Postpartum Body Image, the Second Time Around
One of the moments that sticks out to me, after I had M, was when I was getting dressed to go get my staples out. It was my first time putting on real clothes to leave the house, having lived in a nursing tank and pajama pants for about four days. I was very swollen, still, from IV medications and fluids, but I was shocked when I tried to pull on a larger-sized pre-pregnancy shirt and literally got stuck.
