Im 7 months along and already my body feels so different, hips wider and all. I keep wondering will it stay like this even after delivery or does it slowly go back? Mums who already had babies pls share how it was for u.
Yes it does change, and I wont lie, it took me a while to make peace with it. Softer belly, wider hips, some stretch marks, all of it. But honestly this body grew a whole human, I try to look at it with kindness now, and you should too.
Looking back, a lot of it settled over the first year more than I expected. Some things changed for good, some came back close to normal. Be patient with yourself, your body did something incredible and it adjusts in its own time.
After my C-section I had the scar and a bit of a pouch that took months to soften. Healing was slow but real. Give your body grace, it went through major surgery and still cared for your baby.
I totally understand this worry, I had it too. Yes the body changes, but it tells the story of bringing your baby into the world. Be gentle with yourself, you are beautiful through all of it.
