The belly is disfigured irrevocably! Photos of women who gave birth to twins
Multiple pregnancies are stressful for both the expectant mother and doctors. It is usually more difficult than expecting one baby. And it takes longer to deal with the consequences.
What should a woman look like after childbirth? Looking at the insta divas, it seems perfect. And who cannot shine a week after discharge with a flat stomach and slender hips — just lazy and gluttons. However, why chase glossy mirages?
So you can only make yourself nervous, nothing more. Instagram (an extremist organization banned in Russia) has a community for moms who, after giving birth, can’t get used to their own bodies.
Here, by posting photos of themselves on condition of anonymity, they can get what they need most — sympathy and support.
We chose three stories of mothers who gave birth to twins and did not hesitate to show their bodies. Which they can be proud of: let them be covered with stretch marks, but they coped, managed, endured and gave birth to healthy children.
“Pregnancy was very expensive for me” «I am 26 years old. My pregnancy was given to me very dearly — sweat and tears. I got married in 2013 and we immediately started planning for a baby. After a year of efforts, there was no result.
Then we went to the doctor and, having passed all the examinations, received a diagnosis of «immunological infertility» (incompatibility). They underwent treatment for almost a year and were able to almost completely extinguish immunity to each other’s bodies.
In August 2015, the long-awaited pregnancy began. But bleeding, a week in the hospital for preservation and emergency resuscitation … The pregnancy turned out to be ectopic, they barely saved me by removing the right tube. They gave me a year to get pregnant with one tube.
A year later, it became clear that nothing would come of it. Again, examinations, and, as a result, my husband has a very bad spermogram. It was then that I realized that I need to do IVF.
In the end, everything worked out on the first try. At 33 weeks I gave birth to my twin boys. And these are the best moments of my life!”
“My story is banal. A terrible scar left from appendicitis, cut out at 19 years old. Was on the verge, sewed very quickly and, as it turned out, crooked. At the age of 27 she gave birth to twins: she wore them up to 39 weeks, each was born at 3180 grams.
The belly was huge. After 9 years, she became pregnant again. And 8 months ago the youngest was born. Since the day before the birth, I have already got rid of more than 20 kilos, but my stomach requires surgery: severe diastasis.
In the photo, I strain my muscles, otherwise my stomach sticks out like during pregnancy. Now sports and nutrition help me to adjust the figure. And the belly is a reminder of wonderful pregnancies and the fact that I have magnificent daughters.
“I am 32 and I have three wonderful daughters — the eldest is 6 years old and twins are 7 months old. After the first pregnancy, she quickly returned to her previous shape, there were no stretch marks or excess weight. With twins, it’s more difficult.
A huge belly that grew, itched and cracked with incredible force. And what I just didn’t smear, and wore a bandage. Caesarean section at 36 weeks, babies were born weighing 2580 and 2465 grams.
As a result of twin pregnancy — a huge diastasis and torn skin on the abdomen. After childbirth, the stomach did not go away at all, the overstretched muscles did not hold anything. She wore a bandage, did exercises.
The stomach is more or less tightened and no longer looks like it was in the 6th month of pregnancy. I plan the operation when the children are 1.5 years old.
It will not be possible to correct the situation with exercises alone, but I want my flat and beautiful stomach back. I’m not shy about the scar from the COP, maybe I’ll remove it with a laser later, but stretch marks are a horror.”
