Chaos: Don't Stress, Undress

Bringing life into this world is a feat that we as a society take for granted as some sort of common place miracle, whether of god or evolution, while ignoring the steep cost to a woman's body. The price was unexpectedly higher than I anticipated. And, a decade+ later I felt like the mob enforcer of womanhood was knocking on my abs telling me to pay up or live with innumerable issues for the rest of my life.

My 5 hour surgery ended up taking 8 hours. My scars, larger, and more numerous than initially planned. Someday they'll fade to white. Someday I won't give them a second thought. Someday, someday, someday...but for now they're a garish reminder that doctors & insurance viewed my body as disposable, and anything to do with motherhood was par for the course. I found my own surgeon, paid out of pocket, just to have a chance at a better quality of life. Worth it.

The scars bore a beautiful outcome. They are to be treasured.
 
Once upon a time, I didn’t like my C-section scars. I think I saw them as something they took from me rather than giving me the two best people in my life.

When I got pregnant with my son I so wanted to give birth naturally. The scariest day of my life was sitting in that hospital room and seeing his heart rate disappear off of the monitor.

I had my daughter a year and a half later and after hearing all of the risks with a natural birth without giving the scar tissue enough time to heal, I opted for another C-section.

I’ve been told I didn’t actually give birth since they were cut out of me and I should’ve taken the risks even if it could’ve caused them and/or me major health issues or our lives.

I love those scars now and see my babies forever etched on my skin.

Honestly though, it's one of the more inconspicuous C-section scars I've seen. That said, that line is proof you'll do what is right for your babies, and that's a beautiful thing.
 
It’s abhorrent to me that anyone would have the temerity to say something that awful and flat out wrong to you about you, your children and tribulation you endured to bring them into the world. Like MMA said, that subtle line is all the evidence anyone could need of your love and devotion to them. You are beautiful and I adore how you phrased it, your babies are forever etched on your skin. Thank you immensely for sharing that with us.

I love the way you view your scars. And you are right. The scars will always be with you as a reminder of two precious gifts.

And your body is even more beautiful for it.
 
And considering that the reddit link takes you to a post from two years ago when she claims to be 18 in her profile on Lit…come on folks-if it seems too good to be true…🤣

Also-i don't know you but I kind of love you for your commitment and dedication to the cause!

Well, I love all that you share, so I guess this is what I can offer.
