Charlene: I HATE SWIMSUITS! Cathy: I understand! We're all in this together! By sharing your pain, you've helped me remember I'm not alone, either! Charlene: Thanks! I just thought I'd be in better shape than this a whole month after giving birth! Cathy: I hate support groups.

LOL!! I find this especially funny because a month postpartum I look about 10 months pregnant still but both my sister-in-laws are back in their size 2’s. Grrrrr.

Poor Cathy.. sometimes its not such a good idea to be empathetic.

@mcveinot I also kept my “baby fat” for several months (?years??) after giving birth, and although I breast fed, no formula or foods for the first 9 months, the weight still didn’t come off. My cousin lost too much nursing her oldest and had to add in supplements. Go figure…

enough of this swimwear sh–. Some where there is lack of imagination :-((( on Ms. G’s part

Me too. There are several support groups that I think about joining, but I find them a little disappointing. Thank goodness for gocomics… :-)

Sounds like I’m not the only new mom who left the hospital weighing more than when I came in. Never could figure out that math…let’s see subtract 8lbs 3 oz. of baby, subtract placenta, and get a larger number?

go figure… I actually gained very little weight when pregnant, lost it all, plus some when my son was born…but… I got post-partum depression, was given anti-depressants and am now 3 sizes larger than I was just after giving birth…

Rmom – my heart goes out to you – I can’t imaging how you gained weight after the baby was born – are you sure they didn’t weigh you with the bambino in your arms?
