Thanks for all your honesty, I'm sure we all know its all worth it. (Although it would have been fabulous to get a lovely baby and keep our old bodies the same!) </p> <p>I'm currently suffering from pregnancy mask (darker patches of skin on my face) not super obvious but without makeup I look like something out of a horror film. Haha. Can't wait for it to go away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-part-of-your-body-has-been-most-ruined-from-having-children/page/2#post-1700633 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 13:57:56 +0000 erinpye 1700633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We already have too many outside voices in this world telling us how imperfect our bodies are, whether we've had babies or not. Enough with the self loathing! I LOVE my body for the 2 girls it grew, birthed, and nourished/ nourishes currently. Nothing about me is ruined, instead I am made whole. Period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-part-of-your-body-has-been-most-ruined-from-having-children/page/2#post-1700601 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 13:19:38 +0000 Running Elley 1700601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing is ruined! I've worked really hard to get to a point where I feel happy in my body again. It hasn't been easy but nothing was ruined beyond what I could do to fix it! </p> <p>I guess my anxiety has gotten a lot worse but, again, it's something I can handle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-part-of-your-body-has-been-most-ruined-from-having-children/page/2#post-1700571 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 12:22:23 +0000 MoonMoon 1700571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve: I like this! My heart is just really really tender now, prone to extremes of love and happiness, but also pain and anxiety.</p> <p>My physical body, though, is actually better now, I'm proud of what it did in growing and birthing a baby, and some pesky things that used to bother me (acne, some extra weight, too big boobs, etc) are gone now. </p> <p>Ok ok, but I do have a hemorrhoid and it's kind of a bitch! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-part-of-your-body-has-been-most-ruined-from-having-children/page/2#post-1700553 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 11:36:02 +0000 MsMamaBear 1700553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Breasts, hate they are so flat now.

And they are ruined. No rainbows and kittens there. But it hasn't made me feel bad about myself. I'm just amazed at how sad they are now. Nothing a boob job can't fix, I guess. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-part-of-your-body-has-been-most-ruined-from-having-children/page/2#post-1700482 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 10:12:36 +0000 delight 1700482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: my tail bone aches too. What a pain!</p> <p>Like others, my 'roids have caused me the most trouble. I have bad flare ups.

I have some pelvic floor dysfunction - but at least that can be fixed... my stomach can't. It is covered from belly button all the way down with stretch marks. No way will I ever wear a two piece ever again and it makes me sad. And that's not including the ones on my sides, butt and thighs.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-part-of-your-body-has-been-most-ruined-from-having-children/page/2#post-1700450 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 09:43:08 +0000 sarac 1700450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My tuchus, for sure. Hemorrhoids are a bitch. I got lucky on the rest of it. More stretch marks on my tummy, but I already had some from college weight gain. And they're not terrible. I'll still wear a bikini. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-part-of-your-body-has-been-most-ruined-from-having-children/page/2#post-1700298 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 05:55:54 +0000 bushelandapeck 1700298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was happy with my pp body before getting pregnant again.

I have 3 scars in that area from different surgeries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-part-of-your-body-has-been-most-ruined-from-having-children/page/2#post-1699466 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 15:26:13 +0000 jedeve 1699466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My heart! It's running around on the outside now. </p> <p>My belly button looks the weirdest. But now I have some hips and boobs, which is kinda nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-part-of-your-body-has-been-most-ruined-from-having-children/page/2#post-1699448 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 15:20:59 +0000 swurlygurl 1699448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: Yep!! :crying: My hips are so weird looking now... where did these even come from?!</p> <p>@Grizz: I like that attitude! :)</p> <p>Although, *actually* most ruined is my tattoo. Seriously sad about that. It's on my hip bone, and remained untouched from my belly. It was the pushing that destroyed it. I don't even know how to go about fixing it :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-part-of-your-body-has-been-most-ruined-from-having-children/page/2#post-1699433 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 15:18:14 +0000 mdf106 1699433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't say ruined. My belly is not awesome, but my feed have been the most affected. Besides growing over a full size, I have had recurrent ingrown toenails, which I never had before. I had one removed, and it grew back, so I had it permanently removed. </p>
