my body after 1st pregnancy

Your body tells a story now — softer at the hips, fuller in the chest, skin that carries the quiet evidence of what it built and survived. There's a weight to you that wasn't there before, grounded and certain.

Stretch marks trace your lower belly like topography, silver against warm skin. Your breasts are heavier, nipples darker. You stand differently — less apologetic, more occupied in your own flesh.

This isn't before-and-after. This is arrival. The body in this frame knows something it didn't twelve months ago, and that knowledge sits visibly, unapologetically, in every curve.
