StretchmarksOkay, I'm going to be frank and upfront about this one, I didn't get a single one..that was until I got to around 27 weeks..then it felt like I had a new batch every morning, I hated them, I cried, it doesn't make you selfish for feeling that way, people told me 'they'll fade, they'll fade", whatever, I didn't believe them, but guess what? They were right! It was hard to come to terms with them, I won't lie, I didn't look in the mirror after a certain point as I would feel so down about it, 2 years later though and I honestly don't care about them anymore, yes of course I'd prefer not to have them but I don't think about it every day, there is only so much you can do about them, there are lots worse things that could be happening, so try and think of it that way :) Eyesight
I've seen this topic on a few other blogs, I was so relieved when I realised it wasn't just me..ive always had 20/20 vision, but during my pregnancy it deteriorated, not dramatically or anything but I found myself squinting more and things further away got more blurry..I'm actually in need of having an eye test as my eyesight has continued to get worse since i've had Abbie, as I said it's not dramatic but definitely noticeable now! Excess Hair I'm not just talking about the long flowy and thick hair you're promised throughout the months, but the unwanted hair, the kind that starts growing on your chin or face, maybe even your leg or underarm hairs are suddenly thicker or growing at a rapid pace! No-one tells you about all this, I honestly don't know why but there is something you can do to help and it's not something you have to live with 'forever'. Most of the time it all returns to normal not long after you've had your baby, but for some women it can stay for a pretty long time afterwards! Luckily there is an amazing treatment you can have, Laser Hair Removal is the most popular treatment with celebrities and really is a confidence altering treatment! There is a common misconception that it's a pricey treatment but with the growing success in the results, prices can start from just £45! But what exactly is Laser hair removal? Is it safe? YES! It is 100% safe and also a virtually painless method of removing unwanted hair. It works by using a special laser beam at the base of the hair follicle, halting hair growth.Many professionals and celebrities choose laser hair removal as it is considered the highest quality, most safe and effective way to remove unwanted hair from visible areas. Embrace your new bodies ladies, look at your gorgeous little baby and realize its really not important if you have stretchmarks or saggy skin..who says you can't wear a bikini again? Suddenly you're unatractive because of little scars and extra skin? No..be confident in your new skin, be proud that you created the most amazing being, you! (well and with a little help from the OH)! Ha. Don't spend your days wishing you looked different, life is too short and before you know it your babies will be grown ups and you'll be telling them not to worry about it too! As a friend of mine says.."women are goddesses" :).
