two things to complain about
1) I got my motherfvcking period. seriously? Ellie isn't even four months old, and I'm EBF. What happened to that perk?? This happened to me with Owen, too. Not fair.
2) I hate shopping for clothes these days. I miss my boobs, my twenty-something body, and my f-it attitude about credit card debt. Shopping is now depressing.
Re: two things to complain about
I got mine at 5 weeks post-partum, not cool! With severe endometriosis, I could have used not getting that
I totally hear you on missing the f-it attitude
I had to force myself to hit the submit button today on an online order! Sadly, was for DD, not me!
I hate my mothahlovin period. I got mine at about 3 or 4 months and was like...what the hell is this? And it came back with a vengeance.
I'm wearing a V neck dress today...I got in the car and looked down...and had to go inside and put a camisole under it. I miss my teenytiny boobies.
I wouldn't care what size my boobs were if only they were still in their original location.
All I really want is all the parts of my body to be the same size at the same time. I am so tired of pants that fit the butt but gap 2" at the waist, or dresses that fit the hips but have several extra inches of gappage in the bust.
I have a dresser stuffed with clothing and maybe 1/3 of it fits properly. I have 5 pairs of shorts and none of them fit well; 2 are too tight and 3 are too loose. I've been trying to find some new ones but nothing fits right and I hate hate hate clothes shopping for myself.
(I also got my pp period at 6 weeks. The Mirena made it all go away. I love it!)
I have this problem too and I decided to start having the waist taken in. Although, I do find shopping depressing because I don't have much of a shopping budget anymore. I wanted to buy some sunglasses the other day and came home empty handed because everything I liked was $100+
I got AF at 11 weeks pp, but then I didn't see her again until last week.
And, I would like to complain about the fact that I have mastitis. I've had a fever between 101 & 103 all day, despite lots of advil. I feel like absolute crap!
I could do that, but I think it would be silly to pay to get a $20 pair of pants altered.
If I had nicer clothes, that would be an option.
I've actually had some luck as of late with L.L.Bean's curvy cut pants. They have a much smaller waist compared to the backside and they fit me pretty well.
I know what you mean. I think I paid $15 to have the waist taken in on $30 shorts.
1) That totally stinks. All that EBF work, you have earned a break from AF. I don't get how my AF hasn't come back...and I'm only nursing what I make, which is a few ounces a day total.
2) I totally identify with this. I tried on 11 styles of shirts at the gap in different sizes. I wanted to cry. I found one that fit okay, and bought 4 shirts. I look boring wearing essentially the same style everyday. I won't be winning any fashionista awards, that's for sure.
#1 totally BLOWS!!!!!! Wtf. I'm pissed for you - that's ridiculous.
#2 blows as well
). I feel the exact same way. The weight loss is way harder for me this time around, and my stomach is in need of a tummy tuck. And now that I know what post-bfing boobs look like, I'm totally dreading that. Blech.

So not cool about your period! Jeeze uterus. Give the woman a break!
Totally hear you on shopping although my body isn't PP I'm just oddly proportioned and broke. And fluffy around the middle
And my boobs are down to my knees, so summer shirts are ... uh ... not fun.
Okay, you have a much bigger reason to complain. Ahhhhhhh I hope that clears up soon!!! I hear it's really painful.
This is my exact problem, which is why I'm still wearing jeans and cardigans to work - that's all I have that fits. Boo.
#1 - BLEHHHH. I'm waiting for the return of mine, I will probably just get done bleeding from birth and she'll be there to greet me, that's what happened last time despite EBF. Effer.
#2 - I hear you! I was told a couple days ago that "That is the biggest boob I have ever seen!" The odd thing is I feel like I look a hell of a lot better than I actually do. I know I'm only 3 weeks post partum, but I feel pretty good and then I walk past a mirror and go, oh, that's not what I thought I looked like.
#3 - I hate $. Being home alone with 2 kids makes me want to drag the kids to target and shop. Buy pointless stupid stuff, but just walk around and buy things to feel good, haha.
