Popsugar Family Instagram Style Blogger's Thoughts on Her Postpartum Body At 1 Month Postpartum, This Hilarious Style Blogger Has a Lot to Say About Her Body February 27, 2017 by Alessia Santoro View On One Page Photo 2 of 7 ADVERTISEMENT () Start Slideshow Today marks 2 weeks since labour day 🎊 moms...internet aunties...and anyone that gets emotional over just about anything, lil Zen lost his belly cord stump/nub today 😩 as gross as that lil thing was, you sure do miss it when it's gone...especially when it falls off when you're asleep and your husband discards of it without thinking that you may just want to say goodbye to it first 😂...or have it framed 👀 or is that just me 😳 jkjk ...anyway!! he's practically a grown up now 😆 Now to the bump pics! This is 2 weeks post C-section with my 9lb baby...I was 196lbs at delivery and now I'm about 20 lbs down ( I'm not really big on scales but I checked for sake of this post ) and breastfeeding has been my main source of any kind of effort that may contribute to weight loss, in addition to labour of course ( you have to get mad specific on IG sometimes lol ) weight loss is not my priority, I'm just documenting the facts because this transformation is pretty interesting for a first time mom 🤓 I have to repeat , I'm not in any rush to get a flat tummy overnight, I'm really enjoying the gradual changes as it's all pretty fascinating to me ...and honestly, I think the slow shrinking belly is much more forgiving on my skin. I just want to remind people just how different we all are and to embrace it! some women " bounce back " immediately, others take a longer time, and many factors contribute to this. Just as I may have a lingering belly, and lingering preggo acne...I haven't experienced any stretch marks for my pregnancy. I didn't use any creams religiously etc, in fact I was pretty lazy in that department...I do believe it's mostly genetics and just another example of how different we all are. No need to feel badly if your results aren't the same as someone else, and never believe that anyone has everything "easy" ..we all have our different struggles, but your outlook can make a world of difference ☺️ so while I play connect the dots with my preggo acne and patty cake with my lil belly, please know that I feel great in my skin even on the days that I don't recognize myself 👹 mom life is so much fun! So glad to be a part of the tribe✊🏽 A post shared by ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀Charmaine Daudu💋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (@charmsie) on Feb 9, 2017 at 6:42pm PST Share This Link Copy ← Use Arrow Keys → 2 Previous Next Start Slideshow InstagramFamily Self-CarePostpartumMotherhoodPostpartum Bodies
