I felt the same way after I had my son, I had gained 40lbs and got stretch marks on my sides and my outer thighs. I would shy away too after showers and turn off lights during sex bc I felt ugly bc of the stretch marks and hubby would always tell me he doesn't care and when he looks at me he doesn't see stretch marks he sees his beautiful wife but you still can't help but to feel insecure! But the stretch marks will fade and the weight will drop and you will learn to like your new body, I know I did. It takes time, try not to stress yourself out girl and I doubt your fiance looks at you any differently you gave him a beautiful baby and he will forever be grateful to you for that!

I hope these feelings fade quickly. I am almost 18 & there is a lot of pressure with all of these victoria secret models walking across my tv every 10 mins & i can't even watch a decent movie without seeing boobs. I'm not jealous and do not regret my son but i do miss my old body :/

Yes that's how my cousin was until she realized that she's still very attractive. She just told me that of I get stretch marks to smile because I've know become a tiger. Something like that lol.

*more lbs to lose and he still seems attracted to me but hating my body keeps me from enjoying myself during sex and i also shy away from him after showers or in the light while I'm not dressed. is it normal to feel this way? Will it ever feel better?
