Extra weight, never-fading stretch marks, and changes "down
there." After you have a baby, your body will never be
the same, and that can be hard to accept. Mindy
Roberts of The Mommy Blog asks the Momversation panelists,
"Are you OK with your post-partum body?" Featuring
guest panelist Kierna Mayo, Big Kid
Buzz editor of CafeMom.
Are you OK with your after-baby body? Do you accept them as a
part of being a mom? Or do you like your body better
now? Join the Momversation by

Report AbuseI wasn't thrilled with my body before I had kids, so I didn't think that it got any worse post baby. It's been the 4 years of taking care of them and not me that makes me not so pleased with my shape, because what I thought was wrong before has just gotten worse...

Report AbuseI am young, so I know I can work it off, but when it comes time for that I have no energy. What I miss the most...low rise jeans. I can't wear them because my mommy belly bulges over the top. If I get a bigger size they fall right off my butt.

Report AbuseBefore I became pregnant with my 1st born, I wore a size 7 jeans, a 34 B bra, and could fit into a medium top. My belly grew to an astronomical size and my bra size increased up into the DD cup. I had stretch marks on my boobs, my abdomen and butt. The obstetrician gave me a dose of Parlodel to dry up my breast milk because I was like a milk pump after my son was born. It was pouring out of me and soaking my shirts. The 1st time I really checked myself out about 2 weeks after my son was born, my boobs were no longer round and beautiful. They sagged and looked like flat sacks hanging 1/2 way down to my navel. My abdomen was wrinkled with stretch marks and hanging down and I could roll it around and had to squish it into my jeans. I stood in front of the mirror and cried. I was so ashamed of myself.
I posted a comment about it on the internet once and some lady said I should be proud of what I got out of it. She obviously didnt experience what I did with pregnancy.
I warned my daughter she would ruin her figure if she got pregnant and told her to wait until after she was married and older. She is exactly the same build as me and in her 3rd mo of pregnancy. She already is into a D cup. She has stretch marks all over her breasts and she is well on her way.
I am 44 now and considering a tummy tuck and breast lift and augmentation. Pregnancy ruined my body.
