Hello there 'hi_it_is_me123',
Pregnancy is a beautiful thing. And the power of the female body to transform itself to hold, carry and birth a human child is a wonder to behold. If a man is lucky enough to be with a woman who loves him enough to receive him, become pregnant, carry his and her child, and endure the birthing, then he should look upon her body with utmost admiration, adoration and love. Now there are methods used by many women to reduce the aftereffects on the skin caused by stretching during pregnancy. And you can look into those things. But don't let your fears deny you the most beautiful gift the female body can give - the gift of life. Any man who body shames a woman for that doesn't deserve her! I hope this helps lend another perspective on the miraculous beauty of the journey a woman's body takes during pregnancy.
This kind of loose skin is extremely rare - meaning this is an extreme example of what can happen. Most women do get stretch marks, and most have a bit of a belly pooch, but it's nothing like this. I'd bet this result occurs in less than 1 in 100,000 child-bearing women - it's not like 2 in 10 women will look like this after a pregnancy.
You are freaking yourself out by looking at the very worst extremes. That's not smart or healthy.
They would be ok with it as they can't control it. It just happens. What can he do? Leave the woman because of this?
A woman is a woman and is still attractive to him even with the lose skin.
I have never been pregnant but I have heard that you can reverse the lose skin with time by fasting.
Don't be scared of pregnancy as it's something that can't be avoided. I was scared a lot all my life and still am from it. But what is worse is going through that and other artificially injected pain that people give to themselves.
I would be very upset if the Person I was with didn’t accept this. To the guys that don’t: your lady is probably already feeling bad about her body , her lack of freedom etc. please do not think loose skin from pregnancy is gross. It’s a part of pregnancy , and body changes are already something we are self conscious about during those times

Wow, it's not that bad... Actually, I'm amazed how quickly the female body recovers after such trauma. We have two kids and in neither case was the skin sagging that bad. My wife had stretch marks but hardly an "eye sore". The hardest thing was vaginal delivery can tear the skin between the vagina and asshole. That happened on our first requiring stitches. I took two weeks from work and did everything for my wife. The labor process was tough (at least for me to watch) when it came to the pushing but that phase didn't last too long. Definitely get an epidural, that was a huge help for my wife and made labor much more manageable.
You'll care less about what you look like, etc when your baby is born. Nothing will prepare you for that feeling when you see their face and hear their cries for the first time. I'm a pretty emotionless guy but god, I cried uncontrollably when both my kids were born.
If he's not then he doesn't deserve to be a father. I wouldn't build a family with a man who was so superficial lol
Like 99% of women get saggy stretched out skin from pregnancy. The stretch marks will fade somewhat and if you workout you can reduce the stretchiness of the skin to some degree. Also if you want to (and can afford it) you can have surgery to remove excess skin.
Most tummy's go back to normal. Sometimes there are some light stretch marks.
I've never seen anything as bad as that photo. What happened her her stomach? Did she gain 100 pounds and have a 22 pound baby?
Something more than just a standard pregnancy must have happened.
Ya I want kids so if this happens it is what it is. It will get better with diet, exercise, and supplements. All by the way are things that should already be going on so we can live a healthy long life together. I'd never stop loving her and once you have a deeper emotional connection you will get mental stimulation for sex more than physical.
I have 3 kids and my tummy is no where near as bad as those pics. It's all about genetics like if your mom had strech marks you will likely have them too so maybe ask your mom about if pregnancy was hard on her body or not to see how it will be for you
I don't like it. But not out of choice. Like some things you just don't decide on, like whether you like cilantro.
It's definitely something I'd overlook though.
Having a loving wife and child is 100x better than a wife who has perfect skin.
As far as remedies, I've heard something about essential oils preventing stretch marks, but you'll need to do your own research on that.
With loose skin, ironically I think the solution may be to gain enough weight to fill out the skin, then lose it at a slow enough pace that allows your skin to toghten again. (Skin can only tighten so fast, which is why fast weight loss leaves so much loose skin)
You can lose hair and teeth and eventually have saggy skin from a single fight as well. If a guy won't be with you because of something that is natural and can be fixed then they are not worth your time. But if you are not willing to work on it afterwards and let yourself just fall apart then him having desires isn't wrong.
This has been worrying me as well. The more I learn about pregnancy and giving birth the less inclined I am to be pregnant. You may be able to fix these belly’s by tummy tuck which is becoming more and more common and affordable as time goes on.
I don’t think that stuffs common, my aunt got pregnant with 6 kids and she doesn’t have saggy skin. As long as your diet goes back to normal after your pregnancy you’ll most likely lose the weight quickly
How many pregnant women have all of the nutrition they need? many are given poor advice by Doctors since they do not know nutrition and fear it. For example, ask a Doctor about iodine and he will shriek in fear... but a deficiency can cause cretinism in a child, and sufficient amounts can make a baby smarter. Stretchmarks... those are all related to collagen levels. Most people are deficient, and I can almost guarantee no Doctor will address this in any way when talking to pregnant women.
If she had stretch marks it wouldn’t bother me at all for some women it can’t be avoided but stay hydrated and use coco butter or a good lotion to try and prevent it plus not getting pregnant too early. I’ve known plenty of moms that did natural child birth and didn’t have stretch marks so it’s very possible and any guy that’s gonna trip over a woman that bares his children having stretch marks isn’t worth keeping
In all honesty. I could be wrong but I think this happens when she also gains a lot of fat while pregnant. Which could be her own genetical response when it comes to hormones.
But if legit all she ate was junk food throughout the whole pregnancy I would be pretty pissed off.
Not just cause that was more than likely why she has loose skin, but also the baby would be very unhealthy due to the food it pulled nutrients from has little to no nutritional value
My mother told me she never read anything about pregnancies, because she knows she can get scared, and either way she will be pregnant. She has 3 kids, still married to my father and they love each other. What's important is the mother to be happy so the baby can be happy.
I would hope I'd be OK with it. I think I would.. I mean I love her at that point right. It'd be pretty unreasonable to expect to be with someone forever and not expect them to change now wouldn't it..
I expect changes to happen. All that would bother me is if she tries to hide it. It's not like I won't eventually develop a dad bod.
Time, healthy living and skin care can prevent some of it and reduce any which occurs.
I used to be fat so I have stretch marks of my own, I'd remind her that I have them to so she wouldn't feel alone. Then take her out or something (this is if I would notice she's feeling bad about it)
That's one of several reasons I never wanted kids. Thankfully I can't anymore. Screw that.
Don't care. She is my wife and I love her regardless.
Hey, she since she would get saggy stomach skin because of me (us) I wouldn't be in a position to complain. All I could and would do is to support the mother of our child.
These things happen no man should worry about a women with skin like that after a baby and another thing a presious gift has joined the world so the saggy skin is a good saggy uve gave birth and your child has left u feeling good
