Pregnancies: 1
( 7 months pp)
Height: 5’3 Weight: 134
I had just turned 18 and graduated high school in 2013 when I found out I was pregnant. I was terrified to give birth because it was one of my biggest fears in life ( yay I did it! Lol) but nothing scared me more than knowing my body was never going to be the same, I was already insecure so as if I needed any more of it. I knew what pregnancy was going to come with. Stretch marks on the parts of your body that you want to show off the most , no more pink hershy kiss nipples that my boyfriend liked so much, and no more smooth skin to rub against while making love. The part that tortured my mind even more was realizing I was young and didn’t even have the chance to appreciate my body while I could. I couldn’t wait to pop out my son and I work off all the weight I gained during my pregnancy. I was so determined to come back 10 times sexier lol (i gained 33 pounds) Well I gave birth on June 5th 2014 to a healthy 6 pound baby boy and the moment I came home I looked at myself naked. Who even knows what I thought at that point. All I remember is that I was like whoa! What happened to you lol
My body was all of a sudden an obvious billboard sign advertising these stretch marks and saggy boobs and dark nipples. I was horrified. I definitely wasn’t buying it. Who could ever love me? Right? Now I could never be naked during sex and feel sexy. Sure I could do it but would i enjoy it? (No. Way!) My pregnancy was normal, no difficulties, same with birth. I was thankful for that. But now I was left feeling gross and unattractive. So I started to workout and lost most of the weight. Thank God for my boyfriend of almost 3 years ( yes, my baby’s daddy ) who is always encouraging me and telling me that Hollywood is just stupid for making girls feel like they need to look perfect. I have really been dealing with my insecurities, especially now. I am only 19 and I sometimes feel brought down when I see other girls my age able to work a belly button ring or a crop top. I hate that this world makes you think postpartum bodies cant be sexy and people just act like they dont know its normal. But this is me letting go because of all you ladies and this website. I am excited to be a part of this. You all are beautiful no matter what! Let the project live on!
I just have to say that for 7 pp, you have snapped back amazingly well! You have the body of a soft, sensual woman with lovely breasts and a defined waist! Be proud of the way you look, you are simply beautiful!!
You look absolutely amazing. I’m really happy for you. Your body doesn’t look as bad as you think it does… its beautiful and sexy, so ROCK the shit out of it :)
You have a body that so many women after pregnancy would kill to have and I’m one of them :)
You look beautiful!! Be proud girl! And that hair!!! Jealous! :)
You look great, I wouldn’t know you had a baby, I have a c-section scar and sagging and stretched skin everywhere, you’re pretty lucky you made it through without too many stretch marks and you’re young so you’ll bounce back in the next few years. Take it easy on yourself. You’re great. You’re a mother and that’s an amazing accomplishment!
Do you realize how incredibly feminine your body looks? You look fantastic, and any man would want what you have. Your curves are in all of the right places! you don’t look like a girl, you look like a woman! ow ow!
Your boyfriend is a very wise man.
