I needed him to check on stitches and stuff so he saw everything right away. If he didn't like what he saw he was welcome to walk out the door.

Right away. He and my mom helped me shower the first two days in the hospital. He checked on my stitches & helped me shower at home.
I wasn't embarrassed. We just made a baby! Loose skin wasn't even on my radar.

It didn't even cross my mind to keep anything from him...

Right away. It took about two weeks before I could do things like shower without having someone there in case I passed out. He was there helping from the beginning. We joked that the post-partum period is the test of true love

The next morning after I showered, he saw me getting dressed.

Right away. He watched me push the baby out, so he knew what he was in for.

I never thought to hide anything from him. He's not one to care about that sort of thing. He thought what I did was amazing and repeatedly said he could never have done it.

Never even thought to hide anything. He helped me with everything from day 1. He also saw DS come out, so there really wasn't anything to hide after that! He was (and is still) so in awe of the birth and what I did that I don't think either of us really thought anything of it.

I never had to have my stitches checked (other than at my 6 week appt) so I actually still don't really want him looking at my lady bits (C will be a year in a week and a half). Maybe I'm weird.
The rest I didn't care about. He saw lots of boobs right away, with BFing, and I'm sure he saw my stomach a lot. I wasn't exactly prancing around naked or anything though, and I didn't need help showering so that just didn't come up.

From day one. It never would have crossed my mind to try and hide my new body from him.
And fwiw, I don't think it changed his perspective on my body in any way. I tore down below, have a million stretch marks, and have a diastasis recti. He still loved my body and desired it and couldn't wait until my six week appt to be cleared for intimate time. I'm sure your husband will feel the same! They see firsthand what we go through to bring our babies into this world!

I had a csection, so no stitches or differences there but I'm pretty sure he saw everything immediately. He still tells me what my organs looked like during the c-section so nothing on the outside should bother him lol! I wasn't self conscious afterward.

Right away. He helped me with my c-section incision issues and I spent most of the time topless breastfeeding. I didn't even think about being self-concious after having surgery to bring our baby into the world!

Right away. I didn't really see the point in hiding it. I'm actually much more comfortable being naked in front of him now, surprisingly. Maybe because he's seen it all at the worst (he watched the entire birth)?

I still haven't had the baby but it never crossed my mind to not let him see me at any point.

Day one- it never even crossed my mind to hide myself. @Mrs tartan: are you worried?

Immediately. Didn't even cross my mind to hide anything. And I didn't feel at all self conscious.

Within 2 hours of giving birth we were in our room and I wanted to shower and I immediately had him come look and tell me how bad/good my belly looked lol I have no shame and don't hide anything from him.....much to his dismay I'm sure

Yeah, I had a c section so he helped me shower the next day. I wasn't worried about it at all. My husband isn't the type to care though!

Immediately for sure! He had to help me use the bathroom, get in and out of the shower, etc! Nothing to hide, and he was a great nurse as I healed.

I didn't put pants on until we left the hospital 2 days after lo was born, lol, so he saw everything immediately
honeydew / 7916 posts
He saw everything down there as I was giving birth and reminded me often that he saw the worst of it, so it never occurred to me to hide anything.

Straight away. Once we had gone through birth together the mystery was gone!

@meganmp: no it was a friend of mine who had her baby 11 weeks ago and she had said that she still didn't want to have sex as she didn't wanted her SO to see how different her lady bits were now.
It hasn't crossed my mind until she said it, but I see now that the majority just let it all hang out, ill go with that too

Immediately. He helped me shower and dress and checked my staples because I couldn't bend.

Immediately. He was in my hospital room for all checks. Then when my c section incision opened up he was the one who had to pack it with gauze for me daily. Fair to say its impossible for him to see me in a less flattering way now lol

I didn't hide anything pretty sure I walked around in the mesh hospital no top while trying to breastfeed!

He had to check my incision and helped me shower so immediately.

Immediately and almost every day after--with breastfeeding, you're basically naked all the time, so forget about hiding your stretch marks, haha.
