It’s been two and a half weeks since I gave birth and I’ve been experiencing some weird changes in my body. I guess this is what they call postpartum hormones.First of which is oily skin. During my confinement at the hospital, I was not able to wash my face with my regular wash. And lo and behold, when I resumed using my old facial wash, I suddenly felt my skin getting oily. An hour or two after washing and pimples came out. They suddenly appeared out of nowhere! Not the big ones but those very small ones. They are scattered around my cheeks, forehead, and chin and even in my body. I wonder if these will go away on my own or I will need the help of a dermatologist.
When I was eating hospital food, I kept complaining to my husband that what they are serving is very salty. But when I went home and started eating our usual menu, I still find most food, especially meat, very salty. Even the good old KFC chicken and Mc Donald’s quarter pounder are salty. Because of this, I’m losing my appetite most of the time which resulted to me losing almost all the pregnancy, weight I gained.
Lastly, I’m also experiencing higher than normal body temperature. I perspire a lot, get thirsty a lot and use the airconditioning a lot! I can’t seem to take the heat!
With all these changes, I guess my body is yet to get used to the idea that I am not pregnant anymore. I wonder how long will it take for my body to resume to its normal state? How about you, what were the changes that you experienced in your body after giving birth?
