You are looking at my personal picture of my grotesque stomach, November 24th, 2001. This picture was taken almost
3 months after the stillbirth of my 3rd child (see links for more information). He was born by emergency csection, which obviously
included a large vertical incision that has changed the shape and look of my abdomen forever. I'm realistic and don't expect
to have a pretty belly after 3 babies (#1 & #2 were vaginal deliveries), but the scar....well, it speaks for itself. The
smaller upper scars are from having my gall bladder removed on November 2nd, 2001.
On this site I hope to form a collection of csection scar pictures. If you would be willing to share your picture, anonymously
if you'd like, please email it to me. I guess this site has no real purpose, maybe it will make someone who has a good csection
scar feel a little better about themselves, when they see how bad they could look or another bad scar momma wouldn't feel
so alone... Who knows!
My husband tells me it looks like I have a *butt* in the front now also, and well, it kinda does....it's gross, I hate
it and the reason why it's there...if I didn't laugh at his uncanny observation I'd have to cry, and I've done enough of that
lately.
