Self acceptance

You’re so beautiful momma! It was hard for me too at first especially when society shoved their idea of “beauty” into your face and it doesn’t include tiger stripes and a scar. But honestly, I just learned to love it! Seeing women like you being vulnerable made me feel incredibly lucky to be apart of such an amazing community and to be PROUD of my body. Your body made a human! I’m a c-section mama too, our scars are beautiful! My hubs has always embraced me and made me feel gorgeous, even in the hospital an hour after giving birth. So I’ve just naturally felt comfortable around him. I think communicating that you feel vulnerable to your partner will help them understand that you’re going through some changes and need reassurances. ❤️

Thank you mama!
No problem. I also have a hard time too. Sometimes I just try and Distract myself by having “Bonding” time with baby
You are beautiful! You’re only 4 months postpartum, please give yourself time to heal. ❤️ You grew an entire human and that’s incredible! My stretch marks have pretty much disappeared completely (I’m 15 months postpartum). It gets better. Hugs to you!

I feel the same 😢😢. I’m sometimes afraid to have s**. I cry silently in the shower! But my husband says he loves my stretch marks and the belly pouch because that place once used to be our baby’s very first house🥰🥰.
You look awesome!I’m almost 5 months PP and definitely don’t look that good. Your scar also looks good.

Thank you so much! Do you have a c-section scar too?
I do. I had complications which led to a lot of scarring. Mine took forever to heal and is super thick. Also my tummy is not nearly as flat as yours. Trust me you look great.
You look great ! I’m also 4 months postpartum, and definitely not fitting in my old clothes haha. It took us 9 months to grow a baby it will take time to get back! But embrace it you brought a baby into this world 🙌🏻
It's been 4 years and I'm still having a hard time trying to accept myself. I look at myself and wonder how my husband still finds my attractive. I dont even want to look at me in the mirror.

I completely understand that feeling. I just try to remind myself that my child will look at me like i’m the most beautiful person, regardless to how my belly looks!
You look beautiful !!
I am also 4 mo pp and am having a very hard time accepting my new body. I had an emergency c-section - which I was definitely not mentally prepared for. I was just able to start working out again this past week and thankfully it didn’t hurt anymore! My partner has been great but I personally don’t feel attractive in my own skin at the moment. I try to keep telling myself positive things and distract myself with the beautiful boy my body was able to grow! It truly is a miraculous thing we are able to do with our bodies! Love to all the mamas out there! 🥰
so beautiful mama !! ❤️
Girl what?! You look so good! I hope my body looks that good at 4 months postpartum.
You look great! I just look at my new body as a result of my beautiful baby
I'm 6 months pp and look 1000x worse

Still beautiful regardless mama
For me, it was really easy accepting my stretch Mark's because I grew up seeing them on my mom. The jiggle has been tough to be okay with but then again I'm only 2 months pp. Once I get back to training, it'll tighten up at least a little. Just gotta be patient

I’m 3 months pp and I’m the reverse! I don’t mind the pudge per say but the stretch marks are hard to accept.But it’s amazing what our bodies can do!!!
You look great 😁 scaring and stretch Mark's will fade with time which will hopefully help you feel more comfortable in yourself x

You look beautiful!! I'm 4 years pp and I'll be honest, it took a looong time for me to be comfortable in my body again. I wish I was more transparent with my husband about it, I don't think he realized how hard it hit my self confidence. Don't beat yourself up if it takes you a while to accept all the new things about your body. Just know that you are lovely and you just created life!!
Wow I love how your stomach looks gives me hope I won’t have a baggy tummy after giving birth. Stretch marks are gonna get clearer for sure. You look great mama !
I think you look great. I still looked pregnant at that stage and those marks will fade. Learn to love yourself and remember confidence is what is sexy xx
Your body isn’t even done bouncing back and you look great! Keep this photo and look at it when your six months, one year and two years. You will laugh 😂
Looks a lot better then mine. I’m 2yrs postpartum
Okay as a C-sectioner twice over, I have to say your scar is like perfect.

Also your stretch marks will fade tremendously!
You’re body may not be what it once was before but it’s still beautiful. You’ve created, nurtured and grown life, that’s amazing! It will take a while to to accept this new change, learn to love your new body and the confidence will grow with time. No matter what size your are or flaws you have, confidence is a highly attractive trait. Xx
My partner has definitely been very supportive and loving, regardless to what my body looks like. I guess it’s just really hard to accept unconditional love sometimes when you doubt yourself. Send much love your way! It’s so refreshing to hear from women who share similar experiences!
