Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
Body changes during pregnancy should be a point of pride, instead of making it something a woman should be ashamed of!
Dusted off the mirror
blameless in the corner of my room,
my body once so svelte,
now, the slumped bosom, the corpulence,
but no signs of embarrassment
upon my swollen countenance,
in the realm of motherhood,
broken shackles of pulchritude
hang from the walls,
my mothering body,
the greatest miracle of all!
