I am 27 and this was my first pregnancy. My daughter was born 5 weeks early by emergency c-section after I was diagnosed with severe pre-eclampsia after I started blacking out from high blood pressure. Up until that point I had battled many odds with this pregnancy. 2nd trimester bleeding, gestational diabetes, a bells palsy, crippling carpel tunnel, acne all over my back and chest, and morning sickness up until the day she was born. She was breach at the time of the c-section but was otherwise healthy and weighed 5 lbs 11oz.
I don’t really notice or care about the stretch marks, although friends that have seen my tummy looked surprised and shocked before telling me I “look great”. My husband and I have a joke that my tummy looks like the radar map for a hurricane, we find this funny since we live in Miami. I am going to the gym now several times a week and already have my one piece swimsuit picked out to hit the beach this winter. The last pictures are my tummy 5 months post partum.
Your tummy looks alot like mine after I had my daughter, the strech marks fade alot, I even wore a bikini this past summer, 18 months pp! You look great and your daughter is cute as a bug!
I’m so sorry that you had such a rough pregnancy. Your body looks better at 5 months pp than mine does at 2 years pp! You go girl!
I thought mine would never fade, they were even darker than yours, but nearly three years later, you can’t see them unless you look closely!
aw your baby is beautiful!!!! im glad she’s healthy, and im sorry you had such a rough pregnancy. i think your belly is beautiful :D
