Well this site just made me feel 100% better! Let me start from the beginning! I was 15 when I found out I was pregnant with my first child. I am 5’2″ have been since the age 14 & I weighted about 115/120 lbs. By the time I went in to have my first little girl I was 16 & weighed 175 lbs. I remember waking up one morning for school & putting on my “big” overalls at 9 months pregnant & busting the ties on the sides of the overalls. I cried .. a lot. But my pregnacy went great & my labor was new, so it was painful & emotionally draining but nonetheless it went good. My daughter was 7 lbs even & beautiful. I was a single mom at 16 but I had my mom and family & it was great. Then at the age 18, I started dating the same guy, (just fyi he is also the same one I lost my virginity to, and now is my wonderful husband almost ten years later) I got pregnant again. This time I weighed about 120 & when I went to to have our son (6lbs 4oz) I weighed 140 & miraculously weighed 125 when I left the hospital. We had a lot of problems & we split up. Then 2 years later we were back together & I got pregnant with our 2nd little girl. I weighed about 140 when I got pregnant with her & 160 when I had her. Then this in Feb’09 we finally made official and got married. I guess after all that babbling the entire reason for my post to begin with is that, I’ve been with my (now husband) on & off for nearly 10 years. He remembers the pre-stretchmark, pre-baby gut me & I always feel like he couldnt possibly be attracted to the me i am now. But finding this site & realizing im not alone in feeling that way really helped me. We are beautiful & stretch marks & baby guts are what makes us the mommys we are! & if my husband has been around through 3 baby & hormonal pregnancies and is ok with it then I can be ok with who i am & how i am. P.s. we’re now expecting baby #4 in september. I’m about 6 weeks! Cheers to all you beautiful moms!
I know this may sound weird.. but I’m quite envious of your belly button! Its so perfect, I only have 1 and its now like a crease across my tummy. I think you look awesome for having 3 babies, and congratulations on your marriage and baby #4!!!
you look great. i don’t even see a problem here.
Well, considering that you’re on baby #4, I think it’s safe to say that he still finds you attractive ;)
Looking amazing! Far better than my pre-pregnancy figure!!
thanks so much for the comments! i finally found my story on here. yay! all you mommies on here are absolutely beautiful!! my husband has been credited for telling me quite often lately how pretty i am. to all the mommies with any physical issues at all.. just remember that God made us the way that we are. He made our bodies to have children & nourish them only the way a mom can. What they leave behind is the evidence of the miracles that once graced our bodies. Love you all!
I’ve only had one baby and you look better than me! :)
