Before my 3 precious angels came along, I had a body to boast. The curves were at the right places. I could wear a bikini and strut on the beach wearing it proudly. The skin around my belly was flawless and devoid of stretch marks. My waist measurement was only 25 inches and I was a mere 42kg, wearing XS clothes. I could wear sexy outfits and party all night. I had all the quiet and free time in the world on my off days and had total peace of mind at home. I could even go jogging twice a day, an hour each session. But when I had all the quiet time and peace in the world, I craved to hear cries of babies. I craved for some kids’ chatter in the house. The sight of babies and young kids touched the pit of my heart. But it wasn’t easy for us. We went through a long and windy road to get to where we are today.
Today, the stretch marks on my belly, the flabby belly that I carry and a waist line expanded to 27 inches are all road maps to my journey – my journey to have 3 angels. Though I no longer have a curvaceous body and a flawless and flat belly to flaunt, I am nevertheless one very contented woman, albeit I am still trying to remove those stretch marks from my belly. Though I had used many types of anti-stretch marks cream throughout my 3 pregnancies, those stubborn stretch marks inevitably formed. After
Tattoo on your belly. What a cool and funky way to cover your stretch marks!
Isn’t motherhood oh-so-wonderful??!! heehee
I have stretch marks too and I don’t really pay them any attention. Never wore a bikini and frankly, they don’t even make them in my size! Anyways, I heard that Bio-oil has been shown to help fade stretch marks. I remember seeing them in KL, so have a look if interested.
Chris, yes I hv heard of Bio Oil too. I’ll just let my stretch marks be as they are not that obvious and I don’t intend to wear bikini anymore haha.
