When i got preg with my first my husband and i were engaged for only three months and just had moved in with eachother. When i found out i was worried ged not like me after etc. The day our baby dropped i got stretch marks, when i seen i cried and cried a day youd swear someone just died the way i acted and felt. I layed in bed after i went to my mom who just giggled at me and told me it was ok etc and when i did go home and layed in bed my now husband came in there and kissed my forhead and then asked me what was wrong and i cried and cried told him i has stretch marks and im ugly now and hes nvr going to wanna marry me and lalalala and he gifgled pulled my shirt up over my belly and said i see nothing wrong with you or our baby and kissed my belly and said he doesnt care because its whats creating our bundle of joy and he will not look at me diffrent ever even if i dont lose any weight he stl will love me and will nvrthink bad of my body. So yes we did get married and no he has never once treated me any diffrent and now we are 19 weeks pregnant with our third baby. We have a three year old boy and 9 month old girl. My belly from our first has stretch marks, it has the ugly belly fold at the bottom. Im having alot of self image issues with this one because i JUST had a baby! Im 4 foot 11 and with not getting to lose weight from the last one im now 178 pounds and have till feb to have this baby. I feel really realllyyy fat but ill manage ill be fine and once baby is here i can go back to snap fittness and work out and everything. As for a vagina change after birth i didnt have stitches or anything with my kids one was 7.5 pounds second was 9.1 pounds. My husband is army hes seen more than enough and it didnt bother him both hims to watch it full on and still wanted me two weeks after the babies were here he says it made no difference.

I know exactly where you're coming from! I was in terrible shape after my first pregnancy 6 years ago and finally turned myself around. Running 3 miles a day, I was lifting, got toned and felt comfortable in a bikini for the first time in 15 years! Then I got pregnant with my second and have gained 50 lbs :( I'm having her in two weeks so I'm excited to get back to my routine. It's been a struggle but I've finally accepted my body. I'm creating life inside of me, and if my body isn't the same after I'm ok with that. My husband tells me I'm beautiful everyday and my daughter talks to her sister everyday too. And like the above comment said I've found a new style with this pregnancy and feel great. You'll get there I promise. Everything will change when baby comes and you'll laugh for thinking you were insecure when you're holding you're little one

Please please please remember that your body does change shape after having a baby. Your actual structure will change. Try not to beat yourself up! I assure you the stretch marks will fade in no time and breastfeeding does help some of the weight come off afterwards. You won't go back to how you were but that doesn't mean you can't be healthy fit and mighty fine looking! Your hips may be a little wider, your boobs a little bigger. Take it as an opportunity to explore new styles and fashions! Try something different! After my first pregnancy I changed my entire style to pinup and found a new way to love myself! It can be hard and it will take time, be gentle on yourself though and embrace your new womanly figure!

I know what you mean. I'm 38+6 weeks and just started getting stretch marks on my tummy this week. I see my old pictures and I hope that my body goes back. I can't help but worry about what my stomach will look like after my little one is here. Some women's stomach doesn't flatten it has like extra skin. This is my fiancées and I first baby and I always ask him if my body doesn't go back will he still find me attractive and he says yes. I guess all we can do is be comfortable and confident in our bodies.
