I had an a over a year ago and still see the changes in my body. I don't know why everyone says there couldn't possibly be a difference after only a few weeks, but then when I read on miscarriage people have permanent changes after a short time. I don't think your body knows the difference between these two occurrences so why are people so quick to say I'm imagining things?
I just got through the hardest 12 months of my life going through what I can only describe as a grief and depression that I had no control over. I feel better now but I am still struggling to come to terms with the physical changes in my body, as well as ongoing issues with my appetite that started during the pregnancy.
It must sound so vain but I'm really struggling to come to terms with this protrusion on my lower belly. I was at a lower weight last year , with basically so body fat, and it was still there. My stomach was one of my favourite features about myself, but now I hate it and how it affects my overall appearance and how I look in clothes. I also have more fat in my hips, something a friend said she also had after abortion, but I am not as bothered about that. I am really struggling to reframe things and accept and would love some advice.
Especially since one reason I made the decision was because I didn't want my life as I knew it to change. But it did anyway and I can never go back physically and mentally. I hate the feeling that my body turned into a baby making facility and never returned back to have it was, and the guy left unscathed and probably doing better than ever (saying this I had always wanted a family eventually). Why does this protrusion happen?
Edit: I have been quite open and accepting about my body changing as time goes on but it's just this I cannot get through!
