Real mums’ bodies (after baby)

With two kids – the youngest is 18 months – this 40-year-old mum says, “My breasts are very saggy as I breastfed both kids, and I have some wrinkles on my tummy, but I have a lot more appreciation for my body than I ever did as a young childless woman. Mummies rock!”

This is the body of a 48-year-old…

…who has an 8 month old and a 28 month old, both conceived after many years of IVF.

This mum had a baby almost 4 months ago. She says, “I’m still bigger than I was before I was pregnant but I’m so amazed at what my body can do. Every single stretch mark was so worthwhile and can’t wait to have more!”

This 25-year-old has had two children, both naturally…

…and these photos were taken 6 weeks after the birth of her youngest child.

This mum says, “This is me 2 years after having my first child… and I love everything about my body because I created life with it.”
