Hmm – could I somehow tap into the apparent awesomeness of breastfeeding without actually getting pregnant?

You know, I just recently found out that I’m pregnant. Just hit 3 months this week and I need to remember to come here and read this type of post on mightygirl.net every time I feel sick and terrified of what I’m about to go through.

I know you’re almost done, Maggie. But could you kindly do as much of this as possible over the next couple of weeks?

I’m scared.

Another cheer for breastfeeding! My baby’s 8 months old, I don’t exercise and I eat like a cow (an omniverous one that likes cookies)… and I am 20 pounds less than I was when I got pregnant. It’s like liposuction through my nipples.

nice to meet you + your great blogs mighty*mom
like jewjewbee commented, “breastfeeding rocks!”
it melts the pounds of you + stimulates oxytocin t o shrink your uterus + abdomen back into place.
enjoy your magazine reading + baths while you can!

The jelly belly is a bit odd, but I found that wearing form-fitting maternity pants as long as they would stay up helped a lot! I also wanted to give a glimmer of hope that losing baby weight is not always hard… I totally lost all my baby weight (and then some) by my 6 week appointment… Breastfeeding rocks! Granted, I soon lost so much weight that I had co-workers plotting to send me home with some casseroles… On the bright side, I was able to opt for higher calorie foods without any guilt! Best of luck with the rest of the pregnancy and then with that Mighty Cute Baby!

i love this series and it sounds like you have only a few more weeks to go, so slip a couple more in before the babe is here. i was just thinking the other day (as i glanced at my exponentially increasing belly) gym? hmmmm, gym. this pregnancy thing is an unbelievable process, compounded by the fact that there are two flipping around in my belly. i wish i had room for cookies.

My baby is ten days old. I adore him. But this gelatinous mass where the adorable tummy used to be? Cruel! Cruel! O adorable tummy, how I long for you!

Amen to cookies.

I too loved the tummy. It was beautiful, large, growing! I was the most stunning woman ever!

It doesn’t work after the baby is born. Or 6 years later.
