Welcome to Gaia! ::

Everyone tells me "oh it's a badge" or whatever.. I don't care. I hate my body right now. I had a c-section.. the scar pushes everything up so I have that "pouch" and I gained 69 pounds during the pregnancy so I have a lot of extra wrinkly skin on my belly that will never go away... My breasts... oh god.. are saggy. *sighs*


any words of encouragement from other mommies that feel my pain? emo

i remember that! how long ago did you have your baby? I have become a crusader for wearing a medical belly band for 2-4 months post partum. or try to get a ultra firm girdle from the store and make sure it's one that comes up under your bust. and be sure to wear it all the time even sleeping and especially while exercising. it's a pain but worth it and maybe you won't have to have repair surgery like i did!

Well my mom has had it for 22 years and after four surgerys (one to remove her uterus) I think she deserves to get her old body back.

And I just had c-section 3 months ago And then on top of that had issues with the incision just a few weeks after ward.(basically I had the derma bond stuff on it and it was healing fine and my body had a bad reaction to the stuff they used to sew under it...Yadda Yadda I have a bad scar now.) and I have to say Badge of honor my butt...We may be proud of our bodies and stuff for having the kid but Our husbands do look at us different because we now have stretch marks the added little pouch and if you had a c-section a nice new scar. But if I was to ever get a surgery It wouldn't be because of my husband it would be for my self because being 22 with boobs that sag badly..Even with a really good bra just doesnt help.
