    Wow, they cut you really high up it looks like? Maybe its just the pics but mine is all the way in my hair down there. Thanks for sharing I love to see other c-section pics.

    God bless you all for such honesty! I was the size of a cruise liner by the end of my pregnancy – no stretch marks, but retaining water for America. My skin is now baggy EVERYWHERE – at the base of my neck, the backs of my hands, under my chin … and I’m still almost 20kgs overweight one year after the event. My baby is heaven itself, the most glorious little girl I could have imagined, but my body causes me a lot of anguish. I was pretty gorgeous before, you see, and my ego’s taken a hit =) And I can’t diet – and am too tired to exercise – because I’m still breastfeeding, so … I guess acceptance is key, right?

    Thank you for sharing! Everytime I come to this site, it helps me realize that I am not the only one who looks like this and is struggling emotionally with my changing body. You are beautiful mama!

    OMg i am a female myself and I have never seen the female form like this. This is the sad reality of our times. The stitches must have been really painful for you; you must have a lot of inner strenght. I myself am afraid of having a child as my bf is really into aesthetics. One time he was showing me a pic of his sister after delivery and the first thing he said was “she’s gotten so fat.” I think he is slowly becoming more sensitive to the suffering women endure.

    I love this site and how it honestly portrays all the variations in a woman’s body. I admire your courage and I wish more of us (both male and female) could see the diversity in women’s bodies so we could all become more accepting.

    These are my pictures- I didn’t know they were posted as anonymous. Yeah Lisa, they cut me pretty high up. The doctor later said, “Well, it isn’t like you were gonna wear a bikini anyway…” I have a few more stretch marks now after my 2nd pregnancy, I VBACed a 10 lb girl.
