not hungry

Sorry I keep posting here. I'm not even pregnant anymore :/ but is it normal to not have an appetite after baby? I seriously don't feel like eating at all. Not cause I feel sick I'm just not hungry...

Maybe you should let you're ob know you're still in that much pain.. I had a csection and it was very painful the first two days but after a week I was fine.. my sister also wasnt in much pain after the first few days and everyone else I know.. seems like you're in a lot of pain and its been almost a week? I'd def call... everyone is different but bit doesn't hurt to check.

Hun it's not just you remember that your hormones are doing leaps and bounds trying to get back down to where they are supposed to be, the trauma of a c section and the first days of real deal not in the hospital you doing it all mother hood it's enough to make anyone crazy

I haven't been through a c section but I do know its got to be hard, I did everything naturally and was up walking within an hour of having my kids and being very active so I would say it is a downer to not be able to do all you want

I've been like crying all day it ***** so bad. I didn't think every single thing would change but it has. I never thought about it when I was pregnant. But I think even if I did I couldn't have prepared myself

I don't think it'd be as hard if I hadn't had a c section :(

Hun it's totally normal to feel this way about everything. Giving birth and the first few weeks are traumatic I don't mean that in a bad way it's just with all the changes in your body and home like and everything sometimes you just feel like you can't breathe. And a for the weight you have to remember you're very swollen and once that and some of the water weight goes down you'll feel so much better promis

I've taken anti depressants in the past and they made me feel worse. I felt messed up all the time and eventually just quit taking them.

It's crazy cause my stomach is like gone. Well besides it still being a little swollen. I just had her 5 days ago I wasn't figuring the weight would fall off overnight lol I mean I gained 53 pounds. That couldn't have been all pregnancy related. I over indulged

thats ok too! not everyone loses weight so fast i know for me it took 3 weeks for me to see a difference in my weight it seems to me you may be going through ppd (post pardum depression) maybe you should talk to your doctor because ppd is very common... if you ever want to talk send me a message! :-)

i went through that after both of my past c sections as a mom you get caught up with the baby and that becomes your main priprity you naturally push yourself hunger and all aside...  just make sure you eat a little something even if your not hungry
