Nearly 29 years ago, my mom would joke that my sister and I stole her boobs after breastfeeding. She’d constantly remind us that we “ruined” them—me most of all. I laughed it off then, but I now see the impact pregnancy and motherhood has on a person’s body. As a new mom, I’m learning to embrace the physical changes because they represent the beautiful journey of motherhood. Despite the exhaustion and challenges, I know becoming a mom is still the best part of my story.
