pride?

[ktlmg]

Am I the only one proud of my stretch marks and weight gain? Sometimes I look at pics of my body pre-pregnancy and wish I still looked like that but at the same time I love my body now. I love my fuller boobs, big booty and new curves... I think my baby bump looks attractive! I've been doing prenatal yoga and eating by the books (for the most part haha) and I've packed on 50+ pounds! I just want to know what you ladies like about your sexy new bodies?

[jessileanne]

I feel beautiful now! It gets frustrating when clothes that fit one day dont fit shortly afterbthough! Lol!

[ImDelicate]

I love the weight I've gained!!!! I was 100 pre-pregnancy and now I'm 135. When people tell me "Ah your going to shrink right back down!" It kind of hurts my feelings! Lol! I don't want to shrink back down...I like my extra weight! Lol!

[ktlmg]

Haha I hear you there! I tried putting on some lingerie the other night and had a good laugh when the top didn't even go past my belly button!

[MFH13]

I don't have any stretch marks but I lost 12 pounds from morning sickness and just now gained it all back. I'm back to where I started and I'm 23 weeks lol I'm loving the new boobs though! ;) I had like absolutely none before I got pregnant lol but unfortunately I can barely fit into my pants anymore so it looks like I'll be shopping for some new ones SOON, seeing as how I can't even zip them up anymore lol

[shyloveskai]

I liked my body after my first but i have to say im glad my stretch marks shrunk and turned hard to see. While pregnant they were so dark and hidious i hated my stretch marks. Im expecting the same will happen during this pregnancy.

[ktlmg]

@imdelicate aww tell them them to shut it! I'm sure you can keep some if you want. Although I do want to lose weight after I'm hoping I keep my butt!

I've just gotten my first few tiger stripes and they aren't so bad. They are really light and not that noticeable so I don't mind them at all. Of course I get frustrated with not having clothes that fit much but it just gives me a reason to shop and get clothes that accentuate my bump (:

[mommabear27]

Well my boy is already here. Im almost 6ft and before pregnancy, i was slim with plenty curves, an hourglass figure to boot. I hardly showed til i was 30w but then i popped. I must admit, i only ever looked about 6-7 months pg cause babes had plenty room to hide in my height lol, but i have a few on my tummy either side of my tummy. They're still red and visible. So is my wee pouch from where i had my section, i have a wee overhang  over my incision, and Im 10w pp. Do i care? Definitely not. Each mark is proof that i grew a life inside me, that i sacrificed a few things so that my son could grow into a healthy baby. Not that i gained lots of weight, but i didn't obsess over weight, or dieting. To me that's just silly. Yes take care of yourself and eat healthy but diet plans and not wanting any stretch marks? Come on lol. Yes i plan on going back to my original weight and size but i didn't expect it overnight lot. I am proud of my tiger stripes x

[ktlmg]

@omgstfu I popped overnight too I swear! Its weird though because my stretch marks are mostly on the right side.
@mfh13 at target they have this thing called a Bella band that you wear over your jeans to keep them up without zipping them! It works wonders!
@shyloveskai have you tried Bio oil? I've heard good things but never tried it myself

[ktlmg]

@jada I love maternity clothes shopping! There is sooo much to choose from and maxi dresses have taken over my closet. Haha
@momma bear I wish I was as tall as you! I'm 5'3" and I can't reach the shelves in my kitchen, especially with my bump in the way haha. And good for you for being proud! How is your little one doing?

[jada0316]

I have about 12 maxi dresses and cute little tanks that show my tummy . I'm only 22 weeks but I popped over night and I like that people notice I'm pregnant now and not just "getting fat" lol

[mommabear27]

Ha hai take my height from my dads family, he is 6ft and is considered the runt of his family sibling wise cause his bro  and sister are over 6ft 5 lol. But yeah its common sense you're more likely to get them than not, so why stress lol. They'll fade. My wee one is great, he already over 2ft long, and is just perfection, true love was in my first cuddle with him x

[chickenlittle13]

Ive always had a butt to die for but never boobs. lovin my new boobs and so is my fiance. not too happy about the stretch marks some days but then i remember there my tiger stripes and i dont care anymore(:

[RoopStetter]

I absolutely love my stretch marks. I love my husband spoiling me with food. I love it. I love every bit of pregnancy

[ktlmg]

@jada lol! My sister looked at me one day and was like "wow you're looking quite pregnant" and I didn't know what to say so I was like "thanks? I'm feeling quite pregnant" haha
@momma bear I'm hoping my little one takes after his daddy because he's a foot taller than me (6'3") and I'm glad to hear yours is doing well! Only 34 days until my due date!
@chickenlittle I've always had bigger boobs but absolutely no butt at all! My man loves it! As for your stripes be proud and rock them!

[mommabear27]

Roop - couldn't agree more :-) i generally eat quite healthy but i still indulged when i was pg, chocolate cake, going out for dinner and choosing burger and chips etc etc, and i didn't gain loads lol. Id rather care for baby than card for me. When i worked at my last place, we had an anorexic girl who was pregnant, it wasn't pretty. Why anyone would actively try to lose weight while pregnant is beyond me, but then i have common sense lol.  Who cares about a couple marks on their tummy when you have something so beautiful at the end of it. And yes, i loved every minute of being pregnant, cried from my early labour scare. I wouldn't have changed a single think lol. I miss being pregnant actually lol x

[mommabear27]

Aw 34 days, not long now :-) its the best feeling ever x

[uhohstellajean17]

I don't have to like everything everyone says but I can say no. You're not the only one. But I can also say I love my boobs now. From an A to C's and just getting bigger too! My *** seems to be getting fuller too, but because I squat moderately. And as far as the rest. I'm sorry but I do not find stretch marks sexy. That's just me. So don't y'all jump in at once.

[sammymarie92]

So far I only have fuller boobs which I'm so happy with bc I had no boobs before lol I have a little pouch but mostly bloating since I'm only 11 weeks. But I can't wait til I get big I'm so excited :)

[ktlmg]

@roop i love getting spoiled too! Sometimes I think my man is the pregnant one though because he's constantly suggesting different food for us to make and places to go out. And I think my stretch marks are awesome just because I get pampered by him more when he suggests massages and offers to rub my belly with lotion!  

[ktlmg]

@momma bear I seriously can't wait! I've been organizing and reorganizing his room for days now trying to see which way I like it best haha.
@Sammy time flies so cherish everything! I feel like it was yesterday that I found out I was pregnant and now I'm counting the days til I meet my little man. Looking back I wish I had started a pregnancy journal to remember all the little things that have passed and all the milestones

[mommabear27]

Ha ha you'll keep doing it til babes is here lol, i reorganized his room a million times lol. Making sure he had everything he needed and  making sure he was growing well was more important to me than a couple lines on my tummy lol. He wasn't planned cause i was on the pill but definitely the best accident to have ever happened to me lol, i didn't even find out til i was just shy of 12w :-) x

[sammymarie92]

@ktlmg I should do that the pregnancy journel...it sounds like a good idea! And I hope my boyfriend starts pampering me lol I mean he kinda does whenever I wanna go out and eat he always takes me even though its always mexican food which he don't like very much haha ill def have him rub some lotion on my belly when I get bigger, it sounds so relaxing :)

[RoopStetter]

@ktlmg oh man my husband has made countless midnight trips to taco bell. He is the best hubby ever =) he also shows up with ice cream randomly. He calls me shammoo and then loves on my belly. I love it. Lol. And its sweet that he rubs lotion on your belly for you
