Ashamed to be naked

Q

I’m finding it difficult to show my body in front of my partner. We have three kids aged 8, 4 and 2. I had diastasis recti, an abs separation after pregnancy, as my third baby was 10lb!

It’s better than it was and I’ve also lost 2st. I’m just not feeling confident about getting my belly out any more.

First of all, as this is a medical issue, see your GP to make sure you’re healing as you should be, flower.

As for your body confidence issues, remind yourself that your body is an amazing, beautiful instrument that birthed three amazing children.

Stop listening to your inner critic, petal. And be proud of your body. It’s got you where you are today.

I guarantee that your partner won’t even notice. You know what blokes are like!
