Hi,
I’m 35, mother of 4 beautiful children.
My PP weight was in 110-120 range. My first – twin pregnancy my weight went up to 198 lb, I went back to 115 lb 9 month after.
18 after the twins I’ve had my third beautiful baby and my weight was up to 170 lb. Again I lost all extra weight by the 9th month after the delivery.
Two years later I’ve had my fourth baby and my weight went up to 165lb. I’ve managed to lose 35 lb, but the rest is still with me.
I feel as if I had been more athletic I could get in the better shape, but my flabby belly will always stay with me and I hate it.
My husband is being very supportive and still very attracted to me sexually which means a lot. In general I feel very proud of my children, my husband and myself. Right clothes, nice hair, lipstick and wedges – and carry myself like a model, makes people turn their heads whenever I get out with all of my babies who are 5,5,4 and 2 now and I feel good. Carry yourself tall, girls, and your bellies will look flatter and your breasts fill sit higher and everyone will see how gorgeous you really are.
You are fantastic! My wife and I have had 3 kids. She looks great to me to. But her self esteem seems to be low. I showed her a picture of her over 15 years ago and had her stand in front of a mirror and compare – you know she looked the same. I love her. Gary
Awesome point! Its not that you make yourself look ten lbs slimmer with good posture but you make yourself look ten lbs heavier with bad posture. It projects to people that you don’t have confidence in yourself and it changes the angles of your body to look wider.
I asked my husband what would be the very youngest I could pass for one day. He said “Um, probably 23.” I am 27, no wrinkles, I’m pretty fit and I love dressing trendy so I had to ask him why he didn’t think I could pass for a teenager. He said “Teenagers don’t stand tall when they walk and look people in the eye.” Indeed!
You look amazing!!! I wish my boobs looked that good! Thanks for posting. You’re right, we should hold our heads high and love our beautiful mom bodies!!! Show it momma!!!
You look gorgeous! You are absolutely right. The way you carry yourself makes a huge difference in allowing your natural beauty to come out. You’re an inspiration! :)
Wow! Look at that BUM!! and those legs! I think you look great!
Love your attitude and your post, and think you look beautiful! You are very inspiring!
Wow, your breasts also stand very high, even by non-mom standards! :-D
Thank you so much for your kind comments, everyone, it felt really good to read them.
LAMA, it’s only because I was so flat before the babies.
I breastfed my twins until 9 month old, my youngest daughter and son I breastfed until almost 2 years of age. When I went down to 115 after the twins my breasts did not look or feel good at all, extra 10 lb seemed to do the trick, that’s why I’m not in a hurry to lose them ))
It took me awhile to realize this… I’m glad you did.

I wish I had those boobs and I’ve never been pregnant! You look great.
You are very beautiful, mama!!! I also had 4 babies in 3 years with the same age spread as yours. They are currently 3, 3, 2, and 3 months… it’s nice to know that SOMEONE out there is in the same boat! You give me hope that it is possible to look good after four!
Oh wow you really do look amazing and your body has produced four beautiful children. I’m 20 weeks pregnant now with my fourth baby. My children are aged 3 yrs, 22 months and 8 months. It’s nice to know there are other mums like me out there.
You are so right. It’s amazing that when your a mum a little bit of make up goes a long way and the write clothes make you feel and look great. Although I can imagine you look great in anything :-). Thanks for sharing your story and pics. Very inspirational :-))
