My Body Transformation

Welcome to my pregnancy journey!

I’m not the same person I was before I had my baby. I’m a mother. I’ve gained extra weight, I’ve become more paranoid, but I wouldn’t change it for the world.

When I first got pregnant, I thought to myself, “this is the best news ever! I can’t wait to be a mom!” And throughout my journey, I loved every second of it. But after she was born, I found myself constantly worrying about my weight.

It’s been nine months, and I still have a “mommy pooch.” I’ve avoided wearing any clothing that would show it off, nothing tight or cropped. But today, after nine months of beating myself up over it, I put on the tight dress and went out. Everyone said, “You look great for having a baby, my you skimmed down quick!” All I could think to myself was that they were lying. I look terrible. But more and more people said it. And they said I was beautiful, and that I looked great.

I made a baby. I grew a life inside of me! Of course there’s going to be changes made to my body, and no I will not look the same as I did before. Today, I learned to love myself the way I am. Mommy pooch and all!

(P.S. I had an umbilical hernia as well, you can see in my 9 month picture! I was told not to do strenuous activity, which included core workouts!)
