![]() She immediately apologised, obviously realising what a dick move that was. My partner (36m) says something like "I think we've all had plenty" and MIL says "you're not eating for 2 any more!". ![]() There was a skewer left so I asked if anyone wanted to share it. My MIL is here visiting, we've always gotten on very well. I don't feel great about myself, but was taking things easy and being kind to myself. I'm now a UK 16/18 on my bottom half, so I'm chunky, but not into forklift territory yet. I suffered from morning sickness and lethargy for most of my pregnancy and so have gained weight / lost fitness.

Women who are breastfeeding need an extra 500 calories a day to make top quality milk, and sometimes you lose weight from it, and sometimes you don’t lose weight until you stop (this was me). Get down there and eat a couple of biscuits in front of them and dare them to say something about it !Īnd talk to your Ob / Home Care Nurse /Midwife about this as well. Get downstairs and mope about and make them feel ashamed for treating you so badly ! Get on top of this now - don’t set yourself up for a future where you feel weird about eating in front of them. Having said all that, don’t hide in your room. Let alone one who has had a difficult pregnancy or traumatic birth. Let them make this up to you.Īnd a minor rant on the side - I hate the way our society expects a woman to “snap back” to her pre-pregnancy weight within a couple of months of giving birth. They were the ones who were horribly rude and unsupportive, and you deserve better. Its their job to fix this situation, not yours. Of course you’re feeling a bit fragile - anyone would be in the same circumstances. They tried to fat shame a 3 month post-partum woman who had a difficult pregnancy and birth. You don’t need to be ashamed about feeling upset, you have every right to be. If they feel bad or embarrassed because you’re crying a lot, then they damn-well should. MOM HID MY GAME 2 DAY 23 FULLYou are full of hormones sloshing about and your husband and MIL were bloody rude to you. ![]() I had far, far stronger food cravings when I was breastfeeding than when I was pregnant - and like you I had bad morning sickness with my first two, so I was also trying to make up nutrition from that. It is ok for you to eat in response to your body’s hunger signals. ![]() Breastfeeding takes as many calories as running a marathon every day, on top of healing from major surgery. Your body will need a lot of energy while healing from a caeser, and also a lot of energy if you’re breastfeeding. Even though I’m a grown adult and don’t need to hide anything from him.īirth and motherhood are all great BUT you still went through major surgery and something that everyone reacts to differently - it’s a lot of hormone changes and responsibility thrust to you - and there’s a reason we’re learning more about “baby blues” and PPD. I’m Hispanics and we’re notorious for overloading your plate and calling you too skinny but too fat all at the same time, it can be extremely confusing and for me personally it triggered an ED when I was younger where I wouldn’t eat in front of people but then only eat super bad food by myself/hidden - I’ve mostly gotten over it now with therapy but I still catch myself not telling my husband about the little “cheat meals” I sometimes have. And if you’re not you need the right energy to take care of your little one. ![]() And you need to eat in a healthy way - you might not be eating for two but if your pumping/breast feeding you need nourishment without judgement. There seems to be something deeper you might need to talk through. ![]()
