Question

I'm so ashamed of my body since I had my baby 14 months ago. My stretch marks are terrible and my stomach just won't go away (I have separated abs that can only be fixed by surgery). I live in California and feel like I can't even go to the beach or pool or wear most clothing because of how I look. I looked to my husband for support and he told me that my stomach looked disgusting. I don't even want to leave the house anymore. I'm only 115 lbs, it shouldn't look like that!

How would you deal with this? Am I just being vain and overly dramatic? I feel so stupid

Answer

You're beautiful and you're a super hero because you created a human being. 
F anyone who doesn't agree.

Answer

You made a baby with your body, own it! And your husband sounds like a douche, no offense?! But I felt the same way and my husband has been very sweet about it. He says it's beautiful because my body made our beautiful girl. That's what your SO should be saying too. Who cares what others think. When you're dying one day, you're going to be thinking about all of the things you wish you would've done-not the things you did do regardless of what others would think. And you definitely do not look disgusting!

Answer

No, you're absolutely not disgusting. But I also don't think you're being dramatic. If my husband said that to me, I'd feel exactly like you feel right now. But please know that you look great! And absolutely not disgusting.

Answer

You made a baby! You are beautiful :)

Answer

You look good

Answer

You look great! Shame on your husband for calling it disgusting.

Answer

You earned those stretch marks!!! You look awesome! Don't listen to any negatively!! You grew a beautiful baby, you created a miracle! Rock them, they are beautiful. 😊❤️

Answer

That's a normal thing that can happen after having a baby. I don't want to call a guy I don't know an ass, but telling you that was really shitty.

Society sucks for the impossible standards it sets for us.

Answer

I have three children and I love my body. Stretch marks are everywhere but I don't care because I know that I have accomplished something great by having children. My stomach looks worse than yours but it does not matter to me be proud of yourself or just go hit the gym to have more confidence!

Answer

Looks similar to mine. I am 2 weeks PP. I have a lot more stretch marks though, plus a csection incision. I know how you feel. I would look into exercises for the abdominal area and focus on that. It just needs some working out is all since it bugs you so much. I just posted asking about stretch mark creams too, to see for any positive feedback on that. But hey! You are beautiful! Remember when you look at that belly that you created life in there! It is completely normal and there are SO SO many women out there flaunting their skin. Be proud of yourself, you are amazing!
