You are sooooo beautiful

I just cried for this woman. I felt that pain and hopelessness too. I am 20 years from there now, it was a struggle, my husband didn't understand at all and just got mad when I'd get irrationally emotional. Ladies, it does get better. Sometimes it just takes awhile. (((HUGS)))

<3 this brought a tear. wonderful message and picture!

You go girl

The last line is quite clever actually. Babys indeed demonstrate that you as parents are the world to them, and harvesting a little love for yourself is the least you can do!

Wow, this is the first time to ever hear about this. This is a bit scary

No one told me how much or for how long I would bleed afterwards.

Something about this picture that I find so beautiful!

6 losses, and 4 incredible successes, against the odds! What courage, what strength! What beauty, valiant soul!❤️

Thank you for sharing. You are amazing!!!!

Beautiful!

Haha! You rock!

No woman needs a " perfect" body. Magazines displaying celebrity moms with perfect postpartum bodies is an insult to all of us moms.

Mom: you're leaking! Haha

Is this what always happens to a woman's body after they have a baby? I'm honestly asking. I don't have kids yet.

I don't know what it is exactly about this photo... It is simple & elegant. She is stunning.

👍👍👍

Why the hell did I have to confirm I was 18 to see this? Our world is f****d up! I can see graphic violence, updating headlines about paedophiles, ridiculously overly sexual adverts which I don't want to see, but I can't see a baby having its dinner?!

I like this text, it's honest. These bellys are not beautiful, but they are real. I'm pregnant with my first and none of my friends have got bellys looking like these after their childbirth's so I did not think it was this common and now I'm scared I will look like this. If I will look like this, I will also have trouble letting my husband touch and a look at my belly. But just as she writes in the last sentence, one should be thankful for ones mommy body.

This man is definitely a keeper! What a proud Dad!

That is one beautiful baby!!!!

Popular by demand. 😉👍 Great photo

Right after my first child was born, I was very swollen and bloated. TBH, I still looked pregnant. I was in public, and my MIL was holding my son. A stranger asked how old he was. Then she turned to me and asked when MY baby was due. I still laugh about it to this day.

The two other children are conked out. While little (brother?) has his dinner. Such a cute picture.

Don't ever give up!

The uterus is the size of a small pear but when it's housed a baby it obviously gets a lot bigger to accommodate. That's quite a size difference so it'll take as long as it takes to shrink back. Everyone is different.

Having twins means having twice as much to love.

I don't get these pictures of the placenta. For me, it just looks disgusting. I know, it's natural and all that and I think the placenta is a really cool and amazing thing. I mean, we pregnant women start growing a hole new organ! How cool isn't that!? But I still don't see the point in showing it of. It's a beautiful thing that enables new life, but it's in no way beautiful to look at. I mean, pooping is also natural and it's amazing how are bodies function, but we don't want to see a picture of a women with a big s**t in her lap, do we?

We have so much pressure on us from the media and the unrealistic body standards. I pray this little girl will grow up in a more accepting and enlightened world.

How funny

She's got the idea! Hands free.

What a profound statement. It helps explain postpartum depression.

Respect!

The Mom Body is so soft and reassuring and appears much more healthy. Both versions of you are gorgeous and that baby... beautiful! Congrats!

She looks like she's in great shape. I never got the loose skin or stretch marks. I wonder if it's bc I had cesarean deliveries?

I love that you can tell she brushed the toddler's hair to the side and her hand just never left... so sweet.

💜

BEAUTIFUL

These celebrity moms are set up as an example of what we "should" look like postpartum. It disgusts me. How many of us have a nutritionist, personal trainer, a gym room in our home, and access to tummy tuck surgery? And how many of us have lots of idle time bc we are "between projects" and have a full time nanny to care for the baby?

I had I google vbac. I've heard of it, but didn't recognise the term.

Oh geez that baby is so beautiful!!

I don't know what all you've been through but you've emerged stronger more powerful than anyone who's ever tried to bring you down. Love your little girl Mamma, your her world, her warroir and no one could love her as much as you💖

Great children's story.

beautifull photo

The baby is so pink! There was anther article on BP that talked about the differences in newborn's color. It can vary. Both my children had yellow tones bc they were anemic. (bc of my 0 negative blood type)

Respect! Look good! 👍👍👍

Respect!

I like all that in a women

Amazing. I'm glad the midwife made it. Better late than never. ;-)

I could never get in that yoga pose. Great affirmations, and coming from a man. What a great guy.

You are beautiful at any size.

"I love my Mommy" Mom will treasure this photo forever.

Baby is comforted by Mom's closeness and warmth. Mom looks like she needs that nap.

It's so easy to forget to care for yourself, when you have others depending on you. The responsibility can be overwhelming.

CMEO. This is my story. Having a cesarean did make me feel like a failure.

Is it any wonder that women get stretch marks? Your body expands in so many ways, with the growth of the child.

Mesh undies are the best. I still actually have some from when I was in the hospital last.

Wonderful bonding moment

Baby is like "Mom, what are you doing?" Mom: "It's called a selfie"
