I got stretch marks from my chest to my calves and they are big and noticeable. It made it easier to have more kids, but not to jump into a bikini and feel good about myself. After a while they fade and after a while I stopped caring what other people thought and decides to be proud of them. They are my battle wounds from creating life!! It feels like you will never get back to normal, but it does happen. I actually hoped that by going to the pool and beach bearing my lovely stretch marks that maybe some other mom who was embarrassed by their own may feel like they could be proud of their body. I don't know that anyone even notices or cares, but it helps me to have confidence again by thinking of them as my battle scars and reminds me just how incredible a woman's body is! Anyway, I hope you are recovering well and loving mommy hood! You looked fantastic a few weeks ago and I'm sure you look as gorgeous as ever today!!

I do have to say, I didn't get stretch marks (I dont know if it was what I used, or just great luck) but I did H U G E. I don't have many photos of me from my last trimester, If I do, they're not very clear photos. I actually didn't even realize how huge I really was until I came across a photo of myself on T's phone. Swollen. everywhere. just... like the nutty professor. massive. I do recall having a pretty tough 1st trimester, as well as some complications in the second. I remember being miserable, but now a year later.. I remember them like a bad dream.. kind of faded. <br /><br />and although, i specifically remember thinking.. "GET THIS KID OUT OF ME" every day of the last month of my pregnancy.. I'd totally do it all over again. It's so true. When you get your baby in your arms, the last thing you're thinking about is what your weight is. <br /><br />By the time you're ready to get out and about with your little babe, you'll already have lost so much weight, and breastfeeding helps as well. <br />But it's really true that after that little one comes, the things you're worried about now just aren't as important anymore. You've made a miracle. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09555241871444259536noreply@blogger.com
