Your body. Most people know that pregnancy and childbirth puts an enormous toll on a woman's body. So hear the positives and negatives.
Moms always rant about how amazing the feeling of being pregnant is. Their claims : hair grows fast and comes in thicker, skin glows, you get the baby bump and everyone bows down to you for being such a saint. You know, shit like that.
But...there are WAY more cons than "pros" (which aren't really all that great in the first place)
Of course, stretch marks - it will take forever for them to fade, and even if they do fade, they will still be visible. They're scars of childbearing, and you can't get a refund.
Your skin and hair improves when you're pregnant (sorry If I'm annoying you by talking to the reader as if they were pregnant) because of all the estrogen your body produces. Not because your baby is magical. Annnnd, when you have the baby, the sudden loss of high estrogen levels will result in breakouts and hair breakage and loss. Good for 9 months.
Another thing, your vag is pretty much ruined. Before you eve have the thing, it starts deteriorating. After the baby, it will hang loose like sleeve of wizard. The muscles will be stretched out and loose from the birth, sometimes it will get to the point where you develop the condition that causes your cervix to slowly drop because it's not supported by the muscles. Some women think that it's your vagina falling out of your body, but its not. That's fucking terrifying. Worse things happen to it though. Episiotomies, are probably painful. They're cutting the most sensitive part of your body to accomodate the babys safe birth. Imagine taking a scalpel to the spaces between your fingers, or that weird thing that attaches the top lip to the top gums. Gross. So I guess when I was born, I didn't want to leave, so I held on? If that makes sense. Sorry mom! But I was a baby. I think it would be weird to ask her if its back to normal after that birth.
Comment? ( or I'll ruin your vagina.)
