First Postpartum Style in a non maternity dress and trying out how it looks like with the post baby belly and how I made it work. It has always been a struggle for me to look and feel good after having a baby. I am not gifted with a body who only grows their belly and maintain the size of the other body parts. In this pregnancy, I gained about 37 lbs so I know my body really changed a lot and I gained so many inches on all of my extremities and also still have that post baby belly.
So I got this dress here before I gave birth hoping it will fit good. I tried it on and honestly it really did not zip good at the back. This dress is not stretchy at all so I did not have a room for the excess inches as I ordered my usual medium size.
But I was able to make it work by adding a safety pin at the back. I will still keep this dress as I know in few weeks time my belly will shrink and will be able to wear this good. Another reason why I am keeping this is the color is perfect for a Fall dress. We are closely transitioning to Fall in few weeks time so I made sure I am investing in something I can wear longer.
So for all the mamas out there like me who struggle with post baby belly. You are not alone and it is normal to have them. Let us all give our body time to recover as we carry our precious baby for 9 months and it was not a joke. I also understand we wanted to look and feel good. We can all make it work right? I also do miss my pregnant belly sometimes as I thought about this dress I posted here.
I hope I was able to give some inspiration to all of you here. Thank you for stopping by. I know I have been MIA for a while doing blog post as being a Full time employee by day and being a mom of 3 and wife takes a lot of my time so trying to insert some time to make this blog post. I still want to keep this other passion of mine.
See you again next time.
Simply,
Christianne
