wonderful

After my first I felt this way. Even after I lost my baby weight I still had what I call my mummy body, it's just changed. I stretch marked badly with him, which I was self conscious about, not to mention my section scar and overhanging skin after it.

I'm pregnant with number four now (nearly due), and while I intend to lose my baby weight again I have accepted that my body has changed. I'm not upset about it, because it gave me my wonderful children and it's part of who I am. I had my tummy exposed recently (baby was kicking like mad), and my eldest son gave me a big hug. He's sixteen now! He said he was grateful for what I've done for them. Well that was a shock 😄 but it did make me happy.

Lose your baby weight sensibly, make your body strong again, and embrace the changes pregnancy has made to it. It's part of who you are xx
