My DH had a vasectomy in January, so we are definitely finished with babies. Thanks for sharing your plans! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-pregnancy-tummy#post-2923007 Tue, 23 Mar 2021 17:36:38 +0000 DesertDreams88 2923007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fully plan to get skin removal surgery or a tummy tuck when my youngest is about 6 and we're 1000% done with even the possibility of another baby (for example, my partner will get a vastectomy and we'd wait the 6 months, get his sperm count tested, etc) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-pregnancy-tummy#post-2922995 Tue, 23 Mar 2021 08:57:41 +0000 JMOM 2922995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just posted on your wall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-pregnancy-tummy#post-2922992 Tue, 23 Mar 2021 07:42:31 +0000 Jessiemuller88 2922992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jennlin821: @graceandjoy: thank you ladies!

It made me tear up reading it, because it is so true and beautifully written. Thank you so much for sharing this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-pregnancy-tummy#post-2922963 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 19:11:55 +0000 Aria 2922963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No personal experience, but a photographer I follow on Instagram posted about her decision to get surgery <a href="https://elenasblair.com/blog/where-do-i-fit-in-the-body-positivity-movement" rel="nofollow">https://elenasblair.com/blog/where-do-i-fit-in-the-body-positivity-movement</a></p> <p>I think it’s similar to a lot of the things you are feeling. She just had the surgery very recently and seems happy and I think she plans to share the results and talk about the process more once she’s recovered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-pregnancy-tummy#post-2922948 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 12:51:07 +0000 Jessiemuller88 2922948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyPenny: thank you! I really appreciate it! </p> <p>My boobs are also deflated after breastfeeding, so I totally understand where you are coming from too. Thank you for the suggestions! I have bought myself some clothes and lingerie that I feel good in and it definitely helps, but in my head, I know it’s still there. I wish I didn’t care so much, but it’s hard seeing a body I don’t recognize as my own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-pregnancy-tummy#post-2922947 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 12:19:30 +0000 JennyPenny 2922947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First, congratulations on getting back to your pre-baby weight! That's a fantastic accomplishment. </p> <p>I'm right there with you though, but it's my boobs that bug me more than my stomach. If someone gifted me a boob job, I would take it in a second, but like you I'd feel guilty/shallow doing it for myself. For me, I've just mostly focused on ways I can feel good in clothes. So bras and lingerie that make me feel less saggy. If I were more worried about my belly, I could see myself getting some nice things that hide/suck in my tummy for wearing under clothes or while being intimate. I also tend not to look in the mirror too much while naked. It's not a perfect solution but the right undergarments definitely give me back some confidence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-pregnancy-tummy#post-2922946 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 11:59:16 +0000 Jessiemuller88 2922946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had twins 15 months ago. I am down to my pre pregnancy weight and fitness level, but I have loose wrinkly skin on my stomach that isn’t going away. I hoped it would get better with time, but the skin was stretched so much, that I finally realize it’s here to stay. </p> <p>I know I should be proud of my body and all it has done for me, and I am in many ways, but I am seriously hung up on the loose skin. It makes me feel incredibly insecure in the bedroom, and I’ll never feel comfortable wearing a bikini again. Lately I have been considering getting a tummy tuck when my twins are 3 or 4. Part of me feels so incredibly shallow and selfish for even considering it, but the other part of me just wants to feel confident again. I want to accept my skin, but every time I shower, get dressed, have sex, etc. I’m stuck staring at something I hate seeing. I think my “lack of control” over changing it is driving me crazy. </p> <p>Have you ever considered a tummy tuck? Has anyone had one that is willing to share?Or does anyone have advice on accepting/loving postpartum changes? </p>
