I never planned on having a c-section. I was hoping for a natural birth, but my daughter had other ideas. At 32 weeks we found out she was breech, and despite our best efforts, wouldn’t turn. I went 8 days overdue, and finally my OB/GYN decided to schedule me for a c-section when it became apparent she would not turn on her own. We found out, during the cesarean, why she hadn’t turned, and that was because she had gotten herself tangled up in her cord when she tried. Really, I am thankful that she is here at all. These pictures were taken 2 years after my daughter was born, after I had started to lose the weight I had put on, and after the stretch marks started to fade. My daughter is 6 now, and very proud of those “stripes” she gave me. I’d like to think that she will be proud to get them herself when she becomes a mother.
Very beautiful photos.
These are wonderful! Ooh, the sunlight on the one taken outdoors falls just perfectly, you look amazing. I had an unplanned cesarean surgery too. Thanks for sharing, you are beautiful.

You have a very beautiful figure. I, too, had an unplanned c-section, and then another c-section 16 months later. I hope to look as great as you in a year or two.
These are the most beautiful portraits I have ever seen!
