For ten years the woman tried to get pregnant. Now that everything has worked out, she cannot look at herself in the mirror without crying.
We have already talked about the My Lines community on Instagram. There, on condition of complete anonymity, women share the most intimate: they tell and show how their bodies have changed after pregnancy and childbirth. Stretch marks, scars, loose muscles, pounds gained, sagging breasts … But you will not find a single replica like “if I knew, I would never have gotten involved” here.
But even against the background of other stories, the story of Olga, the mother of triplets, is striking. “Hey. This is how the once flat and toned tummy looks like after triplets … ”- she signed a photo taken six months after giving birth.
The girl did not twist her soul about her tight tummy. Olga didn’t get too much, keeping her slender figure. But not the belly.
“We often went in for sports with my husband. Now he continues to study, but I can’t, ”she almost cries.
During pregnancy, Olga’s belly was simply huge. First, the skin tore, forming terrible stretch marks. Muscles ripped after them.
“The doctors said that my belly was like the head of a jellyfish. The result of a triple pregnancy is grade 3 diastasis, hernias, stretch marks, ”says Olga.
Because of stretch marks, the young mother is not worried. “I don’t plan to walk with a bare belly,” she dismisses. But the belly was blown out of the ball into an “apron”. It looks awful. All attempts to find a new dress for themselves end in tears: sellers offer clothes for growth, believing that Olga is pregnant.
“A complete abdominoplasty with liposuction and removal of hernias is required. But there is no money for it yet, ”Olga shrugs.
Doctors billed the girl with a preliminary bill of 290 thousand. The amount for a large family, and even with a mortgage, is absolutely overwhelming.
“I don’t make a tragedy out of this, but it interferes with life, of course. Not only is it ugly aesthetically, but also pains torment. But children are the most precious thing I have! I waited for them for 10 years and gave birth exactly on my thirtieth birthday! ” – says the young mother.
As a result, the subscribers of My Lines decided to organize a fundraiser for Olga. “Yes, if each one gives a hundred rubles, we will collect it!” – not indifferent mothers threw a cry. But Olga, it seems, is no longer important.
“Thank you for support. So many warm words, so much sympathy – I read, and just covers, ”she wrote.
By the way, some inhabitants of the community advised Olga to go in for sports, do a vacuum massage, wear a bandage and sleep on her stomach – and everything, they say, will take it off. We asked a specialist what can actually restore the stomach with diastasis.
– The problem with diastasis is not that the muscles are flaccid, but that there was a discrepancy between them. A strong degree of diastasis, when there is a serious muscle divergence, requires exclusively surgical intervention. At the initial stage, you can still try to increase the muscles by pumping and vacuum massages, but when they have already dispersed 5 cm from each other, this can be dangerous infringement of the intestines, prolapse of the pelvic organs and other complications. In ambiguous situations, I always advise you to get a second expert opinion.
