This is my tummy about seven and a half months pregnant( I didn’t get stretch marks till the last two weeks). The other picture was taken about a month ago so about five months after our boy was born. It doesn’t show my stretch marks properly, they are more visible. They have faded more than I expected since I do scar very easily. Thank you for this web site, it is so nice to see REAL post baby bodies!
i wish i had looked like you did pregnant and 5 months post. i’m 23 months pp and i’m still a cow
No name calling allowed, Regina. Be good to yourself! Many hugs!
Where did you find that great bikini top! It looks like it could actually shape and support my sagging chest :)
I am so jealous of your stomach, it is so flat and beautiful! I didn’t really spring back very well after I had babies. Oh well, everyone is different and the main thing is, we are all beautiful because of what our bodies have done.
Your body is beautiful, Yes you are just naturally lean, But even the lean can’t escape stretch marks it seems. But to be honest- you know very well as i do and everyone else who looks upon your pictures that your stretch marks are not visible at all in this picture. I love your pregnant belly too- were you like one of those maternity models? cos you should be if you decide to have another baby!
Tiamama-I cut the tags off cause they stuck out but i think it was seafolly, my boobs have sagged post baby too and this swimsuit is great, it has very thin foam shaping stuff in the cups which is so good for saggy boobs.
Regina-I love this site because it celebrates all our similarities and all our differences as women and mothers. We would be lying if we said we all didnt have our own personal ideal that we wished we looked like. I spent most of the first twenty years of my life wishing i had curves like my sister. I even let my insecurities stop me from doing things like swimming etc. having my son taught me to love my body for all the things it can do like have babies, walk, run, feel etc. I hope one day all women will learn to love theier bodys’ for what they can do and for their unique-ness. sorry for the rant! but please, everyone love yourselves! Hugs
To everyone else, thanks heaps for your lovely

Megan-I can see my stretch marks but that might just be because i know they are there and also i know wht my pre baby body looked like, I cant put one up that shows them better because they have almost totally faded and dont show on pics but im pregnant again now so( if my stretchmark cream doesnt work again)I will probably soon have some very visible ones to post hehe
