Beautiful Stretchmarks

I look at myself in the mirror and examine myself. My chin is becoming two. No more collar bones anymore. As I lift my blouse, there, I can see the line in the middle from my lower chest down straight to my belly. On both sides of my tummy, there are dark spots.

Stretchmarks. It’s unpleasant. I feel ugly.

I feel terrible at times because of the changes in me, mood swings, weight gain, constipation, heartburn, insomnia, and depression. But I also feel great. Being pregnant is not easy, yet it is rewarding.

I look at her and beam, a beam of satisfaction. My heart melts whenever I see her smile whenever she giggles. She knows me. I’m her mom. I realized that the changes in my body from pregnancy to present are evidence of a beautiful thing that happens in my life.

I don’t mind how ugly I would turn as long as my baby is happy and healthy. So I don’t care anymore. Being a mom is the best feeling ever. If I had known this earlier, I would have given birth younger.

From pregnancy struggles to the big day, to the sleepless nights, to motherhood is superb. Everything is beautiful, including my stretch marks.

Cheers to all mothers, new mommies, and mommies to be! Happy Mother’s Day! You did a great job.

To my mom, thank you for the push. I appreciate you even more, now that I became a mother. Thank you for all your sacrifices. I love you. Moms are the best.

36 Weeks Maternity Photoshoot

Last time, I shared my 23rd week Maternity PhotoShoot.

I just want to share some of the shots on my 36 weeks pregnancy. These are taken a week before the push. I managed to smile and show my yucky stretchmarks. HAHA

Special thanks to my two photographers : Valerie and Khate. 🙂 Thank you for this. It’s a good memory.

Stretch mark from pregnancy is a remembrance of a beautiful thing happened in my life.

“It is easy when you’re pregnant to spend hours dreaming about the little baby growing inside of you and wondering who in the world they will turn out to be.”
