Hello! First I wanted to say that I love your site! It has helped me so much. My story is pretty short. I got pregnant when I was 21 with my first baby. I started to get stretch marks around 30 weeks and never stopped until he was born. I thought I would go back to my normal small size with a flat tight skin belly, but no such luck! He was born two days late, I was induced and then had an emergency c-section he was 8lbs 8ozs and perfect! It is very hard being a young mother who used to have a perfect beach body to having a body I hate. I wish I had the money to get a tummy tuck, but I put my child first and could never waste that much money on myself for such a shallow thing. I love being a mother and would never trade it for the world. I included a pic of my c-section scar! Thanks for listening and please keep this website going!!
I think your body looks stunning!
But I know exactly what you mean about how hard it is to be young and go from having the stereotypically perfect body to having one that is so drastically different.
Thank you so much! I don’t feel stunning but I am getting there!!!!
I think you look beautiful, your curves are sexy and VERY worthy of being proud of!!! I do understand your feelings too, I wish I’d appreciated and celebrated my body in its pre-baby state a little more now that that body is gone for good, but with time and places like this, we can all learn to love our bodies (again)!
