The women have created an Instagram page that helps them take on their new look.
They call their stretch marks tiger color, and cesarean scars – smiles and emoticons. Young mothers have created a page on the Internet where they tell how their body has changed after giving birth. “My lines are my life” – the name of the public on Instagram is translated from English.
“Scars adorn a man, and stretch marks on a woman’s body are traces of a struggle for a new life,” the page creators say. – The world accepts us through self-love. Stretch marks are actually cool battle scars! They are part of your story, part of your journey, proof that you have done something truly monumental.
Of course, rarely anyone in this public dares to post a photo of their face. There are no names and surnames – everything is published under a single account. And is it important? The main thing is that both readers and authors of posts find their outlet here. Some can calmly talk about what is painful, others see that they are not alone in their problems.
“I love my stretch marks and my lines. This page inspired me to take a picture of my body. These stretch marks have their own history. “
“During pregnancy, I was smeared with different oils and creams – nothing helped. I began to gain weight abruptly and by the end of my pregnancy weighed 85 kilograms. Every time I looked at myself in the mirror, I was hysterical, not knowing what to do with my stretch marks. She hid them, she was embarrassed to appear in front of her husband. But today, after your post, I realized: I just need to score on them and move on. I have my little joy, I love her madly! “
“I have stretch marks and a saggy belly due to the fact that I gave birth to three children. I wear and will wear a bikini because every stretch is my pride. All these traces show that I was pregnant, and then intensively lost weight. I love my body, and my husband, whose opinion is most important to me, says over and over again that I am the most attractive in the world. Be proud of your body! All these are not scars, but traces of your life path! “
“My stretch marks only brought me pain and self-doubt. When someone pointed at them, it became even more difficult for me. But one day, when my baby hugged me and said that I was the best and the most beautiful with him, I began to struggle with myself, I began to love them. “
“Someone, looking at this photo, will say: ‘Horror! Fu! “- but for me it is a memory of a happy moment. I will not dissemble, I shed a lot of tears, but thanks to my husband I fell in love with my lines. And when our kitten comes up, lies down on his tummy and kisses him, it feels like he says to me: “Thank you, mom!”
“I was very shy about my lines, but after seeing this project, I decided it was in vain. I did not overeat with rolls and began to crack. I gave birth to my little happiness, which is much dearer to me than a beautiful body. I do not urge you not to take care of yourself. I urge you to look at yourself differently. In the summer, only the lazy one on the beach did not look at me and did not bulge his eyes. I was hurt. And now I understand that I should have had more rest than thinking what the beer bellies would think of me. “
“This is my body at 23 years old. These scars mean nothing. When there is a chance to see your baby grow. I would give my life for a child, but God took pity and sent me home to my beloved son. “
“I will never forget how the doctors shouted: ‘Caesarean, urgent!’ These words: “You will give birth to a child, but already dead” … And the first cry of my daughter, alive and well. Thank you, Lord, for this ordeal and for this happiness, thank you for these scars. “
“Probably, it would be more correct to write“ My line about severe pain, loss ”. I lost my daughter two months ago. This line will probably remind me of this forever. Everything happened at the 29-30th week, bleeding began, and the child could not be saved. I would like to get pregnant in the near future and give birth to a healthy, strong baby, so that I no longer remember the sad, looking at my line. “
“These are my lines at 30. When at 23 I found out about my infertility, to say that it hurt is to say nothing. Because of this, the first husband left. What was my happiness when, at 29, I found out about pregnancy. It turned out that the wrong man should have been the father of my children. Now I am married, I have a son. And also my lines with a smile from cesarean. I am incredibly happy that I have them, but I might not have ”.
“I’m 25. Happy mother of two children. This is what happened to my breast after lactation. The daughter ate both breasts, and the son liked the left one more. And this is our result after breastfeeding. But even if we go back in time, I would still feed them both with breast milk. “
“I am almost 27 years old. The first child was born weighing 4,5 kg. The stomach cracked like a watermelon in the last month. I gained 22 kg during pregnancy and after giving birth fought with them for several years. After 5 years, she became pregnant a second time. And even though I’m all in stretch marks, sports and nutrition helped me burn fat after childbirth, my husband fell in love again, self-esteem grows, because I am a mother of wonderful babies, and stretch marks are like maternal medals. “
