    at the end of the day your body has created two lives. all the bumps, lumps and scars ( i've had 3 sections in 4 yrs so i do understand ) are there for a reason so be proud.

    This is so important, and I will remember, thank you for reminding me :A

    Now you see I thought it might be the same with him.....but noooooooooo....recent pics on Facebook show he has grown from a cute 18/19 year old into :o:o:o um a tasty looking man :o:o :T

    I'd go for it if I was you. You can always say you want to take things slowly.

    He's obviously seen you on FB as well and must like what he sees :D

    Most women have wobbly bits, it's something he will have found out by now.

    Woo hoo - firstly - GO EMSY

    Well done you on getting some much deserved good luck :)

    go for it, he knows all about you and obviously you have changed looks wise since but the messaging on FB obv shows he loves your humour and manner. Maybe a little date out and the chance to glam up is just what a new mum needs?

    Plus, if nothing comes of it, what have you lost?

    Regardless of how you feel about yourself, you shouldn't be looking at getting physically involved with anyone prior to your post-natal check-up (not making any judgement there, just a medical note). You'll probably have worked out that you get more tired post CS, than after a normal birth, so don't let him think you'll be up to chats into the small hours if he wants to come over, or take you out.

    Good luck!

    I suspect 3 weeks postpartum with a chap she hasn't seen for 10 years, this will not be high on her list of priorities. Particularly if she opts for the spanx :D

    However, medically I am fairly sure there is no reason to wait until the 6 week check out. I've had 3 children, 2 of whom were c sections and on each occasion on discharge from hospital I've been given advice on temporary contraception to use until a long term solution is discussed at the 6 week check. Never been told to abstain, and I suspect if you are told to its due to your own medical situation rather than a blanket ban for everyone.

    I asked a MW once (I think after the twins) and she said once the bleeding has stopped it's fine, but that you're very fertile after a birth (or an mc or termination) and she also said she better not see me in 9 months time :rotfl:

  • I'd say it's bloomin good timing, not bad timing. Just when you need real company, the kind that doesn't vomit on you when you give it a cuddle, up pops this offer. In your FB profile pic you look lovely, so stop panicking about what you look like!

    Why not suggest meeting for a coffee in the daytime. It's a bit less formal than an evening date.

    BTW, :beer: on being asked out.
    If having different experiences, thoughts and ideas to you, or having an opinion that you don't understand, makes me a troll, then I am proud to be a 100% crying, talking, sleeping, walking, living Troll. :hello:
