In other words, stop feeling so ugly, lol. I am 6 months out and I still feel awful.

Oh Sweetie.
You'll get there. I was just starting to get some sleep and adjust to my new life as a mom of twins when I became pregnant again when they were 8 months old..needless to say that time around, I never got over the feeling, but after she was born, it didn't take long. I read reports it takes a woman's body 1 to 2 years to recover from childbirth. I'm not sure exactly what that means, but give yourself some time and just enjoy your new baby, Congratulations.

This is something that really depends on the mom and on the attitude. Some moms bounce right back, while others go for many months still trying to lose baby weight, still trying to find a balance between being a mom and their old life. You should try to get a weekend away, leave the baby with a relative you trust. You may just need a break from the mom routine.

I began to feel really good about myself after my first (and second, and third) baby because I would look at myself in a whole new way. To me, I didn't see how "fat and ugly" I was, I saw my body as a remarkable entity that just gave life to a brand new person. I was really proud of myself- and still am. I still have ugly days when I want to have the bigger boobs and the hair that actually does what I want, but overall I just put it in my head that I was going to be proud of my body and all the little things that took place during my pregnancy (hello, stretch marks) because I had a beautiful new baby to show for it.

It depends on how much weight you gained and if you got stretch marks those things can make you feel yucky or unattractive. How bout trying to walk a little bit or get some exercise that always made me feel better. It mainly just takes time for your body to get in shape again but it won' t get back to totally pre birth, no matter what hollywood says. Good luck

Perhaps it's time for you to talk with your doctor. Six months out is a bit of a long time to feel this way and you should get checked out. Also, make sure you allocate time for yourself at least once a week. Go to the gym, take a yoga or art class, get a manicure or pedicure - or both! And be relieved, this too shall pass.
good luck

I would say at LEAST a year. It takes a long time to feel yourself again & It takes a long time to get your body back (if ever) After I had my baby I didnt feel attractive at ALL, I had alot of issues, me and my boyfriend fought constantly because I felt like he wasnt trying hard enough to make me feel wanted and beautiful. I had alot of self esteem issues that took a long time to get over. because I weighed like 105 before I got pregant and I was a size 0, and that all changed and it was hard to accept and live with. but you will eventually feel like "yourself" again. Just remember that the things that make you feel ugly are just "battle wounds" that will eventually go away, and you have your child to treasure for the rest of your life. and all that you went through was worth it.

A few weeks you start to feel like yourself, but it is a stressful time a big ajustment, you might want to see your doctor to make sure you are not suffering from post pardum depression, many women suffer and go undiagnosed.

You're joking right!? Try never.
Just kidding. Life will never be the same, but it will get easier. Just remember this time will fly and you'll be longing for the days when you could wrap them up and snuggle them.
Take some time for you. Good luck.

It seems you have a self-esteem issue. Try exercising regularly, it will boost the seretonin in your brain making you feel better. If that doesn't work, you might try therapy or ask your doctor for an anti-depressant.
