Petite 33 Year Old, Mother of 2 in Need of Mommy Make over - Palo Alto, CA
Hi there! I'm scheduled to have a mommy make over...
Petite 33 Yr Old Mother of 2 Getting Mommy Make over in a Few Days
I'm 98lbs and 5 feet tall. I have two beautiful children ages 8 and 2. Both of my pregnancies were big, but the last one was simply huge for my petite frame. My baby weighed almost 10 lbs! The placenta alone was 5 lbs. As a result, I now have an umbilical hernia and diastasis that would benefit from getting repaired.
My biggest complain honestly is not the appereance (although it bothers me too), but the fact that I cannot lay down on my side (either side) without feeling like my guts are loose ????. I put a pillow on the side I'm laying down on for support, just like I did when I was pregnant. But I still feel a pull on the side I'm not laying down on. Not sure if I make sense, but it certainly makes me feel uncomfortable.
In the process of considering a tummy tuck (the only way to fix my diastasis), I decided to get breast augmentation as well. I have always been flat chested and after breastfeeding my babies, the little bit that I had, it's now gone! My nipples have also been stretched out so much that I'm also requesting nipple reduction. Might as well! My surgeon offered to do a bit of lipo on the waist so it looks like I'm having it all! Surgery is scheduled for Monday, Jan 04, 2016 at 7:30am with a 6:30am check in. I have childcare covered and my husband is also taking the first week of my surgery off to take care of me. I am taking a whole month off from work. I'm worried about my 2 year old and also anxious about surgery and the recovery process...

Congratulations on taking this step for yourself. I hope you find all the support and feedback you need in this community. It's great that you've lined up some childcare for right after surgery. Let us know how else we can help you prepare.

5 hours left!
I feel quite relaxed... Isn't that weird? I only have a few more hours before I have my surgery... Yet I'm calm as a clam! Lol
