After baby body

During pregnancy I gained 20kg /without the baby/, so I wasn't proud with my body at all. I think it's important how you feel about it. If you like yourself like that, then it's OK. For me, I just didn't feel in my skin. I lost weight with time and now I feel good and like my body. Strechmarks became from red to white and now they are not so noticable so I'm OK with them too. I also noticed that after birth I started to perceive my body in a different way. I stopped worry about every little detail that doesn't make me perfect. But I don't think giving birth has to be an excuse for stop trying to be in shape. I'm trying to do my best to keep a good shape and the things that I can't change - I just accept them, they are a part of me.

It's really hard to get our previous body after giving birth and even years after. I've learned that stretch marks can only be remove through Laser treatment but i don't have money for that. As long as my husband loves me and accepts that giving him a child means making some or shall i say major changes in a woman's body, i am happy and proud about every lines in my tummy. Just have to make a really hard effort to keep in shape to look and feel great about ourselves

I am still dealing with "mother body" issues and my youngest is almost 5. From late teens until 21 I was very happy with my body, muscle and tone and no complaints, I would love to be back in the body. Pre pregnancy 22-24 i had been very sick. I lost 25-30 lbs. I struggled to get to a healthy weight and body to be able to carry a health child. I was very happy with my growing body during pregnancy. Right after delivery my body went back to an acceptable image. I was very happy with the aftermath, proud of the changes that came from being a mother. Once my baby started eating the same as us around 1 year I started gaining weight slowly, getting more curves then I like. The average person would not say that i have a weight issue it is just not what i would like. I am not sure if i am coming to terms with what i look like or if I am making head way of changing through my always healthy eating and adding more exercise then previous. I do not think that someone should be made to feel badly for wanting to change the "aftermath" if she is not happy with it and her goals are realistic.
