I wanted to feel comfortable, and sexy, and beautiful again. But I am reclaiming this body, I am putting myself first for the first time ever. This is the same body that had birthed my 5 beautiful boys and 1 gorgeous girl, nothing will ever change that.

I got a tummy tuck, because I am not some kind of a baby factory whose body’s only purpose is child-rearing. No amount of gym-work and supplements could restore my pre-pregnancy body, don’t believe all these fake-fluencers who seem to have bounced back 2 weeks post partum. Mother being one of them, but being a mother is not everything that I am, and it will never be. I had struggled with body issues ever since I was a child, I never really had the opportunity to accept myself fully as I am, and I am many things. It had hosted quite a few babies over the years, but now it is going to be solely mine, and mine alone. It belongs to me, not to my children, not to my baby daddies, not to my husband- just me.

I had struggled realising this for many, many years, but now I am sure of it. My body had given me 6 wonderful children, and I’m thankful for each and single one of them, but I do not want any more surprise babies. I’ve been pregnant pretty much non-stop since I was 16. I’m done having children, and although my husband wants another one, he respects my decision. The reason for both is pretty much the same, I wanted to. Pretty big life update, for two main reasons, I had gotten my tubes tied, and I got a tummy tuck.
