When do they start sleeping more than 3 hours at a time?

What makes a woman look 6 months pg giving birth? If you are a STM, when did your belly fit back into normal clothes?

My digestive system is a wreck and I'm out of pepto bismol. Cuz I already took it all. Wtf why can I eat stuff w/o some BS happening to me??

I'm tried as hell but I can't nap. Now I gotta go wake up DS to get a good pattern today do maybe I can sleep tonite.

Ok - according to FB I wore 'real' pants approximately 1 month after having DD1 (and that was after my c section). Granted they were 1 size bigger than my pre pregnancy size, but they were REAL jeans.

DS is 10 weeks old and still doesn't sleep more than 3 hours straight. I wore my fat pants at 4 weeks and regular pants around 6 weeks after my second c/s. I'm still having all kinds of digestive issues.

1. I think right around maybe 4 weeks, she started giving me a 3-4 stretch from like 9/10-2am. I really can't remember the exact date, I was soooo tired.

2. Um, granted I had a c section, but it took a long time not to look still pregnant. Once I was about 4 weeks pp, i bought some regular clothes that fit (since none of my pre pregnancy stuff would fit) to get me by. And even though I have lost weight, I still can't wear pp sizes. My body is shaped differently now. Boo.

Even if you can't nap, lay down while the baby is sleeping. Don't play on your phone, don't watch TV, don't read, just lay down and relax. Even just getting 10 minutes laying with my eyes closed would often help recharge me to get through the rest of the day, even if I couldn't sleep.

C is 6 weeks and isn't sleeping at night or napping so I hear ya...

Mine started sleeping shortly after two months. I can't speak to your other ones, sorry.

We're at 12w, I still look pregnant, still don't have a schedule for DS, and he's still only reliably sleeping 3-4 hours at a time, sometimes less, sometimes more.

I'm wearing real clothes though, just a size larger. Sigh. I was 10 lbs overweight before getting pregnant so it's bumming me out. I spend all day every day cramming food on my mouth. Sooooo hungry.
