life once baby born?

Im so beyond excited yet overwhelmed about baby being born. I wonder if its selfish to wonder if ill ever put on a sexy dress and go out again? i never went out too much but when i dd i looked hot. will i ever do that again? I wonder if sex will happen. the last two months i have NOT enjoyed it as i get further along in my pregnancy. i wonder if ill get MY body back..because obviously right now it is not my own. all i do is wear my hair up 24/7 and look terrible. i just wonder and worry...and if this is normal

After I had him I didn't care how I look cuz I was also I giant ballon after my c section too nd cudnt fit any clothes nd was uncomfortable. I think also becuz ull end up getting something on ur cute clothes so sweats lose pants nd shirts are my best friends. Lols and ur body idk bout that one I feel like my body is nvr going to be the same. But its all depends on diff bodies diff ppl. :)

Yes you will go out and wear that sexy dress. I have 3 kids... 4, 22 months, and 4 weeks. I do my hair and make up and try to dress nice. I have a lot of weight to loose from my second pregnancy still, but I know I can do it. I lost the weight with my first, and felt sexy so I know I can do it again!

I can tell you for me I never went completely back to normal. I now have 3 kids ages 8, 5, and 10months. I really only ever get "dressed" if I'm going to the store or something. I hardly ever wear make up anymore. Oh and my hair it's always up as well cuz I find it gets in the way. I say it's just part of motherhood because we have so much more to worry about!

Oh and sex. I'm waiting to heal up awhile I feel bad for hubby though its been awhile now. And I am afraid it will be painful or uncomfortable for awhile.. especially since I can't use the I'm not fat I'm pregnant saying anymore lol

Not to worry. It's normal. Before i was preggo i would always dress nicely and look presentable where ever i would go. Now i just don't care because im so uncomfortable (36+4). I pull my hair up in a pony or a braid and call it a day. Lol.

I just had my baby 10 days ago. But before I had him I thought the same.. and felt similar. When I was prego especially towards the end it was sweats and big t-shirts hair up my skin was broken out. I felt like I wanted to do stuff but when I was out doing things I just wanted to go home to relax. Lol now that I have him here I've done my hair and make up once. I feel better as far as my body and skin go ( I swelled so bad after my csection and its finally gone) so that's nice but I worry too much about leaving him to go out without him. And if I'm not going out than I don't need to dress up lol. I do hope my body goes back to normal or close.. I can tell I've lost a bunch with breast feeding and all that but my tummy.. I do at least want to try and get my body back. But most things become second to your baby.
