so here is a picture of my two sons and myself…my lovely tummy after the damage of having two children in under a year..exactly 11 months to the day apart to be literal. To my boys, I am the most beautiful mommy in the whole world and when they ask me about my stretch marks or extra skin, I tell them that it’s from them growing in my uterus and my body stretching to give them the best home I could. They love to look at pregnant bellies, watch the birthing video’s on youtube and we talk about THIS baby *my third* growing inside my tummy now. My kids don’t look at my tummy with shame, they look at me with pride and knowledge..they know I gave them my body and in turn, they give me their love. I am proud to carry my flaws, they are a small price to pay for the love I get in return. ~Melissa
your kids are absolutely adorable, i hope you have a happy and healthy third pregnancy!
Wow that’s beautiful!!! Its great to see a beautiful women bringing men-to-be into this world with a REAL view upon womens bodies!! Well done mamma!!
the way you put it is so beautiful! i wish everyone could look at it your way! i am one of the “lucky” ones who bounced back quickly – into my regular clothes and weight within about a week of giving birth, even after the second pregnancy which was twins. but even if i hadn’t i agree with you – i’ll take the trade anyday!
You have a wonderful, refreshing attitude and you are teaching your boys the truth. You and your boys are beautiful!
this made me cry
i hate my belly.
but i am slowly learning to get over it, i have a beautiful child in the end
Thank you. Your attitude is truly beautiful and I love that your sons know you gave them your body.
thank you, ive just had my third child 12 weeks ago and ever since my first ive hated my body as i cant see my pubs anymore it hags so low but finding this site has made me realise i shouldnt worry and starve myself i should love my body for what its given me three gorgeous perfect kids (my partners happy to as he hates how i see myself as he loves his ‘waterbed’ as he calls it and hates the fact i dont thanks you look great
Your boys will grow up to be some wonderful men who appreciate a real woman’s beauty instead of what is portrayed as beautiful on TV, magazines etc. I tell you, you are truly beautiful, and I would love to have the confidence you do.
You are beautiful, inside and out.
