I know I've plenty of time to prepare but whereas most people try to prepare themselves for the length of time it'll last and the pain that they will endure, I'm thinking that will be the easy part for me. The hard part on the other hand is knowing that with my baby being due in September, I'll have a nice tan built up from summertime which means my self harm scars will be very visible. I know I should worry about it but my SO's family has never seen them before and I'm nervous about the looks that I'll get and the thoughts that will cross people's minds. 😣
