My body has changed in what I would deem to be a negative way (loose skin, stretch marks, reduced boob size after breastfeeding and quite a bit less pert!) however I feel significantly LESS self-conscious about my body after giving birth.
It’s very difficult to explain, but after I’d had half a hospital staring (and reaching!) into my vagina, and seeing me in an almost primal state I just feel a whole lot less bothered about how my body appears to other people. I’m not sure if it’s because I had so many people openly staring at it and seeming unphased when I had anticipated abject horror or if it’s because I’m absolutely amazed at what my body endured and achieved in birthing my kid but it’s made me a lot more at peace with myself and my body.
Best of luck to you!
Have you tried knickers with a band at the front? My belly is the same it’s like a deflated balloonI hate my body after having 3 children. I gained wait just on my bump and then once I gave birth it shrunk too quickly and I'm left with a really saggy belly with big, deep, wide stretch marks that look like knife wounds.
I stayed slim throughout pregnancy and after birth (except my bump) but with the saggy belly I feel that I look awkward in all clothes. I live in leggings because I can put them over my belly but any type of shorts, trousers or jeans feel uncomfortable and give me a B shaped belly if I wear them over my belly, and my belly hangs really far over if I wear them at hip level.
