Proud To Be A Woman
Stretch marks are a small price to pay for the wonder of pregnancy.
Sometimes I look back on the pictures of me during my pregnancies, and think “how in the world could I have felt attractive when I looked like that?” I see the stretch marks and swollen feet and blotchy cheeks, and I cringe with embarrassment at having ever flaunted that bloated body. But then I remember the hours I spent examining my ever changing body with wonder. I remember running my fingers over my tight, strained skin, completely in awe of my body’s ability to stretch and conform to seemingly impossible limits in order to accommodate the growing life within. I felt like a living miracle, proof of the wonders God has created on this earth. I remember lying in bed at night and lifting up the sheet so I could let go and watch it waft gently down, draping across the curves of my breasts and my bulging stomach.

I know for a fact that stretch marks due to pregnancy can be avoided if you use special skin care products, I am not sure about the right name of the treatment, but Vichy ( French professional cosmetics) has one and so do other expensive brands.
