I think you really say it all here, you are right, our post-baby bodies are a reminder of the precious gift we carried inside us. And why could that not be beautiful? Even shot to pieces stomach muscles or sagging skin. Not pitying, but admiring looks is what that should invite. People in swimming pool changing rooms should be raising a glass to you, you brave woman, having two beautiful little girls in 18 months! xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04446306891256572719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437949099735865174.post-60327918658959493572013-10-21T21:53:42.842+01:002013-10-21T21:53:42.842+01:00Couldn't agree more.

It's been many years since I had a baby and I've grown used to my body and how it is now but I think it's easy to forget the initial shock at the inevitable change especially when we are surrounded by images of air-brushed celebrities. I know many women friends and family members who would feel encouraged by your wise words and the reminder of 'God creator'.

Their women were portrated as slim & elegant, but with beautiful bellies; proud of child-bearing I think! Fertility was & is so important but we('re told to?)/ want to 'have our cake & eat it'! I guess we all naturally want to stay young; in our minds ageing doesn't come naturally.We were initially created to live for ever. Be proud of your bulges, but, especially in your weaker moments, take heart that over time they can firm up. Although you'll never be quite the same again, and may not fit into those clothes, you can eventually lose bulges. Whatever, you are beautiful, like your two lovely girls xoxCarrienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437949099735865174.post-39592305804696687952013-10-14T13:20:42.759+01:002013-10-14T13:20:42.759+01:00Claire this is so thought provoking.
