MOTHERHOOD doesn't mean skipping over a trendy wardrobe.
Mom Morgan Baldwin has tried on swimwear pieces from retailer Shein, giving her two cents on some of the styles.
"Hey y'all, my name is Morgan. I am a proud stretch mark, midsize mom, and I just got a huge Shein order in," Baldwin began in a social media video.
"So if you're like a size eight to 12, if you carry a lot of weight in [your stomach] area, if you're a mom and you feel like you still can't dress cute or wear certain things – or hell, even if you just like seeing what people buy and try on, keep on hanging out!"
The first swimsuit Baldwin modeled was a one-piece. It had a cutout in the tummy area and was beige on the top portion, with a white polka dot pattern bottom.
Upon putting it on, Baldwin was a bit disappointed.

She had originally ordered the same swimsuit in a large and decided to size up, but the extra large turned out to be too loose.
Despite that, she thought it would be perfect for those trying to feel comfortable in their bodies.
The next swimsuit was a two-piece, vertical striped number with high-cut bottoms and a scooped front top.
"The only thing I wish Shein would do is to let you buy separates. Because I need like an XL in the top."

Though Baldwin wished she could size up in the top, she felt the set was "cute."
The next swim set was similar to the previous one in terms of cut – but instead of stripes, it was ribbed with a solid periwinkle color.
Baldwin loved the color and said the fabric quality of the $6 set was "really good."
While she was a big fan of the bottom, the top was oddly loose and offered no support.
As she couldn't just decide to keep the bottom and return the top, she decided she'd send the whole swim set back.
Viewers in the comments section of Baldwin's video were happy to hear her take on the items, like one who wrote: "This is the most real video I’ve seen… Made me smile… Thank you."
Another person gave a tip for finding separates.
"They do have separates! You just have to look [up] 'bottoms' and 'tops'," they wrote.
