What a beautiful article, a similar story to my own, I was pregnant at 18 and looked down upon by many and then lifted up by others. Now married for 11years and 3 babies. I used to be very uncomfortable with how my body changed. Before my babies I had an almost perfect body, I really did… And then at about 20 weeks the stretch marks came and they were deep and horrible and everywhere.. I tried for many years after the birth of my 2 older kids to get rid of them, and nothing worked of course..
Then many years later with me and my husband wanted a third child.. And oh how badly I wanted it, don’t get me wrong I was so happy with 2 babies I was already blessed with but this infertility thing was very heartbreaking. When I finally did fall preganant, I was over the moon and embraced every change in my body, i even went as far as saying she made my body beautiful again..
