Honestly. I hate my body....but working on it....but I really love the reason for it being as bad as it is – Paula English I developed stretch marks from bum to boobs in my ninth month and for years have been so very conscious of them. Now, they are mine and part of me growing my daughter so I don't see them as much any more I just see me and I am proud of me. Insecure at times but who isn't – Sinead Lisa Clarke McKay Hate my body now, before I loved it, would wear dresses and skirts, now just baggy stuff, boobs feel different and didn't breast feed, thighs are ugly, lumps and bumps where it used to be flat, very self conscious, hate looking in the mirror, makes me miserable – Samantha Flynn I am finally coming to terms with it. I'm about half a stone off my pre pregnancy weight but I'm no where near back to my pre pregnancy body!! I never will be. I've let it go now though, I spent too long in my glorious sons first year thinking and getting fed up with my figure – Danielle O Connell I have a lot more respect for what my body can do now! – Laura Ryan I didn't care about stretch marks because I knew after having my first baby I'd never be a mam to wear belly tops or mini shorts. I think if you are happy and contented with yourself and family who cares what people think!!! – Catherine Cloke I don't care any more, it was the best thing to happen – Joanne O'sullivan I don't like my body but I loooovveee my boy! !! And that is all that matters – Rodica Sandescu I didn't know (what) to expect after I had my baby . I'd heard so many stories of yer body will never be the same nothing will be !! And yes I have stretch marks and extra fat on belly that I never had before but I also have a gorgeous girl who makes it all worth it I am determined to get my figure back and yes I know it will never be the exact same as before but neither am I – Lisa Hamill 4 kids in 4 years including twins. Not 1 stretch mark and no weight gain. Everybody's different.... 42 having the last... Enjoy ur life and body, it was never perfect to begin with and ur other half doesn't care!! – Karen Woods I hate my tummy and hate I'm the biggest I've been in my life. I know some people would say others are a lot bigger and would be happy to be my size, but I hate trying to dress to hide my tummy now – Rose Finnerty I think it's in the Genes. My mam had six and not one stretch mark, neither of my sisters got them and despite being the size of Octomum on Max I don't have any! – Catherine Killeen Baker No stretch marks so far after two kids. Happy with my body, no exercises, no diets – Edita Buneviciene I once had fab boobs, so nice I was asked were they fake. They were big and pert, roll on breastfeeding two babies and my boobs are just a memory. But I wouldn't change a thing and I would do it all again tomorrow – Catherine Killeen BakerMain image via TakeBackPostPartum Instagram
