Wow this is amazing to see how far along someone could carry triplets. I was pregnant with triplets but only made it to 24 weeks in my pregnancy before I had an emergency C-section to deliver. Unfortunately 2 of my babies didn’t make it. They were just too tiny but they are watching over their little brother from above. Anyways, despite how bad my body seem to be after the pregnancy, I didn’t really mind. All I could remember is when I held 3 beautiful little lives inside of me. And that is the best feeling in the world.

I believe it worth noting to your readers, that this website has been known to take images off of flickr and repost them without the permission of the individual(s) that may have taken that photo. I know this because a couple of shots I’d taken of my wife while she was pregnant were posted on their without my permission. To this day they are still on their despite the fact that I asked them to be removed.

You really Rock for posting this! I immediately had to share the link with all my friends... I think this can have a huge impact, especially for people who have body issues (read almost all of current American society) and a great way to normalize the beauty that each mother has.

Thank you for the link!

What a relief to finally see the reality of a woman’s body after birth! It is such a downer to constantly hear how such and such celebrity lost their baby weight 10 weeks after birth, or how they complain that their bodies aren’t the same when they’ve just given birth. We should celebrate all mother’s bodies and worry about nourishing and loving our children instead of how quickly we are allowed to start exercising after birth! I have sag in places that I never had it before, but I have two beautiful and healthy children and so my body is really my badge of honor!

I will never, ever complain about mine ever again.

I submitted my own pictures long ago when the site first started. It was very freeing and cathartic, and seeing other women who looked like me reminded me that it's not just my belly that bears memories of pregnancy-it's nearly every woman.
