Search Results: stretch marks

A lot of women don't want to have children, or a lot of them, because a) pregnancy and childbirth is painful and b) it can change the body in many unpredictable and undesirable ways even if you can manage to retain a healthy bodyweight and fitness, e. g. working out does not reverse stretch marks or sagging skin.

Let's suppose that the pain is not an issue nor is the changes that pregnancy can cause to out bodies. Let's assume that giving birth is not as painful and the body looks the way it always did after childbirth. If that was the case, would you like to have more children that what you originally want?

I certainly feel like it's a yes for me. I love kids, wanna have some myself, and for now I want at least 2-3 kids but if childbirth and body changing was less of an issue I'd probably wanna have more, like at least 5-6.

Also, poll options apply even to people who don't want to have kids, because zero is also a number/quantity.

I have recently lost a lot of weight through a lot of hard work! But now I am left with stretch marks and loose skin, making me self-conscious about my body, especially when it comes to romantic relationships. I am scared, and worried that my body will be a turn off to anyone I decide to be intimate with.
