Any mothers out there discouraged with the way their abdomen looks post pregnancy?  Of course you are.  I don’t care what people say, no matter how much you work your abdominals, you can’t get rid of that stretched skin.  It just isn’t natural for skin to stretch that far out and then come back, unless it has the elasticity of gumbo.  I hate the way my abdomen looks after buttoning up my jeans.  Tummy tuck please!  Your whole body shape changes.  Your hips widen to prepare for the birth of the baby, and they never go back.

And as for the stretch marks…..I used that coco butter lotion from 8 weeks on and I can’t even count the marks.  I call them my “marks of achievement” for giving life to two beautiful girls.  I figure, the amount of women who try for years to get pregnant, or for the couples that can’t have children, I really should call them “marks of achievement” because I am blessed to be able to bare two children.

I guess a one piece bathing suit will have to do!!!
