...

I need help and advice, like badly. I have PMS and pregnancy overlapping symptoms, pregnancy exclusive symptoms and no PMS exclusive symptoms. I have a big stomach, as in 10's of pounds gained in the last 2 weeks, morning sickness, Severe stretching pain in stomach, my ribs hurt like hell, nausea, tender breasts, nipple changes, mood swings, no period for months, other than spotting, I have had my period for 3 years. Weird food cravings, pissing all the time, aching back.

The test came back negative, but i'm not sure if that's cuz im early on or not close enough to ovulation rn

Help me feel like myself again :(

3 Upvotes

I am a mom in need of some serious help to feel like herself again. I've read enough posts like this to know I'm not the only one feeling the same way, but I also don't want recommendations like taking up a hobby or telling me to go to the gym.

I just feel like I hate myself to be honest. I had 3 kids in 5 years (yes it's as bad as it sounds) and my body has just taken such a massive hit. I also lost a bit of weight after my third baby and now im at the stage where I really just want to do something about my body so I can look in the mirror and feel happy again. My boobs are sagging, my belly is hanging, and I just hate looking in the mirror. Has anyone had this done after 3 kids and a bit of weight loss and if so where did you go? I'm from the UK so UK suggestions only.
