They did actually say her belly was really bad though, i think if it was a normal after pregnancy belly they wouldn't of offered her surgery x
There was nothing wrong with her belly hun - That is normal for many women. It's just not seen very much because too many post-partum women think there is something wrong with their bodies when really that is just a natural body after carrying a baby, stretching to accommodate another human being inside of them and then giving birth - it's a lot to go through and it does leave marks. It is very common for a woman to be left scarred and marked after giving birth, but to varying degrees; some people get one or two stretch marks here or there and that's all, other's get covered in stretchmarks but their tummy snaps right back and they can tone up and aside from the stretchies you'd never know they had had a baby, some get thin strech marks, others get thick, deep stretchmarks, some bounce back to pre-preggo size and some keep the extra 35lbs. Many women get something called abdominal diastasis after birth, which is where the muscles come away and are left looking indented and divided, others get sagging and loose skin which can't be toned up. But everyone is different so you just have to see how you come out at the end of pregnancy.
After it all, no matter how your body turns out after having a baby, you have a body to be proud of because you know that it can perform miracles and you will have made a complete and whole, beautiful little baby. It's the best feeling in the world. But please, if your body turns out different please don't think there is anything wrong with it - it is beautiful what your body is doing! And although it may look different when it is done making your baby, it is still yours and still every bit as beautiful. And many men are very attracted to women after they have had babies, too. I keep an online blog and on an entry about my post baby body, one of my readers even commented on how he preferred a 'mother's body'; the softness, the snuggliness, the bigger, softer breasts, bigger areola and nipples etc. If men stopped finding women attractive after they had babies then no one would have more than one!
Please don't stress about what your body will look like after the birth, but please don't be shocked if it does look like that girl's did - because that is perfectly normal for many women! (The reason they offered her surgery was because she was so depressed by it...)
