This website is so amazing! It’s great to see what a “normal” female body looks like for once! My name is Stephanie and I am 21 years old. I’m a mother to a handsome 1 year old boy that I just adore. I got pregnant a week after turning 20, and was lucky enough to have a pretty smooth pregnancy, although I did test positive for Group B Strep. I gained 60 pounds throughout the entire 9 months, and lost 30 of those pounds just through giving birth. I breastfed for 7 months and lost another 15 pounds. Although my husband and I are not planning on having anymore children, we feel so lucky to have our son. He is worth every stretch mark, every push in the delivery room, every night of having to stay up to feed him, every dirty diaper, and even 2 saggy boobs :D
Here I am at 2 months pregnant…
17 weeks…
21 weeks…
28 weeks…
I never remembered to take pictures of my growing belly during my pregnancy. I worked up until the day I had him, so I spent my leisure time resting. Here are pictures of my stomach 1 year after giving birth…
I can’t seem to find the time to exercise, but plan on starting yoga once it get’s cooler. I love my son more than I could ever imagine. And I’m proud of myself and my body for being able to create such a beautiful, happy person.
My son and I now…
