I'm allowed to hate her, right?

So my friend from HS had a baby girl 5 weeks after me.  She said she only gets up once a night to feed her baby (she FF's), is getting plenty of sleep, and is already back in her pre-pregnancy jeans.  I, on the other hand, am EBFing so I'm up 3 times a night, am NOT getting sleep (especially w/ my 2.5 yo DD) and still need to lose 17lbs to get to pre-pregnancy weight.  Oh yeah, and she didn't get any hemmroids.  I had them all pregnancy and still have some left over from my first pregnancy.

 I hate her!  That's ok, right?

Yes, you can hate her.

A woman from my new mom's class (FTM) labored for only 5 hours, had a home-based water birth, was able to EBF without any issues, plus bank an extra 8 ounces a day for freezer stash, ran a 5K 4 weeks after delivery, fit in her pre-preggers cloths at 5 wks, cloth diapers, makes her own baby food, and had LO STTN at 6 weeks old.

And she was the nicest person on the planet. I hated her for months. Actually, still do, LOL.

Lurking... but my DD was a decent sleep from 4 -12 weeks, the started STTN until 6 months,  Once she turned 6 months she has been getting up 1-3 times a night.  It's worse then the newborn stage!  Anyway, my point is, just b/c your friend has it good now, doesn't mean it will always be that way :) You don't have to hate her just yet :)

Absolutely!

FWIW- I think she's either a lying liar or a b!tch for gloating.

I'm sure the whole STTN thing will last about another 3 days...kids have a way of changing *** up on you just for kicks. Also, I'm sure she's lying about some of that as well. Just ignore her. Ten years from now you may have a straight-A student while her kid is still working on being potty trained. Stick out tongue

I have a friend who had a baby boy 10 days after me.  Let me remind you she is 7 years younger than me, doesn't work full time and go to school full time.  I constantly got compared to her throughout pregnancy.  I swelled she didn't, she stayed up till all hours of the night with friends, and I crashed out at 10 pm.  Now that we both have our LO's she is EBF and  EFF.  She lost all her weight already, and I still have 30 more to go.  She can BF and I can't, her baby is quiet all the time and mine screams all day due to reflux.  I hate the know it all attitude she has and reminds me all the time how BF'ing is so great for baby, I should try it.  I wish I could but my body won't do it.  I hate her!!!

Yes, but I've been trying to not compare. Otherwise I would go crazy because compared to other people my kid is difficult!
