I was browsing on Myspace the other night and this one girl from high school ( i haven’t talked to her in years as I switched schools a lot ) who just had a baby on she was bragging on her blog about how it hasn’t even been a week since she had a baby and ppl couldn’t believe it and she’s so full of herself and she never talks bout her baby much it’s all about her and her great hubby and how her she’s an attention whore and can’t believe how her son draws so much attention in public and if he weren’t there they’d be staring at how cute mommy and daddy are. How conceited? I have a great husband too, but my life is centered all on my baby now, he’s all I wanna talk about. I don’t get jealous of other ppl’s babies because no one’s even comes close to compare or is ever nearly as cute! But, I was really upset last night how she was boasting how great she looks and I actually balled for an hour last night thinking so low of myself, but today I have a new attitude. I am beautiful, only 10 pounds away from my prepregnancy weight (although it seems like more as it’s all in my midsection)
So, have you ever gotten jealous seeing someone who just had a baby and they look better than you?
Or if you know someone who had a baby, do you gotta see the baby to see how much cuter yours is than theirs?
I know I am pretty shallow myself.

No. I am happy with my look and my body. Of course by nature you look at other women and say I would like to have her… but I am happy in the skin I am in and would never wish to be someone else because though there outsides may be preety you never know what is going on inside!

Jealous? Not really. I do think “wow, she looks great for just having a baby” I certainly don’t care about it at the end of the day. Everyone thinks their baby is the most beautiful (yeah, so do I), but, there will always be someone prettier. Its a fact of life. Screw how other people look-every body is different, every body after pregnancy is different. And how do you know everything she posted is true?? Myspace is full of people who lie. There is no way to prove if the pictures are for real, photoshopped, or prebaby pics. Who cares-just enjoy your baby and your own life and forget about the braggers who put you down.

Maybe a little, although I didn’t know her.
A guy friend from HS and his wife were at WalMart with their 7 week old twins. They also had 2 older daughters.
His wife looked GREAT! You’d never even know she had a baby let alone 2. She looked happy and glowing. I wish I’d been that glowing when my twins were that age. :-p
I was jealous of how great she looked and all that but she wasn’t boasting. She got a little embarrassed when I complimented her on how fantastic she looks.

Occasionally I have to hate on mom’s who went into the hospital looking like the goodyear blimp, but were back in thier pre-pregnancy jeans a few weeks later…I think that is only normal. I bet her life is not as great as her blog says it is. There is no proof that the pic she has up showing how cute she is is from after she had the baby. I bet she has a mommy pooch on her belly and has dark circles under her eyes.. Babies always draw attention in public, even the rare ugly baby, so it might not be because her baby is so cute…maybe people are wondering how such a cute baby came from a couple of trolls
I am bummed too. I am trying to plan an informal HS class reunion this summer and I am 80 pounds heavier than when I graduated. I gained all of them after having kids. I never got the last 10 pounds off after my 3 year old was born, and I was 40 pounds overweight then…then I had some depression issues and gained another 35 pounds. I am hoping to drop at least a few before my reunion at the end of June…
Of course the popular girls have lost the tiny bit of baby pudge they had in HS and have only gotten prettier…I am just glad I am not the only one who has gained
for every person who lost weight, I have found at least one who has gained or stayed the same…

Honestly no, because I am that uber-annoying mom who really did look amazing after my son was born. I dropped every lick of weight in the unpleasant areas, and kept the full breast. I was literally glowing. I think that had to do with the fact that I was so happy I was not pregnant anymore, and could get right back into a decent mobile routine. My clothes fit back again, and I slipped right back into my heels….. But you know what? I may have looked like a million bucks, but I was just as tired and cranky as every other sweatpant wearing no shower having mother!!! It may look all pretty on the outside, but we are all tired, a little worn out, and wish we could be gorging and napping, even us ‘glam moms’ BELIEVE IT! lol

I did feel jealous of one of my closest friends that I’ve known for years. I couldn’t help but feel envious of her tiny frame, no bloating (she was 115 at 8 months pregnant!!), and how her labor was easy and put no stress on her. I was the total opposite – gained tons of weight, bloated, had a difficult labor. On her facebook page, she had a status that said, “How can a woman at 9 months pregnant still fit into size 3 jeans? It’s a miracle.” That one made me cry about myself for days. The worst part about her weight gain (which was barely anything), was that her baby weighed more than mine! She only had her baby 6 weeks after I had mine, so I compared…which is natural. Her baby (a girl) isn’t nearly as cute as mine, though, naturally. =P
I’m glad you are getting back to your prepregnancy weight! I’m happy for you! It’s great to have a good attitude about things, and I’m changing my mind about my body, too. Yay! We are beautiful new mothers with lots to look forward to.
