Snap back

Why in society are women are expected to snap back right after having a baby? I’m 21. I had my baby when I was 20. He’s 4 months old now. My whole pregnancy I was told because I’m young and I plan to breastfeed I’ll snap back immediately. That’s all I heard So of course after having my baby, now at 4 months postpartum, I in fact did NOT snap back like they said 😂😂 And now I feel so pressured and feel as if I did something wrong. I over exert myself too much trying to shred this baby weight I just hate how everyone made me feel this way smh. I know some women DO snap back. But it’s pressuring and discouraging when you weren’t one of the lucky few.

It’s unfortunately due to how society goes. We have to be presentable to anyone. We can’t falter. That’s when you say screw it and do your own thing, we heal at different rates.

i’m dealing with the same thing rn. it’s really hard especially since i deal with body dysmorphia already. i’ve had my own issues with eating disorders in the past so im trying not to go back to that. even the girls around me who i know that have had a baby “snapped back” and it makes me feel even worse. sorry i wasn’t gods favorite 🙄 it’s really hard though and i wish people would keep those comments to themselves. those comments shouldn’t even leave your mouth to a pregnant woman cuz now im struggling and depressed instead of being happy for my baby

Girl I feel it. I was very tiny before my first and thought I’d snap back (I got pregnant at 19) but I gained 70lbs while pregnant a struggled to lose much. Now I’m pregnant with my second and my first will be 3 in 4 months and I’m stressed about my body afterwards

While I personally can’t relate to gaining weight I have had comments about how much weight Ive lost, I struggled badly with HG and the weight seems to still be dropping. It’s hard because there feels like there’s no winning with weight particularly after having a baby ❤️

Yea a lot of people saying alot of things trust me when I say ignore them. Everybody is different. I didn’t show with my daughter till I was about 6 months people keep asking my hubbi if I was really pregnant and I got offended but I learned to ignore it I know what real and what isn’t. After having our baby I didn’t snap back at all and that’s ok. My body went through a lot just like urs and when I look at my stomach I don’t think negatively I say damn u had a whole baby in there and it’s beauty.
