Battle scars..

Two things that can leave a woman feeling depressed after her pregnancy - weight (not) loss and stretchmarks. The battle scars of pregnancy.

Every woman's body will change dramatically after childbirth. Even if you didn't have to go through pushing out the baby but went for a c-section instead like I did, you'll still not spared. I have ugly red stretchmarks which appeared after I gave birth.. I did not religiously apply stretchmark cream while I was preggy because I inspected my tummy often and did not see any stretchmarks at all... until the last few weeks of my pregnancy when some fine lines appeared.

NOw staring at the mirror can really make me depressed. SO hubby has decided to let me invest in a good stretchmark cream which was recommended by my Singapore Gyane. When i went to see her before coming over to the States, she had told me to get this cream called Stri-vectin. She said that she carries this fabulous product in her clinic from the States, but that it was too expensive for most of her patients to buy @ almost SIN$200 per bottle. She says it's THAT GOOD! So she had told me to buy it in the States instead cos it's cheaper.

So now is the time to put on my battle gear! The twins' (Lucas and Olivia) mother - Irene, and myself, we each bought one tube @ SIN$100+ each to try. Expensive investment! BUt I hope it works... 3 times a day for a min of 4 weeks and we're supposed to see results!
