Why are our standards for moms/pregnant women so fucking low? Had a baby 2 months ago.  Gained exactly 20 lbs. was back to my pre pregnancy weight after 2 weeks.  I'm back to work, and when patients hear I had a baby 2 months ago they feign shock and tell me how they can't believe I had a baby and how great I look. I had a baby TWO MONTHS AGO. Not 2 hours ago. I'm sorry if this sounds like a humblebrag because that's not my intention, but really, how low have our standards fallen? Why is it some impressive feat that 2 months after I pushed out a baby I don't look pregnant anymore?  Don't eat like a fucking manatee when you're pregnant and you won't have "baby weight," to lose.
