s/o Body after Baby

A friend posted a link to this article and I thought of the conversations that have been going on about having a baby and your body afterwards. I thought it was a powerful article.

Re: s/o Body after Baby

  • Thanks for posting this!  I needed to see this as I've been so down on myself and my body lately.  I still can't say I'm happy with myself, but at least some of the stretch marks have finally started to fade a bit.

    I wish I had seen this site before I gave birth so I knew what to expect.   You see people around you who've had babies and they look wonderful with clothes on, but you don't realize what's underneathe and we're more critical ourselves than others.

    Thanks again!

  • Thanks for this. I, too, have been really down on myself. I've finally started working toward losing weight but when I look at my mid-section I get so sad. But this made me really think about it. Who cares if I ever fit into a tight dress again? My body has done something amazing, something many people dream of doing, and I'm going to love it for everything it is.
