2 weeks postpartum   ♥

Being a mother is such a rewarding feeling.

So it has been 2 weeks and 4 days since I gave birth to my beautiful son.

to be honest I did not know what I was expecting my body to look like after my labour. Silly me assumed I would...’snapback’ *rolls eyes*. As you can see, I am far from it. I am not as blessed as my friend who snapped back from both pregnancies.

I cannot do exercise till six weeks time all though my midwife reckons I will not be able to as during my labour I got 3rd degree tearing when pushing Nour out. I am still in discomfort pain and healing is definitely a process. We haven’t left the house since Nour was born as I just want to rest with my baby. Dealing with a stitched up Vagina and a newborn at the same time I just don’t have the motivation to even use my pram for the first time. 

My stomach is very loose and saggy but still looking a few months preggo. Midwife says my uterus has not gone down yet so I could have a smaller stomach in 2 weeks time. But we’ll see.

Still looking quite chubby and rounded in the face, although I have been slowly getting used to my weight gain since i hit 5/6 months pregnant. But once baby arrives, worrying about your appearance is the last thing on your mind.

Hopefully my next post will be of the little one. I really want to show him off more. 

His hair is beginning to curl! did’nt inherit daddy’s straight hair afterall :’0
