The Shape of a Mother website

I wanted to share this if it hasn't been posted yet (or recently). It helped me get through my unhappiness with my PP body from my first child and I found myself searching for it again tonight. It's a website where women have provided pictures of their bodies and their "battlewounds" from their pregnancies. These are naked pictures. You have been warned!

OMG, thank you for this. I was actually in the middle of googling "Tummy tuck cost" when I saw this thread. Now I know I am not the only new mom who looks like this!

I've seen that site before! I forgot about it. When I looked last night, I noticed most of the posters are like 22 years old though- not quite the same as my 32 year old self with 2 c/s!

Yes this!

I have a love/hate relationship with that website. I love that it gives some realistic expectations of post-partum bodies but OMG did some of it scare the crap out of me while I was PG.

you're welcome! Some of the stories and pictures make you feel so much more grateful about your own circumstance.

To the older ladies, you might want to look at thte VBAC area since they've had 2 kids and tend to be older.

Incog: you're right. I'm glad I didn't see this before I had kids! 

Did anyone see the large incisions for csections for multiples? I had no idea.
