My Body After Pregnancy

by Reina
(west covina ca)

After having my son I was so sore and it lasted about three weeks. I had trouble walking around if I didn't take my painkillers and I started independent studies a week after giving birth until I could go back to regular high school.

I didn't get the epidural and I had an episiotomy. I also had to get a blood transfusion and a dnc right after giving birth...

After a week I went to the doctors and I weighed only one pound more than i did before I got pregnant! It was after that I gained weight... even though I was breastfeeding :/..

It's going to be a year in two weeks since I had my son! My nipples during and after breastfeeding were very dark and I am happy to say that they are finally lightening up ... as well as my stretch marks for my not so firm anymore breasts and am doing some pectoral excersises and it has helped some....

Sex after pregnancy - I was so scared of after three months I tried it and it felt like the first time all over again! It hurt a lot!

The second time it was better and so on and so on about four months after sex was great... so after a year i can say that my body has almost completely gone back to normal besides a few faded stretch marks and not so perky breasts but I wouldn't trade it for the world.

I learned to be proud of my body because it made me my son ...
