Shameful Admissions #3
I have a more positive self-image when I am pregnant, especially big and full and pregnant. I feel like my body has a purpose and it is beautiful being all round and buddha like, cause I am totally growing another human being in there.
But now that I am fully un-pregnant, I feel crappy about my body image. It does not just bounce back like some women's bodies who look like they never have carried a child in their life. I think it has a lot to do with my c-section scar and the way it makes my belly divet in there... its just horrible. I am deflated looking, utterly deflated. AND I KNOW... my body is still amazing in the fact that I am the sole provider of nourishment for my 4 month old baby. He has never had a drop of anything else other than the milk I make with my own body. In that respect, its pretty amazing. But hey, this is my shameful admission post and I am just gonna get it out there. I hate my post-baby body. HATE.

You are not alone at all. I hate mine too. It makes me REALLY depressed. I literally have 1 mirror in my entire house, and it is a tiny bathroom mirror so that I can see my teeth and hair when I brush them.
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel any better - I think you are beautiful!!!
Hey, just saw that you started the VBAC blog. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to do a guest post on it if you'll have me! :)
