I'm watching it :D

It's on at 9pm tonight....

It should be interesting to see what they do about teen pregnancy etc. Tbh I have a few concerns since having Anna where I've thought, "Is that NORMAL??!" lol so should hopefully be good to answer that :lol:

Did you see Tuesday with that girl who had had a baby and had a tummy tuck to 'fix' her tummy?? OMG :sick: I could not ever have one of those! She did look good after, though :)
 
Bless that girl! The one that had the tummy tuck, she was so affected by it that she diddnt ever want any more children. It made such a difference to her stomach diddnt it! I hope shes happyier now bless her
 
I've been watching it all week apart from yesterdays and i love it too!

Although when i've watched it i watch it with my mum n dad and feel a bit awkward sometimes lol.

Yeah but if she meets a bloke in a few years time and decides she wants another baby that would have all been for nothing. Plus her tummy was normal and is expected after pregnancy, i think she was silly personally lol xxx
 
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! :rofl:

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...)

There are many inspirational stories and photos about post-partum bodies, by lots of different mum's on this website: www.theshapeofamother.com

I personally think that if you absolutely cant live with something- like your stomach etc and conventional things like exercise cant fix it, its ok to have these things fixed.... I wish society wasnt so superficial but society is (well most people)... but if your body issue is unresolve-able and you just cant be happy and if its gonna affect your relationships, aswell as overall life maybe for some people its worth having surgery!

but i do wish we could just help people feel more comfortable for who and what they are (inside and outside)
 
oh no i missed the pregnant gurl one... does anyone know if they will be repeatin it at all? :(

It's a personal decision whether to have plastic surgery or to accept your body the way that it is. If a part of your body is causing you real depression and lowering your quality of life then who could judge for choosing to change that the only way you could (with surgery) if that was what you chose?

However I do think that it's worth thinking for a moment, hold on, maybe this is normal? It's views like making big sweeping statements implying that that sort of tummy is abnormal, or there is something wrong with or bad about that that increase women's bad views of themselves.

I wish that more mum's would show off their bodies so that mum's to be and other people could see what a real post-partum body looks like rather than having unrealistic expectations and thinking that there is something wrong with a body that comes out of a pregnancy different to how it went into it!

:hug:
 
I think surgery is absolutley fine if your not happy with your body! I had a breast enlargement in May this year and Im so pleased! Before I didnt even fill an A cup but now Im a D. Doesnt look fake atall. The surgeon only done it on me because he could see how unhappy it was making me, looking like a boy. They don't normaly operate on under 18's (I was 16 when I had it done) I really do think surgery is fantastic if something is making you very unhappy it DOES make a huge differance :)
Xxx
 
Do you not think that at 16, your body still has time to mature? i know i didnt get huge boobs til i was about 18 (by huge, i mean a DD). plus once you have bubba your boobs will probs be bigger anyway. i know things like that can really get you down, but i always think there's other ways and time really can change your body when you're so young.

when i saw the girl that had the tummy tuck, i thought she looked just like what i expect to look like postpartum. and i dont think the baby was that old either was he/she??
