Ok, I'm going to ask you a question, and I want you to be totally honest. Recently, a friend of mine revealed that when she went into the hospital to have her first child, wherein she had a Cesarean, she was offered and took advantage of free liposuction while she was in there.
My pal said she figured they were in there already, so why not go for it? Within a month of having her baby, if that, she was back in her regular jeans. Meanwhile, here I am, going about it the regular old way of the vajayjay, and I got nothing but running fourteen miles a day trying to get my butt back to its original, non-Texas size.
My friend said, however, that when she had her second child (also C-section, not VBAC), she was not offered such a thing. When she asked the doctors and nurses looked at her like she was insane. Her first child was born in New York City, her second, upstate. Perhaps it was a city trend. Perhaps it was because she had a rather large baby in there. Perhaps it was because she had a scheduled C-section. Perhaps it was NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So. Were you offered a free bit of lipo when you went under the knife? 'Cuz if so, it might explain why all those Hollywood moms look pencil thin ten minutes after giving birth. And, it may be reason enough to sign up for an elective C-section!
1. I had to have a c-section but wasn't offered any lipo. Matter of fact, they really didn't offer anything. I tried to go natural only to find out that I needed to go for a c-section and no one was really sensitive to the situation. I was passed along like some slab of meat. I delivered in Orlando, FL.
Now, looking back in retrospect, I would probably have declined if they did offer but wished that I did. It's been two years since and I still haven't gotten down to my pre-preggers weight. I managed to lose 25 lbs with Weight Watchers and still counting but I envy those who bounce right back. I must have been skipped the bounce back after pregnancy gene.
