Loving Myself (Anonymous)

I had 3 children, close together and it took quite the toll on both my body and my mind. I’ve struggled with depression since my oldest was born. Shes almost 5 now. It has also taken me awhile to embrace myself; my body and see it as a part of my story rather than ugly and I think I’ve finally done that. My body is amazing. It can breastfeed, birth children. My body tells a story.

~Age: 23
~Number of pregnancies and births: 3 pregnancies, 3 births
~The age of your children, or how far postpartum you are: 4.5yrs, 3yo, 19mths.

    This is the first story I have commented on, and I just wanted you to know that after seeing this site and your story I feel so so so much better. I look just like you. I have 3 little girls just about the same age as your children and I am only 22, I also struggled so hard with how I look. I was 94 pounds when I got pregnant and NEVER had weight issues until I had my 3rd baby. I think you are beautiful and wanted to thank you for sharing. Its a good feeling to know I’m not alone.
