- Meghan's Blog

Welcome to my mommy blog! As a mom of 2 young boys, I have quickly learned that there is no perfect way to be a mother. This blog is for moms who need support, guidance and reassurance that they are doing a great job! I am so excited to share my journey with you all!

I wanted to share my postpartum photos to show you

I wanted to share my postpartum photos to show you all how AMAZING womens bodies are!!

My body was a home to my little guy for 9 whole months...so friggin cool! I am so damn proud of what my body has been through and that it has been able to house and birth my 2 healthy, beautiful baby boys.

I got told the other day that I look "amazing" for having a baby a month ago and then they proceeded to ask "do you eat?!" While I was flattered by this comment, my goal is not to look as though I have "bounced back". I have extra weight, wider hips and thicker thighs than I did prior to having my boys but I wouldn't trade any of it for the world.

I want to get back to feeling good in my body because that's what matters most but for now I am going to enjoy my boys and be thankful that I have my health and a loving and supportive family🤍🤍

Every woman's postpartum journey looks very different so we shouldn't compare our bodies to others. Be PROUD of your body and be KIND to yourself--extra skin and all because for every woman criticizing their postpartum body, there is another woman wishing she could be in your shoes💕

Taylor from 'Strength With Grayce Doula Services'

Taylor from 'Strength With Grayce Doula Services' is absolutely fantastic!!! She was so helpful leading up to the birth of our son, answering any and all questions I had and offering tons of tips and tricks for pregnancy and labour/delivery. She is very knowledgeable and made me feel so at ease going into labour and during my delivery.

She supported me my entire labour, rubbing my back and helping me through each contraction. I felt so calm and supported with her there. Once our son was born, she stayed for a couple hours to make sure myself and baby were comfy and fed!

She also checked in on us the day after he was born and a few times after that for the following two weeks until our final postpartum visit together.

Having this kind of support and encouragement during your labour and delivery is so special and is something I will cherish forever. I am SO thankful that I was able to have her present and would HIGHLY recommend her if you are considering a Doula for your birth. Thank you so much Taylor!! 💜

@todaysmoderndoula

▫️I will be doing a blog post in the upcoming weeks with my full Doula experience as well!

38.5 weeks pregnant and nearing the end of this pregnancy journey! 🤰

So incredibly blessed and thankful to have carried this little guy for 9 months💓

5 fun facts about this pregnancy:

1. I found out I was pregnant on Christmas Eve 2019. Best Christmas present ever.

2. I did not get any stretch marks with either of my pregnancies.

3. I have gained 16 pounds.

4. I didn't really have any serious cravings. I only craved foods I couldn't have lol (sushi and wine).

5. I was active the entire time except during the first trimester. I was so nauseous and weak/exhausted. It took everything I had just to get up and go to work. Once I felt better I resumed running and weight training!

Swipe to see just how incredible womens bodies are!! 💜
