My Mommy Belly (Anonymous)

I had my baby boy 1.5 years ago, at the age of 26. He was a big boy, weighing nearly 10 lbs which made for a much more difficult labour than I anticipated. It ended up 2 days later in a C-section which I actually really liked. Relief. I found pregnancy to be much harder than i thought it would be, i had no idea my back would hurt so badly. When my son was born, I was shocked to realize that I did not love him immediately as so many people say. However this love grew and by the time he was 6 months old, I loved him so much. My love continues to grow and I just believe he is the most precious and adorable boy out there:) I started about at 155lbs and ended up gaining 32 lbs. I got the stretch marks on my belly at 38 weeks. I was really worried about them but at this point, i like how they make my stomach look like a mommy stomach. I have lost almost all the weight, just 5 lbs extra which is fine with me. My breasts are another story. I did not expect the engorgement when my milk came in and to go up 3 sizes overnight did not make my breasts any better in the end. Overall though, I did love breastfeeding so it is worth it. I love this site and I appreciate how people are willing to bare their bodies to help other women deal with theirs. For now, I do not feel brave enough to bare much, but here is my mommy belly with its lines.
