| I'm worried about the usual (saggy boobs, bigger/saggy tummy, baby fat) but i'm also worried about prolapse  I saw it on Embarrassing bodies on channel 4 and it really made my face scrunch up! Eeeek | | | | Status: Offline

Eeeek | I totally forgot about prolapse, and then there was that woman who had a third degree tear that got stitched up too tight so she was in constant pain until it was sorted..
Ok I have to say I am a little put off now. | | | | Status: Offline

| I have it all I'm afraid. Infact my body looks like a balloon that you find behind a sofa 6 weeks after the party :P I am actually slimmer now then I was before, but it all looks a bit deflated. However, when I look at my beautiful son everything pales in comparison. I was also worried about downstairs and was afraid that my sex life would resemble the outside of a sausage roll. My DH says it doesn't feel any different and this was when my son was 6 weeks old! It is natural and normal to worry but when it comes to it you wont care! I have down days when I look in the mirror and think yuck, but TBH I thought that sometimes before! HTH xx | | | | Status: Offline

| I didn't breastfeed but my body went back to normaly a short while after birth. I have a great tip tho......use bio oil during pregnancy. Although it is expensive i used it everyday throughout my pregnancy and i don't have any strechmarks.
Don't worry about your boobs, mine looked BETTER after i had my son and still do almost 4 years down the line! | | | | Status: Offline

| I'm sure your OH will still love you whatever the joys of pregnancy through at you! With my 1st I didnt get a single stretchmark, have any baby weight to lose or any other after effects like that, however with my 2nd, 2 and a half years later, despite using coco butter every day, I did get a few stretchmarks and found it much harder to lose the baby weight, and still have a bit now 3 and a half years later. I dont think anything you do will make a difference tbh, what will be will be. I also breastfed for 6 months and it didnt change by boobies!
Hubby is still as randy as he has always been, so I dont think he minds my body now, lol | | | | Status: Offline
