Did some maternity photos at ~37 weeks. Not something I ever thought I would do- but I love them. Cheers to some big uterus energy.
Might share more later. These are not touched up. Figured I'd put them out into the world before I have the baby and that completely takes over my brain.
I was scared to share (yah know, some people don't like doctors being human) but hey, an advanced-maternal-age-surgeon-mom who struggled with fertility is just as much on this journey as anyone else. So here I am.

@AshleyGWinter Absolutely gorgeous! I wish I had more of that stage for my kiddo. Pro tip, take pics of your boobs when your milk comes in. Youll be amazed. I still smile when I think of mine 🥰 I'm a mammary biologist so I was fascinated
@AshleyGWinter If you had the help of a fertility doctor or took IVF, please share. Too much stigma around this, and it would help for people struggling with fertility to know it's okay and they're not abnormal.
@AshleyGWinter And I love that for you! I chose to go to med school as a single mom of my one and only baby girl (she was barely 8 when I started). 1/10, do not recommend.
@AshleyGWinter I’m so happy for you guys!!! Wishing you a stress-free delivery. Holiday babies are the best. Today is this angel’s second birthday!
