Post Baby Body: "I Feel So Uncomfortable In My Own Skin, Can't Get Used To Stretch Marks & Loose Skin"

A new mum got in touch with The Saturday Social this week.

She was looking for some advice for Dr Illona Duffy.

Here is her email: 

My baby is five months old now and besides the normal exhaustion of being a new parent, we're getting on great. I have to say though, I feel really uncomfortable in my body now - I can't get used to the loose skin and stretch marks I've developed since having my baby. I know it's all part of having a baby but I feel completely not like myself, I'm also seeing friends of mine who have had kids and have 'bounced back' very quickly, some you wouldn't be able to tell after a couple of months that they had a baby! Can you recommend anything to help me feel more like me?

Dr Illona also gave advice for Mark, who is worried about his thinning hair:

Social Anxiety: "With Everything Opening Up I'm Getting Loads of Invites and It's Making Me Panic"

COVID restrictions are lifting across Ireland this weekend.

While this is great news for many, it's a cause for anxiety for some.

Dr Illona Duffy offers her expert advice weekly on The Saturday Social.

This week, we had this email in from a listener:

Hi there, 

Some people might hate what I'm about to say but.....am I the only one not delighted about restrictions easing? I have always struggled with social anxiety, and I have to say was relieved when lockdown came in. I get very anxious before meeting people for social occasions - even friends or family and tend to drink and talk a lot to cope. I find the interactions exhausting and now am starting to get lots of invitations for things and am panicking! Can you please help? Thanks, Kate

Dr Illona gave her professional advice for Kate.

She also tackled another query from a listener with strained eyes:
