Body by Baby

Many of us feel embarrassed of our post baby bodies. Some of us are surprised that we didn't snap right back to our pre-baby bodies. The truth is, no matter how fast you bounce back to your pre-pregnancy state, you will never be the same. Be it from stretch marks, wider hips, sagging breasts, or just a new state of mind about your body, you are now forever changed by the miracle that is childbirth.

So, because Gisele and all her friends make it seem like stretchmarks don't happen, I started Body by Baby. Stretchmarks do happen. So does saggy skin. And saggy boobs. And that is ok. Because we are real women. Our bodies aren't perfect. But they didn't get this way on their own. They got this way because we are fucking awesome and CREATED A HUMAN IN THEM. What's a stretchmark or a muffin top when we actually made life?


This is what a real woman's belly looks like. This is what having beautiful babies does to a girl. And it is awesome:

This is Kim. She is a mom of three.

Here is her story:

My name is Kim and I'm a 33-year-old mother of three monkeys, 7, 6 and almost 3. I had c-sections with all three of my kids. I used to be one of those people that never had to worry about what they ate. I would sometimes have people accuse me of being anorexic (jealous bitches). Not anymore though. My 30s hit me with a bang and I have lost my metabolism along with my sanity. 

P.S. I miss my old belly button.

Thanks, Kim. You are the shit for sharing with us what we all hide from each other.
