I thought my body was ruined forever.
To the first-postpartum me who looked in the mirror and saw only stretch marks, loose skin, and a stranger staring back… I remember you.
You felt hopeless, like the best version of you had disappeared with pregnancy, like confidence would mine again.
But here I am, you after three babies
and I’ve never felt stronger, freer, or more alive!
You found a way to move in your comfort zone.
At home, messy, slow, with babies by your side. And it was enough. Each small step rebuilt strength where there was shame, joy where there was despair. I am so proud of you, of us.
