“6 Months PO Best Thing I've Ever...”
I met with my ps today and he was amazing. Very patient and explained everything very well. I felt super comfortable right from the start. It was a little uncomfortable taking the photos.

When I was 19, I was 5'6" and weighed 110 lbs. When I turned 20, I had my first child, and while I loved being pregnant, my skin wasn't a huge fan of it.
