* loss of feeling around my c/s scar (even now, 15 years later, it's not all back)
* strange small roll of fat more prevalent on one side (also due to c/s, apparently not uncommon due to the way it gets sewn back up)
* started getting cramps around my period and other menstrual symptoms I'd never had before-- after each kid, my period changed drastically and not usually for the better!
* I'm not nearly as perky after 3 kids
* stretch marks in surprising places
* bigger feet (my feet were already bigger than they needed to be!)
I've always had very thick, curly- wavy when longer, light brown hair. Didn't lose or gain any due to pregnancy. My hips don't seem any bigger- I actually fit in smaller sizes after the weight loss, but maybe it's just because I expanded brand choices

Oh, no period, but that is due to breastfeeding
In spite of exclusive nursing for each of my three kids, I got my period back anywhere from 3 months after birth to 5 months after birth. Just didn't seem quite fair!
As others have said, my feet grew, 1/2 size larger, each of 3 pregnancies. Used to be 7 1/2 before I ever had children. Now I'm a 9.
It probably goes without saying that for most of, we've never had quite as flat of a stomach as we used to.
Mine did too, I went from a 6 1/2, and every son gave me a 1/2 size. So now I am an 8.
No more flat stomach, I call it my souvenir pouch. Thank you three sons for the unwanted souvenir gift.
They are now 26, 28 and 30, all c-sections. My scar can still bother me at times. Especially if I am outside when it is hot for a long period of time or if I build up a sweat for working hard---I feel like scratching it out.
-feet bigger (went from 9.5N to 10.5M)...sucks...I'm tall, but still
-boobs bigger...went from DD to DDD (bigger while nursing)...also sucks
-had one c-section, stupid pooch over the scar
-harder time losing the weight after each one, but I also have PCOS...so that doesn't help there and I was over 35 with my last one
But good...my hair still grows faster and my nails are still stronger...and I had pretty clear skin before but now I don't get monthly breakouts
My first went pretty well, I ate anything/everything and gained 50lbs, but ended with emergency C-section. My second one, however, was fraught with indigestion and once I had him I continued having trouble with some foods.
Hi UserName14289; hope you are doing well .....I would like to say about your post baby asthma that this all is due to the hormonal changes....Actually what happens is Female hormones such as estrogen may have almost as much impact on the airways as allergies and hay fever. But estrogen itself is not the culprit in triggering the symptoms of asthma. Rather, it’s the fluctuation of estrogen - the up and down of hormone levels - that may cause inflammation in the airways.
I also had delivery a couple of months back...I would like to say that I had a natural delivery a couple of months back and hired midwives.....They made me sit in a big pool of water and made me sit in it...this relaxed me lot...I could feel better...
The natural delivery is very good as it is good for the health also has no side effects ....so this is the most good thing of it....To know more about this goto these sites and see the reviews and see the reviews....you can also go to sites like
I would suggest you opting for natural ways and midwives ....It is beneficial too for health .....IT is very peacefull and comfortable....These nidwives alo looked upto my newly born upto 28 days....I enjoyed the delivery of my baby because i could see my baby being born that too without any pain....
I'm almost four months out from my son's birth. Only a few small changes from a year ago (when we first discovered our little angel):
*still no period
*sore nipples (breast feeding)
*a little "loose skin" on lower belly
*tight or shallow "down there"--husband can't get in any more, it's almost like I've never had sex. I don't know why it's like that, "everyone" says it gets loose after childbirth. Doctor didn't see any problems at one month visit.
*tiny scar on belly due to monitor sticker digging into me during labor--I should have spoken up about it but I didn't.
*weigh about 5 lbs more (but I don't care, not noticeable anyway)
