6 months, now (Anonymous)

Bonnie (SOAM) Belly, First Pregnancy, Postpartum, Pregnant, Submissions 4 Comments

So my beautiful daughter is 6 months old and it just hit me like, “Holy crap! It’s going by so fast already!!!!” I can’t wait to be able to have conversations with her, take her to play on a playground, find out the things she’ll be into, and just see her grow. When me and my husband found out we were having a baby…we didn’t know what to think! Then we went and saw that first ultrasound we were so excited, it was REAL then. Neither of us had a real family of our own, but now we do and we’re so happy; everyday is a new learning experience with our daugther.

Two boys and trying for one more baby (Anonymous)

Bonnie (SOAM) Belly, Breasts, Postpartum, Second Pregnancy, Submissions 3 Comments

I have had two boys that are sixteen months apart. My oldest is three and the baby is almost two. I workout several days a week plus I try to eat as healthy as possible. I am disgusted with my body but I also realize that this body brought two beautiful lives into this world. My husband looks at me with loving eyes and has embraced everything that came with these pregnancies. However, my insecurities and discontent with body is part of my everyday life.





My changing belly (Anonymous)

I am 26 years old with 2 kids, 18 months apart. I was lucky, I didn’t get any stretch marks with my first, but my second was a 9 pounder and I’m only 5’2″ so now I have lots of them! At first I didn’t like them, but now they’re my battle scars….a reminder how how amazing the human body is! I never thought I could carry, let alone deliver(no drugs I might add) such a big baby!







Accepting the “mom” figure (Anonymous)

Before my pregnancy I was 115 lbs and stood at 5’8. When I found out I was pregnant I was scared. I was 17 at the time and my boyfriend and I were having problems. When I saw those two pink lines on the pregnancy test I knew my life would never be the same. I broke up with my boyfriend, transfered to a new school and graduated high school on my 18th birthday (5 months ahead of everyone). Having gained 53 lbs and endured 7 hours of labor, on February 20th 2008 at 5:06 I gave birth to my daughter Haylie. 8 lbs 7 0z and 21 1/2 beautiful inches. I credit her with being my saving grace. Since her birth we have moved out of my parents house to a new town where I attend college for Dental Assisting. Haylie is now almost 8 months old and she’s my pride and joy.
I see my stretch marks and while they bother me I’m so thankful my body was able to nourish and carry a beautiful child to full term. I have accepted my “mom” figure, even the good and bad.
I am now 118 lbs and proud of my body.






2nd baby – 6 months pp (Anonymous)

Bonnie (SOAM) Belly, Postpartum, Second Pregnancy, Submissions 10 Comments

I feel so insecure about my new post pardum body. I looked so much better after my first son, but am having a tough time losing weight after my youngest son (my oldest is 3 1/2yrs and my baby is 6months). I feel so ugly compared to many women around the city. I cannot seem to find clothes that I like, and I am feeling hopeless. I love my children with everything and would not trade them for the world, however, I would just like to look decent.

I’m 22 years old and I got married may 19 2006 and found out I was pregnant in july 06. That was the happiest day of my life.I was like I will never get stretch marks I never put any coco butter on my belly and I swore I would be lucky, I wasn’t

My belly is covered in them and Now my daughter is 19 months and now they are fading, but I can see them.. It bothers me but I’m learning to love them, they remind me of my beautiful Daughter Adonia and seeing other women with the same stretch marks lets me know that I’m not the only one… I have been working out to get my tummy back before I get pregnant again…

2 years pp and finally at a “healthy” weight…

I was overweight before my first pregnancy. I all the pregnancy weight plus 20 pounds after that delivery. TWO YEARS after my second delivery I am finally at what is considered “normal” weight for my height. What I should have weighed before conceiving #1. I am generally happy with my body except for my stomach. The faded stretch marks don’t bother me so much. It’s that grossness that hangs over my c-section scar. What’s up with that?
