How far along are you in your post partum journey? I’m 7.5 months post partum and still am struggling 😬

Not until you stop breastfeeding, unfortunately.

Every 2 months for me was a huge improvement. 2 months after I was weaned from my first I felt fully back to myself mentally. So maybe 16 months? And then 2 months later I was pregnant and started it all over

I have 3 kids each about 3 years apart, and while I can't say what it was like with the first two (because I really don't think it ever happened), with this last one it took a full 2.5 or so years.

Mine lifted after 1 year but i would still feel it come back during pms time. Now it barely comes back but I do have months here and there.

I started feeling myself again around 18 months. I still have very heavy fatigue days sometimes when my kiddo doesn’t sleep well but it’s definitely more manageable now.

I’m 17 months pp and it hasnt fully lifted yet but has gotten better I think?
