Q: Im having a really rough time

I’m having a bad time with my self image lately and it feels bad. I don’t want to be self conscious anymore. It sucks. My son is 7 months. Natural birth that left me with bladder prolapse. So I look different and feel different down below. Hubby doesn’t mind this an its actually helped our sex life…lol. But my boobs are hideous!

I cannot believe how horrible they feel and look. Its just not right. I breastfed for 6 months. I just stopped about 2 weeks ago. Now my milk is just about dried up but it has left my once perfect 36DD a lousy C cup at best. And they are so weird feeling. I don’t know what to do. See my hubby has been gone for 1 ½ months. He hasn’t seen my new boobs. He comes home next week. I’m getting so nervous. What if he doesn’t like them anymore? What if he’s disgusted by them? I just feel so old and used up. I mean I guess I knew my boobs would sag more after my baby but I didn’t know I would lose all the firmness too. (Im 22 and we have been together 3 yrs.)

Its just bad and I feel horrible. I really don’t want this insecurity over my head. Im scared for my hubby to even touch me. This stinks. What did you mommies do?

don't feel bad. i know alot of mothers have depression after having a baby too. post pardum or something like that? i have friends who have had babies, i never have, but they all go through the same thing. alot of them actually go to the gym. if you can find someone like a close friend or family member to watch over your little angel a few times a week, you can just hit up the gym for an hour or so 3 times a week. or even work out at home. i know if you would on your arms a little bit sometimes that helps your breats. and you can get a good cardio workout to lose any extra pounds you may have gained. working out does wonders for your image and also your self confidence because you feel so good after a nice long workout that you get excited to work out again the next day. i'm sure your husband is going to love you no matter what, but going to the gym will help YOU feel better.

thanks...Daniel has since come home. And he doesnt mind my new body. He thinks im sexier than before...its funny you mentioned working out. I have began to do excersises at home and started walking more. It has made me feel beautiful. I feel like I have a nice butt and hips and legs. I always have. So I started to work those out the most and it has given me so much confidence! I suggest every woman to focus on what they LIKE about themselves not the bad. Thats what Im doing,

insecurity still sneaks up but not for long!
