My body changed completely and totally since giving birth as well. But kinda weird stuff such as food that no longer is appealing. I used to love a glass of red wine, now it's instant headache. Your right, it is very worth it, but those hormones can sure take a long time to get back to normal (its been almost 21 months for me).
And please feel free to use this forum as a post partum forum as well. It's dedicated to all things pregnancy related.
thats what I try to remember :) the amazing transformation our bodies have gone thru to give us our little monsters, your linea nigra should slowly dissapear I still have one after 5 months but it will go, your muffin top, well lots of girls/women have those and they dont have a baby to show, if your eating properly this should also go away with abit of time, your lack of sex drive is pretty normal with bub/young kids in tow as it is very tiring to begin with, give yourself abit of time, your husband obviously loves your "new"body :) and your dizzy spells could be due to blood pressure problems, so maybe a visit to your doctor would be wise , :)
I agree having one after 35 is definitely harder! I don't have near the energy I had 7 years ago and it took longer to get back into shape but im still not the right shape(things are in weird places lol)my baby girl is worth it but man I feel old!!!! Lol
Forgot to mention my son is so worth all these battle wounds!
