We made the trimesters pass quickly!

I'm good thank you. Jayden has passed his cold on to me and I've lost my voice, not good when you're trying to tell a toddler off

The waist shaper website says this:Compression and body shaping will gently persuade your tummy muscles back together resulting in muscle memory and reduction of stretch marks
Our shapers compress the stomach, hips and waist, which have all expanded during pregnancy. One reason this works is because of a hormone called relaxin.
Custom compression helps flush excess fluid through the body’s system, it will also help reduce swelling known as edema by compressing small blood vessels and capillaries and minimise bruising
Last but not least, they will make you feel amazing in and out of clothing!

Why use body shapers to regain your pre-pregnancy body?

During pregnancy, hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and relaxin - which help to loosen the abdominal muscles and the pelvic structure, while supporting joints and ligaments to prepare for childbirth - remain in the body after childbirth for approximately six months.

Compression garments work by drawing in stretched muscles, providing a support structure around the torso, while reducing strain on ligaments and joints in the lower back, pelvis, and buttocks. Some are configured to squeeze certain areas, and leave others to jiggle.

Reducing stress in these areas enhances your body’s ability to return to its pre-pregnancy alignment, shape and lose the post baby tummy.

Peoples photos look really good.

Good morning ladies! :wave:
That tummy shaper sounds awesome Beckii!

Too bad I'm too fat to make a difference with one of those . I decided I am going to try and eat healthier. Sticking with salads, chicken, meats, and as many veggies / fruit that I can stomach. OH is going to do this took. We are going to cut out most of the junk we eat. I will still eat burgers though since their not too bad if you make them at home. I really want to lose this 40lb+ that I gained and get back to my pre-pregnancy weight (even further if I can). I get so depressed about it somethings that I cry. Once it gets warmer outside I will go on walks with Riya in her stroller too.

Suzy your not fat don't be so awful on yourself hun I bet you look fab you've not long had a baby x

Thanks Amy .

OH says the same thing but I have really low self-esteem that I don't think anyone will ever change my mind. I just have to get to the body I will be happy with. It's just so hard!

 

[Mummy to be x]

I know what you mean hun you just have to do what makes you feel good. x

 

[Kiwiberry]

Thanks Amy, hopefully my new eating habits won't depress me too much lol.

Beckii im so tempted to try one but there quite expensive aren't they? Jon said I should try the body wraps that people do. My tummy is my only "problem area" the skin is just so loose, it has been since I had katie. I do need to start eating healthier though... I eat junk all the time!

Beckii that's great that aimee-jo slept so well! Lucy would have gone back in her bed I think but we both fell asleep lol.

Does anyone else's lo like to comfort suck? Sometimes Lucy will cry and search for my boobs but when I try feed she screams when milk comes out! I figured she's sucking for comfort because if I let her suck while we're lying down she just let's the milk dribble out of her mouth :-/ xx

 

[Kiwiberry]

Riya loves comfort sucking. Just last night before we went out she was being really fussy and I had just fed her about 30 minutes ago. I let her latch for a few minutes, she barely got any milk out and then fell right to sleep. It's to the point now that I can tell when she is comfort sucking or sucking for food. If its for food she gets really vigorous about it and if its comfort sucking she "nibbles", closes her eyes, and makes cute noises.

That sounds good Beckii.
I attempted to do sit ups the other night and managed 1!! I am getting myself depressed about my flabby belly.

Frazer comfort sucks too xx

 

[UniqueBeauty]

It's 59.99 Carly but I think it's worth it. I've done the wraps in the past but they didn't work

Don't get yourself down Suzy, you're not fat. I'm not slim and the shaper will work. I've seen photos of really and I mean really large women wearing them and it sucking everything in. Ijust want rid of this flabby belly so much x

 

[Swtpinkbabi]

Sorry your sick now UB, I hope you get better soon. Hope Lucy is feeling better soon also Carly.
Anyone hear how Rohan is doing lately?

 

[Mummy to be x]

Rohan is doing ok, tara posts lots of adorable photos of him on facebook etc, he is just scrummy!

 

[Kiwiberry]

[Mummy to be x]

[Kiwiberry]

[Carlyp1990]

I'm so tired. The interrupted sleep is catching up with me. I left Hubby in bed yesterday thinking I could lay in today plus Elijah had done a 5 hour stretch so I didn't feel too bad. Today's lie in hasn't happened. Hubbys boys have football so he has to take them at 9.10. I could have had until 9 but Tristan had to come into our room when he woke and watch TV because the boys were asleep in the living room. They got up at 8. Tristan is being a terror, he smacked one of the boys so all I could hear was him throwing a paddy on the naughty step. He then runs upstairs and bangs on the door crying for Mummy. I am that tired I am so close to tears. We went to bed at 10.30, Elijah woke at 1, 3.30 and 6 but we are up 30-60 minutes at a time. I just can't seem to catch up!

 

[brunettebimbo]

One of the football games has been cancelled so he came home to ask if I would look after one of them. I said no. He's the one that doesn't listen to me, the one that winds Tristan up. Hubby stomped out. Said it's too cold for him to stand at the side of a pitch. It was ok for him to play football in the cold though!

I've come down and there is pillows and sleeping bags in the middle of the floor and bags everywhere. I am so pissed off but probably because I'm tired and grumpy.

We are going to his Mums for tea this afternoon, I've told him Elijah and I are staying here. I need to sleep. He said his Mum will want to see him but it's tough. I Am fighting back the tears because I'm frustrated with Tristans behaviour and at a total loss as to how to make it better, I'm ridiculously tired and I can't cope with the mess!

 

[brunettebimbo]

My husband hasn't even done anything wrong. He offered to cancel football so I could sleep but I told him it wasn't fair on the kids. I'm just taking it out on him

 

[ab75]

bb,it'll be better after a sleep.

Wow!! Go Archie!! I thought I had a good night as Frazer slept from 5-9, 10- 3 then 430-745. Poo'd out his nappy and all over his pj's at half 3 and was full of smiles lol, wee monkey.

Happy birthday Carly xxx
