It has been nearly three weeks now that I’ve had my baby and it has been a whirlwind of emotions. While I am so blissfully in love with her and with being a mom, I have found myself pulling towards the opposite end of the spectrum. I know baby blues are very common, and I think my struggle with Breastfeeding has a lot to do with my feelings of inadequacy and anxiousness. After you have your baby, you just have such a rush of hormones where you find yourself feeling a certain way and have no control over it.
Dress c/o Shop Pink Blush (all opinions are my own, I picked out this adorable dress to review & obviously rock it in my wardrobe!)
Accepting your Postpartum body is a huge wave of emotions all tied into one look in the mirror. You are already a jumble of emotions and to mix in sleep deprivation, caring for a new baby, and then having to accept your new body; it can be overwhelming. I look down with pride at my stretch marks and think of the long hard journey it was for these markings to become part of my appearance. I prayed so hard for this baby and I would take any aftermath with humble gratitude. I know stretch marks tend to tear away at mothers’ confidence thinking they look less beautiful and are now imperfect because of these markings. I know it’s easier said than done to look at your stomach or thighs and think “oh man this is beautiful”, but they are. Your body made room for a baby and stretched itself to its limits to accommodate them. How magnificent is it that our bodies can work in such a way that creates a life?
You may not lose all of the weight as quickly as you seemed to gain it, but that’s okay. Your health and sanity greatly outweigh those few extra pounds that helped support your baby’s journey on this earth.
I know I personally am having a time accepting my new body, I have always been small and it was a bit hard for me going through the pregnancy and seeing the numbers go up. Not because I expected to be one hundred pounds and still somehow grow a baby, but it was just hard psychologically to experience that change and accept it.

Not because I expected to be one hundred pounds and still somehow grow a baby, but it was just hard psychologically to experience that change and accept it.
For me, I have been cautious of the psychological damage putting on my pre pregnancy clothes could do. I have been wearing a lot of my maternity clothes, but also relying a lot on more loose fitting clothes that I can be comfortable in. I know this may seem so simple, but avoiding your smaller clothes can make a world of a difference and it’s one less thing for me to stress about and let’s me focus my energy on my baby! I feel happier because not only am I getting dressed in the morning but I can focus more on being happy and accepting my new body.Â
As a new mom, I cherish the times that we are getting out of the house and I switch out of my nursing robes (I alternate between my two from Shop Pink Blush, they are so comfy!) and put on real clothes for the day ha ha! Â I love the fall time and it works perfectly that this is the season of layers and more loose fit clothing! Use the colder months to your advantage mamas!
​ I adore this dress from Shop Pink Blush and know I’ll be styling it a lot during this fall season. This outfit was super comfy throughout our entire day. I pumped before we left and when we got back to his sister’s house​, so I know it’s not the most nursing friendly look. I will have outfits soon that are though, so be on the look out! This dress is great for any woman honestly, I feel like it’s so flattering and loose in the right places. I can’t wait to dress it up and down this season, I have so many different ideas.
How would you style it?
Looking down at this little girl and having her snuggle up in my arms, makes the stretch marks and extra weight fade away. I made this and my body somehow carried an almost 9 pound baby which I think is a miracle in itself. You had a baby mama, don’t feel in such a rush to go back to your pre baby body, your life is different now and that’s a high expectation to put on yourself. You have a new life now, so look at all your stretchmarks, extra weight, and scars with pride that they all had a hand in making you a mom.

Howdy are using WordPress for your site platform? I’m new to the blog
world but I’m trying to get started and set up my own. Do
you need any html coding knowledge to make your own blog?
Any help would be really appreciated!
You made some decent points there. I looked on the internet to

I am in fact happy to glance at this weblog posts which includes
lots of helpful facts, thanks for providing these kinds
of data.
I’m not sure exactly why but this web site is loading extremely slow for me.
Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my end?
I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.
I believe everything published made a great deal of sense.
But, think about this, suppose you were to create a killer post title?
I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your website, but what if you added
something to possibly grab people’s attention? I mean Accepting Your Postpartum Body – The Mama Honey is kinda boring.
You ought to glance at Yahoo’s home page and see how they
create article headlines to get viewers to open the
links. You might add a related video or a related pic or two to get readers
interested about everything’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it would bring your posts a little
livelier.
My relatives every time say that I am killing my time here at net, but
I know I am getting knowledge daily by reading thes
nice articles.
I do consider all of the ideas you have offered on your post.
They’re really convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are too brief
for starters. May just you please lengthen them a little from next
time? Thanks for the post.
I am curious to find out what blog platform you are utilizing?
I’m experiencing some small security issues with
my latest website and I would like to find something more safe.
Do you have any suggestions? asmr 0mniartist
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the
video to make your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why
throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could
be giving us something informative to read? asmr

Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad
and tested to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she can be
a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she
has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

Hello there! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems
with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform.
I would be fantastic if you could point me
in the direction of a good platform.
When someone writes an piece of writing he/she keeps the idea of a user in his/her
mind that how a user can be aware of it. Thus that’s why this article is amazing.
Thanks!

Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Chrome.
I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something
to do with web browser compatibility but I
thought I’d post to let you know. The layout look great though!
Hope you get the problem solved soon. Many thanks
It’s very trouble-free to find out any matter on net as
compared to books, as I found this paragraph at this
web site.
Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found
a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She
put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched
her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
Great post! Your baby girl is soo cute too. Love your blog! 🙂
