Hey Ladies.
im 21 years old and i have a 3 year old son; ever since iv had him iv been very down about my body-i cant even show my boyfriend my tummy because i have stretch marks; he tells me im beautiful no matter what and that its part of being a mommy but for some reason i can convince myself that its ok; its starting to effect my sex drive cause i just am so down about myself. HELP!!
Have any of you felt this way before? what do i do? i want my convidence back!!
Have u started working out? or is it just the stretch marks that bothers you? There is some cream you could try called maderma i think. Its supposed to help with scars andthats pretty much what stretch marks are. Good luck!
My weight isnt an issue im 100lbs its just the stretch marks :/ thank you ill have to give that cream a try!
Oh honey...I've had 3 kids...and I've felt like that since the first one was born. My DH says the same thing...he thinks I'm more beautiful now than before because I've given him children and my stretch marks are my badges of honor. I know he means well, but ya...I don't care. I still don't have any interest in sex because of my body. One of my friends had a breast reduction surgery and they told her to use Mederma for her incisions to help with the reduction of scars and she said it actually worked better for her stretch marks than the incisions.
100lbs. May I ask how tall you are?

I am the same way. Since my first child. But just keep in mind what your hubby tells you. I am slowly starting to get there. I just had the second and my marks are worse than ever. but keep your head up..
4 kids later my husband says I am beautiful. I am overweight and feel morbid obese. I do work out and eat healthy and never seem to loose weight. I was called fat by my grandparents, aunts and uncles, my ex and my father all my life. I have the most insecure feelings about myself. the pic you see on my profile my husband took and made me put on here..lol. I will never be dainty and feel like an elephant all the time. I wont let my husband even see me naked in the 4+ years we have been together. He says I dont look like what I see. He is just sweet because I see it. I know body issues are hard to deal with. I feel your pain on this subject. But yo are beautiful!
It's a hard thing to overcome when you see them, but- you brought life into the world. You have done somthing that some women can only dream of! :) I have a hard time accepting mine as well, you just have to remember- even if YOU think they're ugly, someone else thinks they're beautiful <3
