A bump with no baby

❌I know some people feel really attached to their bump after they’ve lost a baby. Maybe because it feels like it’s all you’ve got left? I didn’t. To me it just felt useless, like it had let me down I guess, and I looked forward to it going.

👏🏻I feel like I’ve got a proper mum tum now. Not that I’ve done much to try and change it🤦🏻‍♀️But whenever I think I look a bit shit I remember that my body has actually had two children, and I am proud of that.

🤰🏻I’ve had many split seconds when Ive forgotten I’m not pregnant anymore. Even now, months after having Marty. I guess it’s because there is no baby here so my brain is like 🤔 I regularly go to lye on my stomach in bed and have a moment of ‘oh no, I can’t’ but yes…I can.

📸This photo was taken about two months after having Marty. I’m wearing a maternity dress (partly just because I liked it!) and holding Robyn’s baby boy, Pierre. The irony. Good job I was away or people would think I’d lost it…😉
