My body just doesnt feel/look like my own!

posted 28th Oct
Ugh i feel awful to vent about this as it sounds sooooo vain and pathetic. My son was born 6 wks ago, which i know isnt that long ago. I'm normally quite small in height and weight, so i never ever thought i'd have a LO that weighed 8lb8oz...as a result the stretch marks i have on my stomach, waist and back are sooooo deep and red/purple they will never go away. My midwife was nice enough to say when i was pregnant 'oh you have the ones for life dear!!!' Supposedly its the silver/white ones that fade. The huge saggy sack like skin on my stomach is awful too. I'm in no rush to lose weight or tone up just now, partly because i'm so worried that i'll find that this saggy sack like thing wont go away. Again i feel crap for venting about this, its just cos my body doesnt feel or look like my own anymore. I know it can take the best part of a yr to get back to normal, but thesethings that i've mentioned will still be there.
....i'm just having a crappy day!!! Feel majorly fed up!

I'm sorry mama!   I have a lot of stretchies too. You can try the mederma for them. I've not used it but I've heard it works for some and not for others. Worth a shot though!
