pride?

Am I the only one proud of my stretch marks and weight gain? Sometimes I look at pics of my body pre-pregnancy and wish I still looked like that but at the same time I love my body now. I love my fuller boobs, big booty and new curves... I think my baby bump looks attractive! I've been doing prenatal yoga and eating by the books (for the most part haha) and I've packed on 50+ pounds! I just want to know what you ladies like about your sexy new bodies?

They say Maderma works for minimizing the appearance of scars. It will fade in time for sure tho. And don't expose it to sunlight while its still fresh. Just like with stretch marks it makes them darker.

That was actually a question I had mommabear! I am dying for my scar to turn into a pink line so I can shave better. It drives me nuts lol I tried googling that question, but of course it was no help.

Stretch marks come with the package of having a baby. So might as well accepy them.  My husband of 11 years has never made one comment about my stretch marks.  I only got them with my first two pregnancies and I've had 3 pregnancies after. I love my boobies:) lol my husband always jokes that he doesnt want to get attatched to them cuz they're fake lol. And he doesn't want to fight with a newborn over them. Your pregnancy body is beautiful anf H E LL yes I give myself permission to eat whatever I want! I'm healthy my baby is healthy so I'm not gonna deprive myself cuz I'm worried about what I look like. Thats selfish! Im secure with myself enough not to give a dam what anyone else thinks!!

Luxejess - your scar will fade so you'll hardly notice it.    I'm 11w pp today, and mines is already pale pink, Not that anyone would see my bikini line anyway, but I doubt they'd notice it if they did.   :) x

I never minded the stretch marks, but after my c section I felt so ugly with my new scar. I never thought of it to be the same as the stretch marks. I feel loads better now. Thanks for this post!! :)

Mtasker - nothing wrong with Ben & jerrys. I craved ice cream the entire time i was pg lol so i ate a lot. EDs are definitely no fun - personal or professional experience? Im a mental health nurse by trade and worked 5y in an ED specialist unit.

Kmlg- lol 3 weeks? Nothing wrong with that. I was bugging bd for kids after about 2y lol, and this one still wasn't planned at 4y but i wouldn't change him.

Roop - i can see you now doing sex ed, at least it be informative lol x
