How are you feeling about your postpartum body?

Please share how you’re feeling or your past experience(s) so maybe we can all feel less alone during this big change and recovery.

I don’t feel great about my body. I’m 7 weeks pp and I just feel soft. Like idk how else to describe it really, but I feel soft, squishy, and deflated pretty much all over. It’s not just my belly (where the most change happened), but my butt, thighs, and everything. I’ve always been on thinner side so I’m sure some of this has to do with still having so extra weight I’m not used to, but I’ve been carried 10lbs or so extra weight in the past and it didn’t feel anything like this.

I’m hoping this is just part of the recovery and my body will start feeling more like my normal again soon. Anyone else feeling this way or similarly disconnected and unhappy with their postpartum body?

I know anyone who grew a human just did something amazing with their body and blah blah blah it takes time to recover, but that doesn’t keep me from feeling crappy and self conscious about my body right now.
