Wish there was a +35 post pregnancy forum

Its been 6 months...And I feel like my body has changed dramatically after I stopped nursing I get  dizzy spells now, My hormones are whacy, i have a lack of sex drive while my hubbies skyrocketed! I lost  all my weight but I have muffin top with that ugly linea nigra, ugh maybe that's why they say to have babies before you turn 35!

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
