The fact that people actually say that her body is gross after GIVING BIRTH is so disgusting! I've met Colleen and she is the most sweetest woman that really wouldn't hurt a fly. Colleen is so brave and i am sure that she is now an amazing mother, Flynn is so lucky. Keep powering on, Colleen. you are so strong. On behalf of your fans, we love you so much!!!!! xxx
Katelyn Lal ...goodness! Who said that her postpartum body is disgusting? Luckily I’ve not seen any of those comments. Most I’ve seen say she looks better with a bit more weight.
I love how realistic she is by showing us what pregnancy really does to you, because the most you see is a “perfect” unrealistic body after giving birth to a child. Props to you Colleen.
Does anyone else think that Colleen looks so much more healthy since she’s been pregnant?? Like her face looks a lot fuller and even tho she’s shown that she’s put on weight I think she’s more gorgeous than ever!!
When she began to talk about women’s bodies after pregnancy and she brought up the fact that some women’s stomachs don’t go back to their original size made me smile. It’s true women are pressured to be thin or “in shape” even if they just did something beautiful. My mother still has extra skin and stretch marks she also still has a bigger stomach but it’s ok because she did something beautiful. Women may look thin in magazines or television or whatever and may be told they are beautiful and that’s true. But being bigger or being bigger because of pregnancy is something that a model can not recreate. I love you Colleen remember that we are here for you. And that we support you😘😘
I think many women try to keep information away from young women about pregnancy because they know how unappealing it is. I’m 32 and I honestly didn’t know half the shit you’re sharing so thank you 😊
I had just turned 20 when I went through a full pregnancy. Unfortunately mine went drastically wrong in the finally week and while in labour, so I'm always afraid to talk about how my pregnancy, labour and recovery went. It can go sideways in so many different wsys, but then other women sail through the whole thing!
Iv’e been watching you for 2 years and honestly this is the most stunning I’ve ever seen you Colleen. No make up, stretched belly and all. Keep being superhuman. Women rock.
That belly is still going to shrink so much in the next few weeks.. it took 9 months for your body to grow and change to grow our babies .. it takes time for our bodies to shrink back... trust me.. that belly is gonna keep on shrinking... ive had 3 babies.. each time my body took different amounts of time to go back to its new normal. Ps you look hot to me.. hotter then ever xxo
Danielle Harper yeah, mine took about a year to be normal. I’ve had 4 kids and nursed all. My body took 6-12 months to go back to normal ( or as normal as can be lol )
It's so rare to see women be open and honest about recovery after being pregnant and giving birth, I love that you are being raw and real about everything! It's so refreshing to be given this perspective as it's not talked about a whole lot. You are doing amazing!!!
I’m so thankful for how open you are being about your body since giving birth to Flynn, there is a lot that people don’t talk about when it come to being pregnant/giving birth so I love that you’re educating thousands of girls on the reality of it all. Thank you!!
I feel like Flynn couldn’t be in better hands, I am so happy for him to have parents like y’all! Flynn is going to be just a pure sweetheart I can already tell!
I've always wondered what happens to the woman body after giving birth, so thank you for educating us because its not talked about, thank you for being real.
Super sassy cats cool vids Online yes it really hurts. When I’m in pain, I now use it as a measurement to measure all pain against. But I’d do it again tomorrow. Hands down, the best thing I ever did.
I’m happy that you tell us the TMI stuff and show us your belly. So we know what to expect and don’t expect pregnancy to be so easy. THANK YOU COLLEEN!! ♥️😘
Same! God bless always! Always praying for all! Happy a Merry Christmas! Hope you had a amazing day! Remember your always loved! #GodBlessYallAll#GodSavesAndLovesAll#HeIsReallyAllThatMatters#JesusSavesHeIsOurSaviorAndWillSaveYouFromHellLiksHeSavedMeDmMeToLearnHowToGoToHeavsn😭😭😘😘😄😄😭😘❤️🙌🙌🙌🙌
I love that you showed your postpartum body - it's so important to celebrate what our bodies can do! Also, ps. footprints are 100x easier with little ones than handprints!
She’s not celebrating it she’s just showing it, it’s nothing to celebrate, she workedout and ate healthy to loose the extra weight now her body is back to normal, her hard work to loose the weight that resulted in her achieving the goal to get her body back is what needs to be celebrated.
ok Colleen 1) you say you don't look good but truthfully I think you are the most radiant you've ever looked. It's like a natural glow of genuine happiness and I love it 2) you and Erik should make a series covering songs it would be so cute thank u, next
I love how Colleen is so truthful and instead of hating her body she thanks herself for making something so amazing! It’s just very inspiring ... Thankyou Colleen!!!!
xKristineMariex I’ve never really gotten why girls get insecure when pregnant I mean you’re carrying another human. Also I love this saying so helpful!
I’m so glad Colleen has been so real with us. Like she’s said a bunch of times, there’s such a pressure for women to have the “ideal” pregnancy, and how the “ideal” woman’s body should look, and she’s just been so honest. And that not only takes a lot of courage being so open and vulnerable, but also idk if she realizes just how educational and inspirational she’s being. So glad everyone is good and healthy!
* people use the term real as in “realistic”. It is POSSIBLE to be the super skinny right after birth “model body” Mom, but maybe not realistic for the majority of women. It is not a realistic expectation for women to be back to prepregnancy weight after 6 weeks, even though some women are. Stop trying to make an issue where there isn’t one. We all knew what she meant.
I love how open and honest you are about pregnancy and birth. I was miserable just like you. My body has never been perfect and it still isn't. To much is put on women to be perfect. Colleen you are beautiful. BTW, my son is 14 and my inner belly button never completely went back.
According to my mom after seeing my grandma and my great grandma, is to rest for 40 days after giving birth.. in my country, normally your mom or your sister take care of everything during that period.. and ur body will comeback like it was.. the key is to rest.. but seeing the modern world and how it works its so hard to take a rest that long.
Moo Lova what about the dad and grandfather do they just sit around and do nothing lol? I swear women do everything and men just sit around being useless.
You, my love, are a positive TRUELY POSITIVE!!!!!!! role model for everyone who watches ! You are so realistic and honest about your post-pregnancy body and the possibilities. Congrats on becoming a momma. It's the greatest gift from life (if being a mom is what the person wants !!) I had a csection at 27 weeks because my girl was struggling to breath and my csection scar, I am proud of!!
So glad someone with a large following has such a positive attitude to post partum bodies. It took me a while to accept mine and is still a struggle 3 years on x
Please don’t stop vlogging even if it’s the same thing everyday! I love watching you transition in a mom and you guys figuring things out. I need the cuteness in my life 😍
Thank you so much for being so raw and real and sharing everything you’re going through. I hope to have kids one day, and it is so refreshing to not just hear and see all the fantasticness that comes with having kids, especially from a mother’s perspective. PS: no idea how you are able to film and edit and post every day as a new mom. You’re Super Woman. I’m convinced.
Cooking Lessons for Dad absolutely, when I had my son I was shocked that I didn’t snap straight back in shape. Refreshing for someone to show the reality.
I love how you are documenting all of you’re experiences while being pregnant and then not and how you look and I just think that you are a very strong powerful person for being able to show us your body even when it’s not like it was before. I look up to you!! Also Flynn is so adorable
Please do a video about the reality and pain of labor and birth, like what you expected and the reality. Of all people, I think you would be the most real and it would be a really cool, informative video
I didn't really start following you until you got pregnant, and I just want to say that I admire you so much. I love how raw and real you are about everything, and I think you are so strong for being able to get through all this and still be sane. Even when you were miserable and huge you were still able to be funny and I think that is fantastic. You just seem like someone who is able to really bring light into a room by just being there
@@astridpaulinasanchezcantu1654 YES! Though if you are carrying a life inside you, especially, take care of your body, and be extra careful of what you put inside it! The whole "eating for two" thing is false, and you cannot just eat whatever you want. Just be careful, while also feeling beautiful no matter the skin you're in, and no matter your size!
1. I'm so happy you're being open about this experience. It's super important people see the real side of what actually happens. Women being pressured to feel they need to lose weight right away IS preposterous. Everybody's body is different. Everything you said was so perfect. Thank you. 2. Flynn is amazingly cute! 3. Wow you have such a cool and beautiful singing voice! Great job!!
You've probably heard this before but just in case, what helps keep the little guys from peeing up their diaper is to make sure their "little person" is pointed down. Just a tip from one mama to the next, also disposable puppy pads are a life saver for changes and u can save your sheets or wherever else you change him. It makes anywhere and everywhere a water proof changing area and if he pees or poops no big deal throw it away and grab a new one.
7531monkey Oh, stop. True, it is correct and there is no shame in using "penis" (or any other anatomical terminology), but most people are raised to be polite and discrete when refering to genitalia. There should be no shame in that either. So get off your high horse, and learn to live and let live.
Seconding the puppy pad tip. And on that note make sure you get actual puppy pads from the pet aisle. They make an identical product for humans for people who have incontinence issues and charge way more for it! It's literally the same thing as a puppy pad but because it's marketed towards humans they feel like they can jack the price up! So always get puppy pads from the pet aisle instead of "under pads" from the hygiene aisle.
The way I relate to your videos about pregnancy-even childbirth! My daughter was born 3 1/2 weeks early too! I also had an episiotomy (then an emergency c section) but GIRL the stitches down there hurt a million times more than the bikini incision they made to cut her out of my belly. The stitches in my vagina will haunt me forever. I didn’t vlog my pregnancy but the way you described the moment he came out you finally felt like yourself again, I had that too. Being trapped in the bed all I wanted to do was jump back into normal life-the fourth trimester is real! Colleen, thank you for your vlogs. I had a miscarriage a couple months after yours, the comfort of seeing you pregnant again after all that is INSPIRING and seeing your pregnancy sagas has HELPED ME FEEL LIKE IM NOT ALONE. No one talks about vagina stitches or how awfully uncomfortable pregnancy is while at the same time acknowledging that the painful symptoms are completely worth it because you know there’s a family member coming out of you soon. Colleen for president. I also feel like if you need to talk to a stranger who’s been through pretty much exactly the same things, I am here for you sis. Been a huge fan since ‘09. Now we both have a little toddler. In conclusion, Thanks for existing. I feel like ur my friend. ❤️
Her: struggling to be inside for a week Us in 2020: and now you’re fine being inside for a month and making whipped coffee and bread everyday 😂 Love you colleen
i was extremely lucky after I had my daughter. I went right back to my regular size when I left the hospital. However, unfortunately I could not breastfeed so I think I would have rather had a belly and breast fed my daughter than have my body shape back immediately. You look amazing, Colleen, with all you've been through and the fact that you are showing your process is incredible! give yourself 6 months to recuperate. your body will surprise you!!!
Your body is beautiful, proud of you for being honest and talking about all your feelings. I think you look great and are looking healthier than pre-pregnancy. But just want you to feel comfortable and happy!!
colleen remember ....it takes nine monthe to gain the weight. its gonna take about the same time to lose it and thats not bad!!! take you time and you will hit your goal . plus lil reminder.... dont put yourself under too much pressure. we as woman can get really emotional real quick. especially after birth. so take it easy and if you can eat mild chedder cheese. just trust me. God bless your growing family. 😊
I don’t think showing your belly after your pregnancy is weird because you just went through something that changed your whole life Also you look perfect Colleen!
Thank you for being so open and honest about the whole pregnancy process. It's really refreshing and nice to see. You are super woman and a super mom! Take it easy!! ❤️
This is cute. Your so very sweet. You are so very kind and I feel that just by this one comment, you could be making everyone's lives better. Thank you for bringing light to this world.
Rachel O'Leary and some more :P it’s almost been 2 years since I had my daughter and I still don’t weigh the same! It’s just a process :) and I know I’ll never look the same, but our babies are worth it!
@@abigailm5826 well of course you wont weigh the same if u gained weight u usally have to lose it by exercising depends but yeah its not that you wont look the same its that you wont put in the effort
Can we all just take a minute to realize, that Colleen and Erik where exhausted, and the they just started to sing Thank u, next? They Crack me up. Danggggg! Thanks for all the likes! When I looked at this comment, I was shocked!!
Okay, but how does she look so pretty???? Like, even without makeup she looks gorgeous!!! I don't get why she always says she looks terrible, she's gorgeous!!
Thank you for showing a postpartum belly! So many first time moms have only seen moms in the public eye show their bellies again months after the fact when they're back to "normal" and most likely also photoshopped. THIS is real life! You're doing awesome at this motherhood thing and he IS that cute! That shot with his hair in those jammies, staahhhp!
Today I found out I was never going to be able to have a child and to be honest I’m really sad because I did want to be a mom when I get older but I can always adopt a child
I know this is like really late, but I totally feel you. My number one dream is to be a mom, however I don't know if my body will permit that. I am just so scared and I just really want some kids of my own one day.
I think it’s so important that you talk about body image. Bodies are not perfect and No two people are the same. Your body did something incredible and for that, it is absolutely beautiful. You don’t have to have a flat tummy to have a nice body, all bodies have unique quirks- that’s what makes us special
you are AMAZING and beautiful as pregnant woman, pre and post pregnancy INSIDE AND OUT wowow I literally mention how amazing you are to all my friends and on my channel bc you truly are

Cooking Lessons for Dad absolutely, when I had my son I was shocked that I didn’t snap straight back in shape. Refreshing for someone to show the reality.
Couldn’t agree more! X

I love how you are documenting all of you’re experiences while being pregnant and then not and how you look and I just think that you are a very strong powerful person for being able to show us your body even when it’s not like it was before. I look up to you!! Also Flynn is so adorable
ok you guys playing and singing on the couch
That was so sweet!😍
He's actually so good at playing guitar 🎸
Their son is going to be so talented with his musical parents
ALI BUZZELLI IT WAS ADORABLE
I’M THE 1000TH LIKE
WHEN SHE STARTED SINGING THANK YOU NEXT OMGGG IT MADE ME SO HAPPY
Please do a video about the reality and pain of labor and birth, like what you expected and the reality. Of all people, I think you would be the most real and it would be a really cool, informative video
Yeeeeesssss I totally agree
Oooo that's a good idea
Yeah as a preggo myself I’d really like to see this!
She’s done that for nearly everyday
Savannah Christine yess
I didn't really start following you until you got pregnant, and I just want to say that I admire you so much. I love how raw and real you are about everything, and I think you are so strong for being able to get through all this and still be sane. Even when you were miserable and huge you were still able to be funny and I think that is fantastic. You just seem like someone who is able to really bring light into a room by just being there
Same
Beautifully said and also same ☺️♥️
Same
Same I totally agree with you
Even though Colleen is in pain she still sings so beautifully!! You go girl
It’s supper brave for you to be so open and honest about the transformation a body goes through before, during, and after pregnancy. Thank you.
I don't think people give colleen enough credit for how good her voice actually is
Too few people talk about what a postpartum body looks like. I've never even seen one till now. Kudos to you momma!
When Erik was playing the guitar and Colleen was singing that was so cute such a great family moment
Will always be my fave part, singing with Erik playing his Guitar and holding Flynn. My heart! ❤
Anyone who just birthed a human has every right to look however they want as long as they’re healthy

@@astridpaulinasanchezcantu1654 YES! Though if you are carrying a life inside you, especially, take care of your body, and be extra careful of what you put inside it! The whole "eating for two" thing is false, and you cannot just eat whatever you want. Just be careful, while also feeling beautiful no matter the skin you're in, and no matter your size!
Can I get an amen?
1. I'm so happy you're being open about this experience. It's super important people see the real side of what actually happens. Women being pressured to feel they need to lose weight right away IS preposterous. Everybody's body is different. Everything you said was so perfect. Thank you.
2. Flynn is amazingly cute!
3. Wow you have such a cool and beautiful singing voice! Great job!!
You've probably heard this before but just in case, what helps keep the little guys from peeing up their diaper is to make sure their "little person" is pointed down. Just a tip from one mama to the next, also disposable puppy pads are a life saver for changes and u can save your sheets or wherever else you change him. It makes anywhere and everywhere a water proof changing area and if he pees or poops no big deal throw it away and grab a new one.
Agreek& Arussian penis, its used for urination and reproduction, maybe youve seen one
7531monkey Oh, stop. True, it is correct and there is no shame in using "penis" (or any other anatomical terminology), but most people are raised to be polite and discrete when refering to genitalia. There should be no shame in that either. So get off your high horse, and learn to live and let live.
Seconding the puppy pad tip. And on that note make sure you get actual puppy pads from the pet aisle. They make an identical product for humans for people who have incontinence issues and charge way more for it! It's literally the same thing as a puppy pad but because it's marketed towards humans they feel like they can jack the price up! So always get puppy pads from the pet aisle instead of "under pads" from the hygiene aisle.
puppy pads have scent markers. They make ones for humans 😉
The “little person”?? Girl... it’s called a penis
The way I relate to your videos about pregnancy-even childbirth! My daughter was born 3 1/2 weeks early too! I also had an episiotomy (then an emergency c section) but GIRL the stitches down there hurt a million times more than the bikini incision they made to cut her out of my belly. The stitches in my vagina will haunt me forever.
I didn’t vlog my pregnancy but the way you described the moment he came out you finally felt like yourself again, I had that too. Being trapped in the bed all I wanted to do was jump back into normal life-the fourth trimester is real!
Colleen, thank you for your vlogs.
I had a miscarriage a couple months after yours, the comfort of seeing you pregnant again after all that is INSPIRING and seeing your pregnancy sagas has HELPED ME FEEL LIKE IM NOT ALONE. No one talks about vagina stitches or how awfully uncomfortable pregnancy is while at the same time acknowledging that the painful symptoms are completely worth it because you know there’s a family member coming out of you soon.
Colleen for president.
I also feel like if you need to talk to a stranger who’s been through pretty much exactly the same things, I am here for you sis. Been a huge fan since ‘09. Now we both have a little toddler.
In conclusion, Thanks for existing. I feel like ur my friend. ❤️
Gotta start em young

“Thank you next” is now the *TOP* lullaby
Lol
I was thinking the Shade..
i was extremely lucky after I had my daughter. I went right back to my regular size when I left the hospital. However, unfortunately I could not breastfeed so I think I would have rather had a belly and breast fed my daughter than have my body shape back immediately. You look amazing, Colleen, with all you've been through and the fact that you are showing your process is incredible! give yourself 6 months to recuperate. your body will surprise you!!!
Lora lu how did your body go right back to how it was before?
Your body is beautiful, proud of you for being honest and talking about all your feelings. I think you look great and are looking healthier than pre-pregnancy. But just want you to feel comfortable and happy!!
I am proud of Colleen she is SO inspiring
colleen remember ....it takes nine monthe to gain the weight. its gonna take about the same time to lose it and thats not bad!!! take you time and you will hit your goal . plus lil reminder.... dont put yourself under too much pressure. we as woman can get really emotional real quick. especially after birth. so take it easy and if you can eat mild chedder cheese. just trust me. God bless your growing family. 😊
*Flynn has left the womb*
Lauren Dewberry i wheezed 😂
Lauren Dewberry haha

Lauren Dewberry i love this comment 😂💗
Colleen is definitely gonna be that cool mom.
Adeline White fr 💀
I know
Yupp
I am currently 13 weeks and these videos of you and Flynn have been helping me so much, honestly you can't even understand.
I don’t think showing your belly after your pregnancy is weird because you just went through something that changed your whole life
Also you look perfect Colleen!
At least Flynn can say he was in an Ariana grande music video
Lol 😂 so true
I still can't believe after so many years of you wanting to be a mom you're finally there. Damn.
Rip kids when they get to high school tbh they gonna be getting a good amount of mom jokes💀
Gay
@@well7447what?
@@KeIlyMel99they're gonna be destroying those kids😭
She sings so beautifully. They looked so adorable on the couch while she was singing. 😍😍
Allie S agreed!
Thank you for being so open and honest about the whole pregnancy process. It's really refreshing and nice to see. You are super woman and a super mom! Take it easy!! ❤️
You know why your body IS perfect Colleen? Cause it made something perfect.
This is cute. Your so very sweet. You are so very kind and I feel that just by this one comment, you could be making everyone's lives better. Thank you for bringing light to this world.
And because it's perfect anyways
TheSwimKitty that is so cute to say
J Maurer I agree.
I’ve just been watching Colleen in quarentine and decided to watch the whole vlogmas
Love how Shane and Ryland requested this in Ryland's video
@Charlotte one of the 2 newest ones
i think its important to give yourself at LEAST as long after pregnancy as it took to delivery
Rachel O'Leary and some more :P it’s almost been 2 years since I had my daughter and I still don’t weigh the same! It’s just a process :) and I know I’ll never look the same, but our babies are worth it!
No matter how big or small you are it was all worth it because you have the most wonderful child and your body is beautiful no matter what💜
@@abigailm5826 well of course you wont weigh the same if u gained weight u usally have to lose it by exercising depends but yeah its not that you wont look the same its that you wont put in the effort
@@Isabella-bq8ex most new moms arent gonna have time to exersize, but it doesnt matter what you way sis.
Ah yeah same
Can we all just take a minute to realize, that Colleen and Erik where exhausted, and the they just started to sing Thank u, next? They Crack me up.
Danggggg! Thanks for all the likes! When I looked at this comment, I was shocked!!
Were*
I almost cried when they sang and played guitar, I mean that was SO cute and it sounded so pure and amazing!
Okay, but how does she look so pretty???? Like, even without makeup she looks gorgeous!!! I don't get why she always says she looks terrible, she's gorgeous!!
Merriam Samaka it’s kind of starting to bother me, because I look 50 times worse than her without makeup (thank you acne).
Ikr?? She looks better than me.
I agree
@@GlitterC8k i feel you 😫
@@okkotsvz yeah, she definitely looks waayy better than me too
Why am I crying at Colleen singing the line about Malcom in Thank U, Next. 😭
Thank you for showing a postpartum belly! So many first time moms have only seen moms in the public eye show their bellies again months after the fact when they're back to "normal" and most likely also photoshopped. THIS is real life! You're doing awesome at this motherhood thing and he IS that cute! That shot with his hair in those jammies, staahhhp!
Today I found out I was never going to be able to have a child and to be honest I’m really sad because I did want to be a mom when I get older but I can always adopt a child
u go girl.
So sorry!!
Oh ok
I know this is like really late, but I totally feel you. My number one dream is to be a mom, however I don't know if my body will permit that. I am just so scared and I just really want some kids of my own one day.
That's sad, but I'm sure you'll adopt a lovely child
I think it’s so important that you talk about body image. Bodies are not perfect and No two people are the same. Your body did something incredible and for that, it is absolutely beautiful. You don’t have to have a flat tummy to have a nice body, all bodies have unique quirks- that’s what makes us special
you are AMAZING and beautiful as pregnant woman, pre and post pregnancy INSIDE AND OUT wowow
I literally mention how amazing you are to all my friends and on my channel bc you truly are
Your voice is so beautiful
Edit: Thank you so much I've never had this many likes before 😀
Yes amazing
Yes amazing and beautiful
You're such a strong mum!
