Do you ever find yourself thinking like youre still pregnant if you just had a baby?

Question

well my baby is almost a month old (on the 11th) but I find myself sometimes thinking like I'm still pregnant! like for instance Ill get groceries and then think "Oh I shoudlnt be lifting all these' and even more bizarre I'll have a soda or juice and sometimes think "oh this might make ehr move a lot" when she my baby will be sitting right next 2 me! have you ever had that?

and even though Ive snapped back physically, sometimes if I have to bend over I will do it really cautiously like I was heavily pregnant! am I the only one that does that?

Answer 1

Yes - for a few weeks after giving birth, I would hold my belly when moving through crowds and find myself limited physical activity unnecessarily.  Once, as I was picking up my daughter, I even thought, "I shouldn't be lifting something this heavy." !!!!!!

;)  It'll pass eventually. :)

Answer 2

I still move in almost every way that a pregnant whom would, and I kinda

miss feeling her move in my belly

Answer 3

That is too funny... I did the same thing.  I remember feeling my stomach gurgle / twitch and thinking "There goes the baby again".  I already had my baby about 1 month before that  ha ha.  Anyway, it does go away after a while.  Congrats on your new lil one.
