Body image postpartum - feeling like a stranger
Don't fit my old clothes. Hate the new ones. Hair falling out. Doesn't help that Instagram is full of women in pre-baby jeans at 6 weeks. Anyone else?

6 weeks pp is a Instagram fiction. 18 months pp my body finally felt mine again. Patience.

Buy clothes that fit NOW. Wearing tight uncomfortable old clothes ruins your day.

Postnatal exercise gradually (Mutu System, Lottie Murphy) - changed how I felt about my body without it being about weight.

Body acceptance is a process. Mine grew a person. That's wild.

Same hair loss. Stops around 9 months. Pixie cut helped my mental health.
