7 so my midwife told me to give formula. I spent 10 weeks bfing him, then giving him formula, then pumping. It was very stressful. A similar thing happened with my daughter. She just wouldn't stop feeding, I literally couldn't leave her for 5 mins as she would scream for more milk. I know breastfeeding can be hard, but you shouldn't have to feed 24/7 for weeks on end! So I'm sorry, but low supply does exist! I'm hoping with my third i'll produce more.0 -
Wow. All you ladies look amazing. I am 7 months pp and can't wait for my spare tire to go away.0
