Embarrassed about scars and pigmentation
I’m not sure where else to vent about this but being of brown skin and coming from a family of skin disorders, I have deeply pigmented scars from an old rash running down one of my legs, and my Inner thighs and vagina are super dark from hormones and being heavy all my life
Till this day I’ve never fully exposed my vagina or inner thighs in front of my spouse and I’m very modest as a person anyway.
I know when it comes to labor and delivery women say they won’t care because of the pain and everything, and I watch tons of delivery YouTube videos, and I see these women splayed out in front of their spouses, moms, and the entire team.
I know it’s totally normal and that most people don’t remember or care about these things, but all I can think of is my scars and my dark inner thighs being exposed and my spouse seeing all this and thinking less of me.
Again, I know it’s stupid to think about this stuff when I should be caring about more important things like-I don’t know-birthing an entire child, but it is what it is.
