As the same I was really self concious when it came to Summer because of my strechmarks. I would wear leggings or a long dress to cover up completely, I would always be so hot having to wear them all the time, I even remember one day I was in my backyard gardening (the only place I would wear shorts) and someone came over so I hurried up and got changed before I would great them. It took me awhile to learn to be confident in my own skin again now I wear short dresses and shorts in public (they have faded but are still there) I just learned that no one really cares about them... Something I wish I had of realised a lot sooner.
Also about the losing weight are you breastfeeding as that helps lose weight, maybe go for walks with your little one if the weather is nice.
First off congrats on the baby! Second, go easy on yourself. It took me a long time to get my body at a weight I was comfortable at again after giving birth.
Find a bathing suit you feel comfortable in - weather its a two piece, one piece, tankini whatever you feel confident in!
Your body has done an amazing thing. You should be proud of it. It will heal and go back to its glory in its own time. 💕
You women who are self conscious. Let me tell you that if he truly loves you, it won't bother him. It all has to do with how you feel. You are all amazing women that have been through 10 months of carrying somebody in your womb. That is something to be praising because men can't do and even after everything you still look like you and that won't change. If you truly want to get rid of everything I can tell you what you can do for getting rid of the paunch and stretch marks. Find some true cocoa butter and use two-three times daily
Guys don't mind it. Doubly so if it's his baby.
My wife's stretch marks are basically badges of honor. She carried my baby, those lines are representative of her struggles and I wouldn't change anything.

As far as I know stretch marks never heal. If you discover a way without expensive surgery PM me.
As for the weight, I can't see any other way except diet and working out.
Honestly as long as your man doesn't mind who cares? Don't body shame yourself.
ask a dermatologist to help and teach you to use a dermaroller on the stretch marks, it will go away :)
Nice
If i had a girlfriend who was worried about her appearance, (and if i were to marry her) i would go as far as getting strech marks as well to make her feel at ease. Sounds kinda lame but i would go that far to make her comfortable with her appearance.
I am a doctor and i want to say that i see the moment of labour
It is very amazing moment when u say a baby come from the vagina part by part , and the distended abdomen start to reduce in size step by step
It is great feeling for the mother and the doctors after a very hard effort from the mother
She forget all her suffer when she just saw her baby 💓
Ummmm 215lb and 5' 5" seems a bit much in my opinion unless if you are a body builder, however i wouldn't judge if you are still recovering from pregnancy at all
I am always conscious of my body weight, before or after giving birth to two kids. I like a one piece that covers most of my body. I am 5'2, 120. My kids are 3&5 now. At my heaviest I was 160, and my skinniest I was 108.
You're a mother now. You won't experience this issue the same way as others, so just embrace this new stage of your body's design and not compare it to anything else you see.
Look if your boyfriend doesn't mind and still loves you even though your body is different then before then he means it and he really doesn't mind because he still loves you
Some guys are really going to like it, other guys, not so much.
I think you should be proud of the baby and what it took to create new life
It's fine any man who can't appreciate his baby's mothers body when it's like that is despicable
Not a problem at all. I think other women will be 10x more likely to judge you, honestly.
well since most of you girls want the little fuck/bad boy, you should expect for him to lose all interest in you
Your confidence is all that matters
They say it is what it is
I don't care, just let me love you.
You're fine! Don't worry about that shit.
Stretch marks are earned.
Nobody thinks that it's attractive
