Sexy Extra Skin
Here is my belly 9 months after the birth of my 2nd daughter (born 17 months after my first.) I am 28 years old. I gained 50 lbs with my first daughter (born 8 lbs 13 oz), and with her I measured full term at 25 weeks. My 2nd daughter was born 7 lbs 4 oz. Since her birth 9 months ago, I have lost 40 lbs, and am now smaller than I have ever been in my adult life. I also feel more healthy, and surprisingly more sexy and confident than ever before. I am proud of my belly. I am proud of what my body has done for me. I know my belly does not look “normal”, and no amount of diet or exercise will make it look so, but I am not ashamed of my belly, my stretch marks, or (as my husband says) my sexy extra skin! I am a mommy, and I am beautiful.
Mummy!! You look so so thin, and of course we know we have this marks for our best job in our lifes: giving live to babys!!
Take care of yourself because our kids need us!!
PD i have more or less same look than you… but with navel outside (hernia!)… and only one baby…
sorry my mistakes, i’m spanish!
kisses!!
Wow! You are beautiful. I love that last photo with the sunlight gorgeous!
I feel the same way after my daughter. I have never been more confident or proud of the changes in my body!
You’re so tiny, too! Wow! :D
Awesome attitude! You look gorgeous. Thanks so much for posting and for your healthy positivite perspective on your mama body!
I look just like you and I am 10 months post partum with 2 kids 18mths apart…its good to see i am not alone!
amazing!! this is what my belly looks like after 2 kids. It took me a very long time to deal with it especially because before i had the perfect body and was actually a swimsuit and lingerie model. Now there is no way id be caught dead in a swimsuit even in my own private backyard, im hoping one day i can be proud of it.
I’ve been reading through this site for a few months now, but have never commented. I’m a single female – no kids, and not even a potential partner in site!
However, I must say…you ladies look amazing. Incredible. And most women – moms or not – would happily trade!
And I can never get over how amazing it is that a *human being* lived there for 9 months! For all those ladies who write that they dread looking into the mirror each day: a *new human life* LIVED in there for 9 months! Do you realize how incredibly amazing that is?! I’m absolutely awe-struck.
we look like twins, belly-button, general shape and all!! i have 4 kids, but my stretch marks and extra skin looked the same as yours after my second as well. i think it was because i gained so much weight with my first, went from 103 to 165 and got most of my stretchmarks then and have added a bit more with each pregnancy, even though i gained much less for the rest of them. so glad to see you on here and so great to hear your perspective. thanks!
Your tummy looks just like mine!!! Except my stretch marks are still dark. I’m soo glad that I saw your posting. You can read my posting too, I just sent it in today. It’s titled 22 with twins. We have matching belly buttons :)
My mom’s stomach looks similar to that. Nothing horrible about it
i hope my belly looks like yours!!! i love your tiny hip bones!!!! i am 2 mos. pp and i found this site and it makes me feel better.
you are right. i am a mommy and i am beautiful.
how did you lose the weight? i gained 60 lbs. of fluid w/my son. i am 5′ 6″ and cannot lose the last of my 25 lbs. my milk dried up and that depressed me because my weight was melting off, of course. now, it’s not. but, i must admit, that i am noticing that each day, it seems to looks better…the extra skin and stretch marks.
so, please, how did you do it?!! you really do look gorgeous!! i only hope to have your hips and waist and belly one day!!
I just had my second son 6 weeks ago and I’m SO hoping my stomach will look like yours in a few months!
I have HORRIBLE stretch marks and when I stand there’s a pooch, but when I sit, ugg, it overhangs and I can grab it! My belly is wrinkled, saggy and depressing. All I want is to be able to wear the tighter shirts I did, like i’m sure you can!
How did you do it?? I just started working out at night.
Did you have the ‘apron’ before??
hi. i just found this site and i have to say it really helped. im 17 and just had my son a month ago but i have fat and extra skin that i never had before. i gained almost 60 pounds during my pregnancy and my son was born 8 pound 10 oz. i have been feelin horrible about my body because i know it will never be the same and i wont ever be able to wear a bikini again but reading what you put helped me realize that i brought a life into this world and if thats the result of my precious little boy i should feel gross.
