Your site is truly inspiring & liberating! This is the first time someone(besides my husband) has seen my belly since giving birth to my second son. I’m a small framed person gained 35 lbs with both pregnancies. With my first I lost all weight within a couple of weeks of my vaginal delivery. My second son was breech so I had a emergency c-section on his due date 8/2/04. I am 4 lbs to my pre pregnancy weight loss.
Here is the front view of my stomach. Notice my saggy pouch & belly button.
Here is the side view. I have about an inch of saggy skin that needs to be “tucked” in my pants.
Thank you so much for letting us share our beautiful child bearing bodies on your site.
I think your belly is lovely! It reminds me of MY mom’s belly, and how as an innocent child, I didn’t see a pouch and stretch marks, but I saw my mother, and how perfect she was.You’re beautiful. And your children will tell you so ;)
Thank you for sharing your pictures. I have the saggy extra skin too, and it bothers me to no end. I didn’t realize how common it was, for that to remain even after losing weight.Thank you for making me feel so much less alone.
Thank you so much for sharing!!
Thanks for sharing your photos. You’re still beautiful!
THank you for sharing your pics, looking at your tummy is very much like looking in a mirror, though I have a wee bit more “stuffing” in the skin folds. I hate that no matter how much weight I’ve lost (I’m down to my so-called “ideal” weight, 2 years and 3 months post my last pregnancy), that skin fold never disappears. It’s nice to know I’m not alone. Maybe one day I’ll learn to feel proud of my belly again…
