Hi everyone, this is my third entry; my first 2 can be seen here and here. A little recap. I am 29 years old and I have 2 daughters, ages 8 and 4. I recenlty gave birth to a third daughter in April 2010; but she was not mine to keep, I was a surrogate! :) I had decided long ago after the birth of my second daughter that one day I would have a tummy tuck and get my diastasis recti and lax skin fixed!! I did it!! I am 5 weeks post surgery and recovering slowly but surely.
As I was looking through some pictures, I was amazed at what I saw. I had always joked that when I was pregnant, it felt as though the girls were trying to claw their way out of me!!Well, it looks like they almost suceeded! I outlined the clawmarks aka: stretchmarks on my belly so it could be easier for you all to see!! LoL 10 silver clawprints !! I have to say, I am so happy that I still have these! I love them!! Would a smooth belly be prettier to look at? Possibly but not to me! I may have altered my mommy belly, but I cherish my childrens permanent finger paintings! :)
This is really cool! It takes a very amazing person the give life to a family that cannot do so :) I am happy your surgery went well, you look great :)
your belly looks GREAT!!! glad you had the “guts” to have the surgery..I did too!
Love it! You look fabulous and what a blessing it must have to be a surrogate!
hey, you look so good! i decided to repair on march of this same year, like you… and now, a few months later i feel stronger everyday, i feel a lot secure of myself… first days were so hards… but now i feel better, my shoulder are ok because i feel my abs stronger again!
i know you are so strong, and beauty with one belly or another, BELLA!!! GUAPA!
GOOD LUCK, and good recovery! kisses
LOVE YOU GIRL!!! and it is my honor to call you my friend ;)
You really look great! And I really love the pattern of your stretchmarks! What are the chances? You have a beautiful body! Thank you for your story! :D
