The way she is comfortable with her body makes me comfortable 🤩🤩🤩
Yeeeesssss i love the realness of this!!!
Me too!😍😍
Omg thank you for so many sweet messages already! 🥺💕 My mom always told me she wished she had someone to look up to when she was going through her postpartum experience and I would love to be that person for you!! Keep reminding yourself how incredible the human body is! It was a home for your child and you are so beautiful no matter how your recovery is going nor how long it takes. Love yourself as much as I love you!! 💕💕💕
You are such an inspiration Alex!!!💖 so beautiful
So real and inspiring ❤️ thank god there is someone like you sharing honestly and taking the pressure off other new mums X
Love how honest and real you are ❤️ you are such a beautiful person 🙈😍
you being real and honest is amazing for the next women
You’re so inspiring, I love your mentality and how real you keep it ! I love it you are officially my favorite person ever ! I had a baby 9 months ago and I always had to keep reminding myself it’s okay to not look the same way as before! And now we’re having another baby ! And at first it freaked me out so much cause I hadn’t lost my first baby weight but now I am more comfortable and you just keep inspiring me ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙂🙂🙂🙂
I love this natural honest and raw beautiful depiction of a women’s true body after a baby, so proud of you for sharing to so many women and I’m crazy happy for you and the family on the birth of Arkham 💙 sending lots of love xx
Yes! She looks stunning. Its so good to see women loving and sharing how they look after having a baby. Since it's not openly shared or seen, women feel abnormal or conscious as if they need to get to quickly shrink. Love and nourish your body after this process. Our bodies are so magical and beautiful for everything they let us do.
You’re beautiful. Just wanna tell you that. I paused the video when you show your postpartum belly and all I could think is how beautiful, brave, strong, and powerful you truly are. Congratulations on your family, you did a really phenomenal job bringing your son into the world.
I haven’t even had kids and I’m covered in stretch marks. It’s so crazy how our bodies work! Thank you for being such a great role model Alex 🥺💛
Me too
Don’t worry hun, I actually got more stretch marks during puberty than during both of my pregnancies combined. 🤷🏻♀️
Same
Your positivity is so inspirational, even for someone like me who doesn’t have children and just struggles with body image. ♥️♥️♥️
You are so unbelievably gorgeous! I love the fact that you're so real (as well with the stretch marks). So beautiful
Well she photoshoped them on instagram..
@@strawberry5564 may I ask what the point of saying this is?
@@strawberry5564 maybe it makes her feel more confident, and it doesn't matter tbh
Alex: your experience is not my experience
Me: not having a baby any time soon
👁👄👁
Hahahahaha
Same lol
This is the epitome of what TH-cam SHOULD be!!!! like the honesty 🤍🤍 loving every minute of it
Agreed!
You’ve been unbelievably honest and genuine. It’s so nice to see a TH-cam/Instagram model be real. I Stan for this. And thank you for sharing. Thank you! You look incredible!
Your positivity just radiates. Thank you also for being so transparent and honest about everything! This helps me a lot
It should be very normal to talk and show our real bodies especially after a major events and changes such a pregnancy yet we like to put filters on a photo-shop everything. It is so nice to see someone being so honest and normal and most importantly real! Never stop doing that Alex :)
Our original due dates were one day apart I followed your pregnancy because we were so close in everything and it was amazing to see someone who is going through the same thing . I gained the same amount of weight and felt horrible about myself . Thank you for showing me it is okay to take my time with this . I have a lot more cellulite stretch marks and everything than you do . But your videos are amazing much love
You deserve a large bouquet of flowers and a hug for being so lovingly honest. My body looks very similar to yours right now and I didn't have a baby. So to see that you are genuinely accepting your body and thanking it for being so amazing is very healing for me. I hope you continue to catch yourself comparing to others and telling yourself how incredible your body is! We rarely see this kind of honesty and positive role modeling on the internet. Thank you, Alex!
Due my first baby in 3 weeks and I feel so so much more relaxed seeing how confident and kind you are to yourself 💙 it's a great reminder to be kind to your body for all the amazing work it's done growing life!
Congrats mama!!!
I got super emotional, because of how positive you are about your body, recovery and the entire journey of becoming a mom. It's such a beautiful thing❤️
I'm six months postpartum with my first, a boy too 💕 I also had a c-section and I'm probably most insecure about my scar. It's not big, it's thin and pretty small but it's really dark and kind of raised. I just try to remember my baby entered the world through that scar and I feel a little better. Proud of your approach to post partum and I appreciate your honesty!
I had a emergency c section too, I ysed to feel the same way as you. I still have my little flabby bit a s its been 7yrs lol but i brought life into the world so it's worth it!
Omg I adored this video! Fellow Fabletics ambassador here...six months preggo & found your channel through Instagram! You’re wonderful & so real! 💚💚💚
Omg love this
Omg legends supporting legends 💚💚💚
The outlook you have for all the changes during pregnancy and your postpartum body is what new moms should ASPIRE to be. The world needs this realness.
That boob talk 😂 laughed so hard on this
Really appreciate your honesty as nothing scares me more than getting pregnent and your videos kind of make me feel like I could do it
I`ve never commented on one of your videos but I`m watching you for years now and I feel liķe a proud friend watching you and your little family 💕 wishing you guys all the best!
love from germany(bavaria to be precise 😁)
Omg same. Nothing scares me more than the idea of getting pregnant and giving birth. Usually these kind of videos freak me out even more. Lol
Getting pregnant and giving birth was my biggest fear!! Dan and I would have serious talks about it because I used to tell him all the time I didn’t think I’d be able to do it. And then when I finally got pregnant, my mentality changed completely! And I’m soooooo glad I did it. I’m so proud of myself 🥺🤍
I'm on baby #3 (due in 2 weeks) and you look phenomenal. The body is so incredible in how it heals. The swelling/bloating and even a lot of the "extra" skin will go down in time. And good for you for not rushing it. A lot of people end up with loose skin because they rush to drop all of the weight right away and the skin didn't have time to gain its elasticity back. It's so good to see someone just enjoying their postpartum body and that time. 💛💛💛
thank you for continuously affirming that the way a woman's body is natural, fine, and on its own journey. i'm really encouraged by your confidence and i'm hoping that all the gals who watched this (including myself) can feel the way you do after you having a baby one day!
I just had my son almost 4 weeks ago and I put on about 70lbs during the whole pregnancy and as someone who already had weight issues, it was something that really upset me. I felt bad about myself and mad at myself that I let myself gain so much weight and this video really inspired me to be okay with where I am now and to understand that I have to be patient. I'd like to say I'm going to be nicer to myself about my body from here on out but it's hard for me. But after hearing your story and seeing your body positivity posts on Instagram/stories, I am going to try my best! Thank you! ❤
I am so glad you’re switching your mindset!! You are beautiful mama!!!
Christina, you just need to focus on what you can do now. I will be doing the same.. I have a 8 week old baby girl now and little by little our bodies will go back. Nobody should expect that we go from 9 months pregnant to a small size in weeks, that's crazy!! Your beautiful baby is worth it every pound😅🤗
The human body is so incredible. It amazes me what it can go through and bounce back from. Pregnancy is such a beautiful thing and luckily many female-bodied people enjoy it. Thank you for sharing your experience and showing your natural post-birth body and process. It’s so beautiful that our bodies can go through this!
Thank you so much for posting this video. I’m 5 months postpartum and have been struggling so much to be comfortable in my skin again. I gained about 25kgs and got stretch marks that cover my entire stomach and sides. All we see on social media are mums that bounce back almost immediately; which is amazing for them! But when it doesn’t happen to you, it’s hard. So thank you for being vulnerable and real so we can be the same xx
I have new sense of respect for you because of this. THANK YOU THANK YOU!! As a postpartum mother, a woman is healing from the biggest bodily change of her LIFE, why can't all women speak like this to themselves AND each other? why is it that other women are as hard on each other as they are? our bodies are so insane and so complex. Congratulations on your miracle of baby!
I'm appreciating how you have come into motherhood in such a peaceful way. You are accepting of your mom bod. You are absolutely beautiful and such an inspiration. Thank you❤
6 months postpartum here and I needed this SO BAD❤️ I had my first breakdown the other night about my weight, but after watching this I’m like “what the hell WHY?!” I brought a child into this world!! My body changed so so much too, not just my boobs and tummy, but my arms and legs everything grew!
I'm pregnant right now, not too far long but I am getting a bump! It's nice to see some realistic postpartum experiences. It's really hard on social media seeing someone give birth and have abs a week after and feeling pressure to be like that. Thank you for your honesty it really makes me feel more comfortable with my body.
I’m tearing up watching this. I’ve struggled so much with my body postpartum and your beauty and confidence is giving me LIFE. Thank you so much for being real, it’s incredibly valuable to moms like me. Xoxo ♥️
Teared up while watching this because such a big fear of mine for getting pregnant is the aftermath. I was scared I wouldn’t like my body after pregnancy but seeing how loved and supported you feel by Dan and how appreciative you are of your body is so incredibly encouraging and uplifting. Thank you for being so real with everything! I absolutely loved this video and needed it.
Usually never comment, but this video is beautiful. You are giving so many of us future-mamas out there a realistic expectations and with such a positive attitude.
I love how you aren’t rushing it get your “pre baby” body back. Your body took 9 maybe even 10 months or more to create life! There is no rush to get back to how you looked pre baby and who knows if that’s even possible but who cares you have a sweet little baby now!
I had a cesarean on May 7 and I hope you know you don’t owe this to anyone!! I applaud you for being SO confident and able to do this, as I have a hard time coping with my post partum body. Never feel that you have to explain yourself 💗 but thank you for being vulnerable and sharing. The honesty is refreshing and encouraging for me
Thank you for being SO REAL! I was very lucky to have a very easy postpartum experience thus far (my guy is 4 and a half months now!) but of course my body has changed SO MUCH and will never be the same. I totally agree with your mindset of remembering you just grew a human and focusing on them instead of getting your body “back” (ugh I hate that phrase). Especially since you’re breastfeeding which is HARD but incredible! I’ve taken up the mindset that as long as I’m breastfeeding, I’m not going to worry about my weight - I need to eat enough to make the food to keep my baby healthy and growing strong. It’s so amazing that you’ve taken such a positive public stance on loving yourself through post partum. Thank you!
The way you’re talking about your body and how comfortable you are,it helps me so much. I’m slowly starting to like myself because I’m on a diet working with a professional dietitian so she listens to me and helps my body. I’m losing my weight (even though I was at a “normal” weight I always felt so insecure) and you’re always so confident and calm regarding your body and you’re literally one of the 10 influencers I follow because you’re such a great person and a great influence 💕💕💕 I’ve been a fan since 2014 and I’m just so happy I found your channel when I was a teenager. You’ve helped me so much 💕
The gentle, respectful way that you treat your body pp is so beautiful. Thank you for being a healthy role model for new mamas & cutting through all of the noise telling us we need to 'get our body back.' You're doing amazing!
your happiness and level of being comfortable in your own body makes me SO HAPPY right now! this video is so incredibly positive. i love it! i'm by no means planning on having a baby any time soon but i'm sure this video helps so many girls despite the fact they might not have a baby or be pregnant rn. it just shows such a bodypositive, honest way of viewing your own body, which is definitely something we all should be doing much more!! ❤️
You have always reassembled body positivity for me and you have always been a motivation for my fitness and body journey. And nothing has changed. Your body is beautiful and I admire everything you are showing and standing up for ❤️ I see you as a beautiful role model no matter what. Thank you 🙏🏼 love you and can’t tell you how much I am in live with Arkham and your beautiful new family 🥰
I gained so much with my first, never took it all off. Now pregnant with my second and seeing someone like you talk about your body makes me feel okay that mine didn’t go back to the before, and maybe never will!
I think this is so important to show. I am so happy that we as woman are being more open and honest about our bodies. You look beautiful and happy and glowing. Thank you for doing this 💕
You're amazing 😍 I just had my baby 5 days ago and it's so nice to have someone who feels the same about their body. So many people want to "snap back" but our bodies spent 9 months growing these tiny humans, they've worked hard, it's only right we give them as long as they need to recover! 💕💕
I love your honesty & how unfiltered you are. I’ve been so intimidated thinking about having children and living up to the standards that some influencers have set postpartum. (No offense to them at all!) I’ve been watching you for 5 years and growing up “with you” has been a treat! 💗
I absolutely love your positivity .. my baby is 8 weeks old and some days it’s so hard to tell myself i literally made a human don’t be so hard on myself .
your confidence and genuine love for your body is literally so beautiful and I've never seen a video like this show the real/raw postpartum experience. you are going to be the best mom!
I love how honest and chill you are about your body's changes. Such a great attitude. I developed alot of stretch marks at 14/15 when I went through puberty and when from gangly to only a tiny bit curvy, and resented my skin for it for a long time. Great to see someone who is so chill about stretch marks.
I love that you are so raw and real. Most moms need somebody like you who is willing to share the things that most people don’t share about postpartum. Everyone’s body is different and everyone recovers differently and I am so happy that you are sharing your experience with so many people! The miracle of pregnancy and childbirth is amazing and the fact that our bodies are capable of such things is such a blessing. Again, thank you for sharing and being real!
Your attitude and positivity is ASTRONOMICAL 🥰 I mean.. I’ve had 4 babies & my body is still not what it was, part of that is bc I got lazy but I’m just now after 5 years of having my last baby getting back into myself and I was never so easy on myself and your such an inspiration 🤍🤍 thank you thank you! All women should have your attitude!
Wow! This is what I’ve been looking for. This kind of inspiration. I won’t lie, I’m crying. Ugly crying because this is what Ive been wanting to hear. That body changes are okay. Wow. Wow. Wow. And I’m not even a mom or pregnant at the moment. This is what I want. This positivism and self love and feel comfortable with myself. Wow wow wow wow. Alex is such an inspiration. I want to be like you when I am a mom.
You are so strong and confident! I love that you’re not rushing for the postpartum body! It’s nice to see something real, you’re beautiful and perfect just the way you are! Spend time with that baby Arkie, he is so cute!!!!
Alex I just wanted to say that you look so beautiful and you are absolutely radiating in your postpartum body! I love your mantra about allowing yourself to heal and I think it’s a really important message since a lot of other influencers focus more on “getting their abs back”. Love you! ❤️
I love how open and honest you've been about your journey and showing that your body is beautiful ESPECIALLY because it made a baby! Such a powerful role model
I just wanted to say that I’m about to give birth to my first baby and I’ve been seriously so beyond sad that I’ve gotten a few stretch marks and I’ve gained weight. I just have felt like my body is so different and it’s sad. After seeing this I do feel so much better. Your right, it’s so important to tell ourselves that we grew a BABY. A HUMAN BEING inside our body, of course it’s gonna change and how freaking badass are we for doing it! Thank you for helping me change my mindset ❤️
You’re body positivity and honesty is incredible! It’s so refreshing to hear someone love on their figure and be so gentle/kind to themselves. Keep shinning your light momma!💕
THANK YOU FOR THIS. I’m sooo glad I’m not to far behind you in this motherhood journey (I’m 5wpp) and boy I’ve been struggling with it all! Especially my body and flabby stomach. But you’re so freaking right, we just built a whole human and birthed them into this crazy world we’re living in. We’re rockstars and we deserve the time and space to heal our bodies and enjoy our babies. Please PLEASE continue with the postpartum updates. It really helps us first time mommas out here not feel so lonely. 💗
This honestly is what I needed to hear today and everyday. I gave birth on February 26th to my beautiful baby girl, Aurora, and I gained a lot of extra stretch marks all over my stomach and I still have flabby skin, even with me being almost 4 months postpartum. I needed to hear your inspiring words of confidence, and also realize how amazing a woman’s body is to give birth to a little human being and also create food for them as well. You’re an amazing person and mama, Alex! Thank you for being such an inspiration to many women and mamas! God bless you and your precious family. 🙏🏼🤍
I gave birth early we actually had the same due date but my water broke on my bday March 9th it was def a way to wake up it was such an amazing experience to give birth women are true warriors:) I struggled in the beginning with body image bc I'm naturally thinner so I assumed my stomach would go back to being flat but def obviously not how it works I had to constantly remind myself I made a human being be kind to myself started doing some light pelvic exercises once got the okay by my dr and I fit into my Jean's again but what I'm getting at is we have to truly remember it takes 9months to make a baby we aren't gonna look like our pre baby days in less time..loved how honest and real you were in this video
You are so smart! You do not have to compare yourself and giving yourself time and grace is what all new moms need! Keep up the good attitude!
You are such a fantastic role model for both young girls and women! I am currently 32 weeks pregnant and initially struggled with the body changes but trying to embrace them now and focus on growing a healthy baby!
I'm so in awe of you!! You deserve to be so incredibly proud of yourself. It's so important for anyone going through pregnancy or is postpartum to see how different the postpartum experience is for every single woman and to never, ever sell yourself short while your has also just shown you how amazing and powerful it truly is!! So happy for you and your little family :) much love
I am thinking more and more about parenthood and you're here, like a big sister, being honest and experiencing and documenting it all, you're the best Alex ❤
I am so so proud to be a subscriber of yours. I literally was crying happy tears. As a mom of 2 young boys, I am so thankful for influencers like you. You’re amazing. Period. So happy for you!
This is amazing! I’m so so honoured you felt comfortable enough to share this with us! I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant, and I’ll admit I do worry about my body afterwards, but positivity is the key, and remembering I will heal and the change is good helps! In a sense, it helps me be more confident. I’m hoping I don’t feel too down about myself post part I’m, but that’s just the perk of loving yourself, that no matter what you can find the good and the good outweighs the “bad” that helps me keep going! Btw, have you ever heard of diastatis recti? I’ve heard it’s a huge reason for many mamas feel like they’re not fully healing or having a “mom pouch” but there are ways to get rid of it.
I can't begin to explain how much I needed this... I've been SO down about my PP body to the point where I'm crying daily and it's ruining my time with my baby (which I'm ashamed to say) but hearing the positive way you speak about your body is the light I needed right now
i admire how honest you are with your postpartum update
This is the type of video I needed when I gave birth 5 years ago via emergency c-section. I was 21 & my body changed so much. I had severe PPD/PPA & it was so hard on me. Thank you for being real & accepting of your healing & body. Every where I looked was how easily everyone “snapped back” I am now expecting my 2nd baby in August & this video helps remind me that postpartum bodies are normal & okay & beautiful too 💛
I first found you through your infamous hair pictures YEARS ago!! Alex, thank you so much for being so real about all of this. Im not pregnant, but I definitely hope to have children one day and have all the worries or questions other women wonder as well. Its so incredible what our bodies can do, and showing the realness that is childbirth and postpartum is just so helpful!! sending love to your beautiful family!! 💗
Thank you for being so raw and honest sharing how your recovery is going! It's so refreshing for me to see other mamas who's bodies look like mine. I had my second little one 9 months ago and my body has changed so much but I'm SO proud of it! It's gotten me through recovering from an ED, 2 miscarriages, and 2 severe HG pregnancies, I'm so proud of every stretch mark and bit of extra skin. Also, yay for Fabletics for sponsoring such a raw and real video! I'll definitely be checking them out 😍
Ahhh I'm dying at the boob talk 😂 this is my second round of breastfeeding and the boob changes are REAL
Ugh this just makes me so happy. Your attitude toward childbirth and your body just helps me so much. I’m 30w5d pregnant and my pregnancy was not planned and even though I’m very tiny for how far along I am, I still struggle a lot with my body. This helped me a lot!
Went through and watched the whole Pregnancy Playlist! Currently 16+3 and due in June! Love these videos!
I had a similar body type to you before pregnancy and have a similar body to you now after having two babies and your admiration for what your body could do inspires me so much! I definitely felt that admiration for my body too despite looking different it’s an amazing feeling. Sometimes I get discouraged so this video helped me get back in that mindset ❤️
Love your honesty! My bra size went up two sizes and I hate it. You have the best attitude and talking openly on all this is so important! You are a great role model.
I just wanted to say that healing from a c-section takes much longer than a vaginal birth (I've had both) and you are honestly looking fabulous and seem to be bouncing back very well!! Your positive mindset is definitely your biggest asset for sure and will help you through the new Mom insecurities. You genuinely seem ecstatically happy, which also helps through the rough patches!❤
Seeing your journey as a mama is so surreal considering I’ve been watching your videos since I was 14, five years later and I still love your content!
Omg ily 🥺🤍
Omg I love YOU!!
you’re so beautiful and your confidence is inspiring. We need more people like you on social media! 🤍
Alex, you are going to get so much appreciation/support for being this real. If only all TH-camrs could be this honest.
I’d love to see postpartum updates, and also when they eventually happen, some milestone updates with Arkham! Like rolling over, tummy time, touching toes, eventually crawling and stuff like that! Of course, only share what you’re comfortable sharing, but I’m so excited and happy for you and your family!
You’re an amazing role model! So happy to see you and Arkham doing well💕
wow, i’m not planning on having a baby for a while but this video comforted me in ways i didn’t even know i needed. you have such a sweet soul, thank you for this 🥺🤍
This made me cry. Alex you’re so beautiful and radiant inside out. I wish one day I’ll reach the level of self love you have
I LOOVE your positivity! Thank you for sharing such a beautiful perspective on postpartum bodies. I can't explain what this means to me.
Watching this while pumping! I had my baby boy just three weeks before you and had an emergency c section. Everyone’s journey in motherhood is different but every story is beautiful. You’re beautiful for sharing with us and I’ve loved following along with your pregnancy. Cheers to being new moms :)
I’m a FTM and I had a cesarean two weeks after you actually! My birth story is almost the same as yours as well! I’m almost 5 weeks pp. you look great and think you’re so strong for not letting the negative thoughts overcome you. Postpartum baby blues can be such a dark space mentally. Thanks for sharing your story!
This is the best video. I was cracking up at certain points but I think it’s so beautiful how confident you are with your body. I hope to be like that someday. You are an inspiration!
You look so happy and at peace with your body! It's just amazing how the female body can create live and change so much without loosing its beauty. Thank you for being so open about everything and sharing your thoughts on the postpartum body. I think its so important for every new mum to give their body the time it needs to recover and not to rush into some kind of marathon to get back in shape as fast as they can. You are definitely a role modle Alex ☺️❤️
You are so amazing, and I don’t say that lightly. This video is wonderful. I love that you say “that’s fine” and “that’s okay” to your changing body because you’re absolutely right - it is okay. You go girl, enjoy this time with your precious baby and worry about the rest later.
thank you so much for being so absolutely honest in this video and actually in general. There is so much more of your honesty and showing the reality needed on social media. Because usually all you get to see is unrealistic pictures of what you body is supposed to look like and it's actually hard not to compare yourself - so really good, that you were pointing this out from the beginning on. I really loved how you say that you didnt care what your body now looked like as long as you are healthy. Honestly, this is somthing we need so much more of on youtube and social media. Wishing you and your little family all the best
Would love to see updates on your postpartum journey and of course updates on Arkie as much as you feel comfortable sharing them! He's such a cute little nugget!
i’ve always been body conscious and tbh always dreaded pregnancy because of this. So seeing this and how comfortable and happy you are with your body is so relieving!!! love it! so glad you’re happy and glowing :’)
I absolutely love how transparent you are and your positivity! I am so happy that you are opening up the conversation about postpartum because I know it's definitely taboo for women to talk about pregnancy, labor/ delivery, postpartum, etc! You're doing awesome momma! Thank you for your experience! Keep it going :)
thank you for being so real, honest and confident. You inspire me
I have so much love for you and your family. ❤️ The way you talk about your body is so inspiring and something I know I can do better about with myself. Though I have never given birth and don’t plan on it for a while, I try really hard to take care of myself even through mental illness struggles and other invisible illness, and I can get so down on myself. But your positivity is contagious and throughout your pregnancy your positivity has pushed me to say “you know what? You’re doing your best, your body is doing it’s best, it needs you to accept it and appreciate it.” And lately, more days than not I’ve been able to say that. And it makes me so happy to see you so happy, I’ve been following you for so many years and I love getting to be a part of your journey through your videos!
Thanks Alex for being raw. I just had my 3rd baby almost 2 weeks ago and it made me feel better to be reminded that our bodies heal differently.
This is a beautiful example of how to love yourself, keep a positive mindset en not put pressure on yourself after going through such an emotional experience! Have been pregnant myself, but will go back to this video when the day comes, you’re such an inspiration! 💗
You're so positive, Alex! And it shows very naturally on you. I'm not a mom and I'm not pregnant, but as someone who's always struggling with body images your way of seeing things is really inspiring. I wish you and your family the best, always
Thank you so much for this! I’m 39 weeks so I’ll be entering the postpartum phase any day now. It’s so nice to hear real and raw advice, and it’s especially nice to hear your positivity!!! 💕 I love how you talk about taking it easy on yourself and loving yourself for how incredible your body is to have made a human. We need more of that positivity. 🥰 P.s. You look BEAUTIFUL.
My stitches from my incision opened and it was the worst experience ever but so worth my baby boy💛 I’m so happy yours went smoothly! Arkie is super cute!
Thank you so so much Alex! This video actually gave me a lot lore confidence for when my husband and I do start trying for a baby. It’s nice when someone takes time out of their day to make a video explaining the reality of it. Love you and congrats to you and dan being parents!
I’m currently 32 weeks pregnant and I’ve gained so much weight after having lost 35 pounds in the past and it really makes me uncomfortable but watching your video makes me feel better and I know that I’m not the only one and that like you said we’ll get that weight off eventually 🙏😊God bless you and your fam :)
I've been following you since a long time ago, and I can truly say that I admire you more every single year. You are so real, natural, nice and lovely. Thanks for doing what you do and for being you.
