feel so inadequate

My hb has been telling methat i need to start working out since i had the baby. But i don't really have the energy since I'm the one taking care of our son and house. Last night we wore in the living room i was feeding our son then he asked if i would ever get my viag pierced. He was watching porn. I didn't say anything just gave him dirty looks.  I got on my phone on fb to distract myself, he then sat next to me and apologizd for being weird. I scrolled past some pics on his moms fb of her and his ex and his daughter at the beach. Its so agitating that his mom hangs out with his ex and invites her to visit them. He saw the pics of his daughter and wanted to see. Im upset that the pics of his ex were right there with her in bathing suit weighing only like 100lb. I just feel like utter scrap about it . I haven't been that small since 6th grade.  I feel so  inadequate, all i want to do is sleep and wake up skinny but I'm still feeding the baby

But I understand completely where ur coming from....all my bfs exs are blonde 100 pounds and none of them have children. I have a kid dark hair and are nothing like them:) but I think of it this way im better:) bc he left all of them for a reason! :) don't be so hard on yourself and if he doesn't love u the way ubare kick em to the curb!

I'm so sorry u shouldn't have to deal with that sounds like your a good momma! Can u take walks with baby? Try too Nap every single time ur baby naps. Drink water and a cup of orange juice a day only snack on healthy things NO sweets. If ur craving salt try a cracker no chips. I cut out all sweets all together the last week omg it was hard but I'm 21 weeks pregnant and dropped 3 pounds? Just from not eating sweets and drinking I've water. Do 30 squats a day! Promise u that u will see a difference in your legs!

You shouldn't have to deal with that. You gave birth to his son. Take time to heal, rest and enjoy your son. When the time and energy is right then you can start out with small walks with baby. Agree cutting out the unnecessary foods IF you're eating any and then maybe small workouts around the house in a few months.

Good luck.
Remember, you're beautiful mommy.

He's an idiot.. Don't u stress it one bit.. Men can be very ignorant and less understanding when they need to be.. you have ur bundle of joy to worry about not no vag piercing.. He's suppose to be lifting ur spirit not downing u or trying to make u feel less beautiful.. I'm happy my fiancé is supportive and loving I'd probably punch him in the face if he tried to hurt my feelings lol.. being a mom is a blessing.. don't miss out on yours bc of him.. stay positive and stress free :)

Your not supposed to excercise until 6-8 weeks anyways. He should not be acting like that at all. Beleive me I would have given him more than evil looks! Just keep your head up. I havent been under 140 as sense I turned 18 as well and after a baby its a very sensitive time. He should be much more sensitive and appreciate that your body gave him his son. I can kind of understand his mom hanging out with his ex if she has a child with him though. Try to not let it upset you if me and my husband split up I'm sure me and my mother in law would get together here and there.

I wouldn't mind them hanging out so much but a year ago his mom and him got in a petty argument and his mom and his ex both started texting me that he had cheated on me with her in our bed. They didn't but it still gets to me, especially when she texts him to beat up her bf bc he hurt her feelings. And the way she's acting since I've been pregnant is like shes jealous and thinks she still has a place with him but his mom doesn't seem to help that. I think he was trying to be funny he's just not sometime s, and his timing was just terrible. I've tried walking its just so hot i can't walk after 10a, even at night, and Kallan seems to wake up around 5-7everyday and stays up til 11ish feeding. I eat something for breakfast either miniwheats or yogurt and whatever he cooks for dinner. I know i need to eat and that's the only reason i eat that much.

You're beautiful and don't ever think otherwise! You're body's just been through one of the most amazing and miraculous experience it will eve  have to go through and you need time to heal from this, he should be more understanding. Our bodies tend to be a little more to the wobbly side after having a baby but you can always get your pre pregnancy body back when the time is right and right now isn't the time to be going to the gym and working out, you have your little one to deal with. There are little things you can do like drinking lots of water, going for little walks, cutting out junk food and soda and even getting all the housework done will burn some calories! I wouldn't start stressing about it, your still amazing sweetie! After your body has fully healed that's the time to start getting some exercises done if you feel ready to but until then don't do anything too strenuous as it can affect the healing process x

Yu and baby can go walking at the park and men can say silly things but remember men are upfront and say the things they want we hve to keep our men happy and satisfied! And dont worry about his ex ur his wife ex's doesnt matter u jus keep ur family happy
