Body Insecurity

Hey mummas ❤️

Have any other mums been feeling insecure about their bodies since having babies?

I’m still only 23, and lately I’ve been looking at all these women who get their bodies done after having kids, and I can’t help but compare myself. My breasts aren’t as lifted as they used to be, and I’m not quite as skinny as I was before pregnancy.

I still have a little bit of baby weight that I haven’t been able to shift, along with stretch marks and some sagging skin. I still have very visible purple stretch marks from my pregnancy, and I’ve tried every cream, but nothing seems to make much of a difference. If anyone has any tips for reducing their appearance, I’d love to hear them!

My partner and I are planning on having our second baby once our first bub is 2 and a half. I’ve even thought about getting a breast lift after our second baby, but I’m honestly so scared of surgery or having anything surgical done to my body. I’ve always had a fear of it, so it’s something I’m really unsure about.

I’d love to hear from other mums who have felt the same way. If you’ve been through this, how did you learn to feel confident in your body again? And for those who’ve had a breast lift, what was your experience like? I’d really appreciate any advice, reassurance or support from other mums who understand. ❤️
