[ENG-SPAN] Cicatrices de la maternidad: el cuerpo post parto || Scars of motherhood: the postpartum body

avatar

Cuando se decide ser madre, se sacrifica todo; nuestros sueños, proyectos, comodidad, finanzas y tiempo. Lo que muy pocas madres admiten es el impacto que causa encontrarnos con que la hermosa maternidad ha dejado su rastro en nuestro cuerpo. Como todo lo que es nuevo, tiende a ser difícil procesar todos los cambios que sufrimos después de haber llevado esa pequeña vida dentro de nosotras y manera en que puede afectar nuestro autoestima y relaciones de ahora en adelante. Me he topado con mujeres que por lo general admiten que su cuerpo ha cambiado, pero no les gusta tocar el tema, solo afirman, bajan la cabeza denotando tristeza y suelen hablar de otra cosa. Pero, hay muchas, como yo, que deben admitir que les afectan mas de lo que tratan de demostrar.

When you decide to become a mother, you sacrifice everything: your dreams, projects, comfort, finances and time. What very few mothers admit is the shock of finding that beautiful motherhood has left its mark on our bodies. Like anything that is new, it tends to be difficult to process all the changes we go through after carrying that little life inside of us and how it can affect our self-esteem and relationships going forward. I have come across women who usually admit that their body has changed, but they don't like to bring up the subject, they just affirm, lower their heads in sadness and usually talk about something else. But, there are many, like me, who must admit that they are affected more than they try to show.

Debo admitir que cuando era joven estaba muy conforme con mi cuerpo. No conocía la celulitis, ni las estrías, mi abdomen era muy plano y mi senos estaban en su lugar. A esa edad jamás se me cruzo por la mente tener hijos, ya que conocía todos los cambios que eso acarreaba, de hecho, no quería tenerlos y esa era una de las razones mas fuertes. Disfrutaba mucho de tener un cuerpo esbelto; podía usar cualquier pieza de ropa sin preocuparme o podía ir a la playa sin esconderme. Sobretodo, mi autoestima era muy alta, cosa que repercutía de manera positiva en los demás aspectos de mi vida.

I must admit that when I was young I was very happy with my body. I had no cellulite, no stretch marks, my abdomen was very flat and my breasts were in place. At that age it never crossed my mind to have children, as I knew all the changes that this would entail, in fact, I did not want to have them and that was one of the strongest reasons. I enjoyed having a slim body; I could wear any piece of clothing without worrying or I could go to the beach without hiding. Above all, my self-esteem was very high, which had a positive impact on all other aspects of my life.



Cuando me enteré que estaba embarazada, no pude evitar pensar en el cambio físico por el que estaba a punto de pasar. Muchos sentimientos afloraron; preocupación, tristeza, desdicha, miedo. Sabia que no seria la misma. Era una de las cosas que estaban en la lista de los grandes problemas acerca de la maternidad, al menos para mi.
Cuando mi hijo nació, no tuve tiempo para preocuparme por ello, todo era de él. Me olvidé de mi, de mis cuidados y de las cosas que hacemos las mujeres para vernos mas lindas.

When I found out I was pregnant, I couldn't help but think about the physical change I was about to go through. Many feelings surfaced; worry, sadness, unhappiness, fear. I knew I would not be the same. It was one of the things that were on the list of big problems about motherhood, at least for me.
When my son was born, I didn't have time to worry about it, it was all about him. I forgot about myself, my care and the things we women do to make ourselves look prettier.

Cuando empecé a tener tiempo de mirarme en el espejo, ver cada parte de mi cuerpo, detallarlo y ver la transformación tan radical que este había sufrido odié lo que ví. Jamás me había sentido tan por el suelo como mujer, de pasar a lo que era a ser lo que era me causó un mezcla de emociones negativos que termine llorando. Mi abdomen, producto del estiramiento de la piel se lleno de estrías por completo empezando a 10cm por encima de mi ombligo hasta las piernas, como el barro en el suelo cuando el agua se esta secando, grietas largas y entrelazadas, de igual manera las estrías llegaron a ciertos lugares: brazos, pantorrillas, senos y trasero. Estaban por todos lados, ni una parte quedo sin grietas. Mis senos se agrandaron y la gravedad hizo lo suyo, sin mencionar toda la piel extra que quedó. Más la cicatriz de la cesárea donde se divide el abdomen y la linea de la ropa interior. Mis caderas ya no eran las mismas; habían tomado anchura. En mis muslos, en la parte de las entrepiernas comenzaban un sin fin de estrías que terminaran a la mitad de mi pantorrilla. Aquello fue difícil de aceptar, no me quedó de otra, no es algo que podamos sustituir de manera inmediata.

When I started to have time to look at myself in the mirror, see every part of my body, detail it and see the radical transformation it had undergone, I hated what I saw. I had never felt so down as a woman, from what I was to what I was caused me a mixture of negative emotions that I ended up crying. My abdomen, product of the stretching of the skin was filled with stretch marks completely starting 10cm above my belly button to my legs, like mud on the ground when the water is drying, long and intertwined cracks, likewise the stretch marks came to certain places: arms, calves, breasts and ass. They were everywhere, not a single part of me was without cracks. My breasts got bigger and gravity did its thing, not to mention all the extra skin that remained. Plus the C-section scar where the abdomen split and the underwear line. My hips were no longer the same; they had taken on width. On my thighs, in the crotch area, there were endless stretch marks that ended in the middle of my calf. That was hard to accept, I had no choice, it is not something we can replace immediately.

Cabe destacar que mi nuevo cuerpo había hecho estragos en mi vida personal. Jamás volví a usar traje de baño de dos piezas al ir a la playa, trato de taparme con lo que sea porque están en todo mi cuerpo. He cambiado mi guardarropa; mi baja autoestima al respecto no me deja lucir las prendas que solía usar. Han quedado en una gaveta enterradas para siempre. Al igual que las actividades cotidianas, mi vida de pareja se ha visto afectada; es imposible exponerme a su mirada sin nada de ropa, no me lo permito, aunque el dice que sigo estando hermosa, no soy capaz. Siento la necesidad de esconderme para siempre, no hay manera que vuelva a ser la de antes.

It should be noted that my new body had wreaked havoc on my personal life. I never wore a two-piece swimsuit again when going to the beach, I try to cover up with anything because they are all over my body. I have changed my closet; my low self-esteem about it doesn't let me wear the clothes I used to wear. They have been left in a drawer buried forever. As well as my daily activities, my life as a couple has been affected; it is impossible to expose myself to his gaze without any clothes, I do not allow myself to do so, although he says that I am still beautiful, I am not capable of it. I feel the need to hide forever, there is no way I can go back to the way I was before.

Quizás se pregunten porqué no tomé las precauciones para evitar las temidas estrías: creanme que lo hice. No hubo ungüento, crema hidratante o lo que sea que me recomendaran que no usara para evitarlo. Simplemente mi piel se estiró demasiado, es algo casi inevitable. Seguí todos los consejos al pié de la letra, solo que nada funcionó, tenía que ser así. Algunos para darme aliento me decían que desaparecían, nunca les creí. Debo enfocarme en lo que puedo remediar: la piel extra. Con un niño, el trabajo y la casa se me ha hecho algo engorroso sacar tiempo para los ejercicios, pero dicen que el que quiere puede, sigo trabajando en ello.

You may wonder why I didn't take precautions to avoid the dreaded stretch marks: believe me I did. There was no ointment, moisturizer or whatever they recommended that I didn't use to avoid it. My skin simply stretched too much, it's almost inevitable. I followed all the advice to the letter, only nothing worked, it had to be that way. Some people to encourage me told me that they would disappear, I never believed them. I have to focus on what I can remedy: the extra skin. With a child, work and home, it has become somewhat difficult to find time for the exercises, but they say that those who want to can do it, I keep working on it.

Luego de mirarme al espejo y ver mi cuerpo, detesto lo que se refleja en él. Trato de hacerlo ya vestida porque al menos así todavía es tolerable para mi. Sin embargo, nunca me arrepentiría de ello, no querría mi viejo cuerpo de vuelta, porque gracias a él tengo a lo más preciado que una mujer puede llegar a tener: mi bebé. Ha valido la pena el sacrificio de transformar mi cuerpo, en el llevé y mantuve a salvo a mi bebé por 9 meses. Sigo en el proceso de aprender a amarlo y estar orgullosa de él, de ver todas esas marcas con felicidad porque por ellas tuve la dicha mas grande.

After I look in the mirror and see my body, I hate what is reflected in it. I try to do it already dressed because at least that way it is still tolerable for me. However, I would never regret it, I wouldn't want my old body back, because thanks to it I have the most precious thing a woman can have: my baby. It has been worth the sacrifice of transforming my body, in which I carried and kept my baby safe for 9 months. I am still in the process of learning to love him and be proud of him, to see all those marks with happiness because of them I had the greatest joy.

Notice many "new users" on Hive? Not many, like this place is a disease. No outside communities bringing in new comers. No other sites having many links or no links to any articles from Hive on sites that show professional interests they view as noteworthy to a profession or hobby. Hive articeles are rare on reddit.com. Wouldnt people post on reddit.com with links to their articles attracting their own new following and groups? No crypto forums acknowledge Hive exists as a place to be either. Ever seen a person asking for support show a way to give support with HIVE listed as a supporting wallet address? Is there a world address on Hive for countries made more unfortunate because of Hive? Would a large Hive holder or large earner of Hive donate a LARGE amount of Hive to help support Ukraine? What? Support something thing that could attract unwanted media attention? Nothing to see here......I dont get out much though.

People are hiding exposure to Hive. People either play dumb, could be scared or intimidated, mislead or dont beilieve it. Maybe just not electronically cultured enough to know. Who knows. Its mostly fake with fake attention paid for by people with ill intentions as many do gloating in their own groups special mindset. Such a small town here to support this kind of high pay. Who is buying Hive tokens with no notable new user base coming in? People trying to buy this place as a grooming ground on the sly. Articles that arent in the interests of their own goals and views dont get much attention. I dont see many high paid articles I would put on a real news sites or link to as noteworthy. Be part of one of their groups and they groom you. They buy comment and article writers in ways that keep their lies hidden. Here to take our FREEDOMS completely in treason as the sacks of shit they are.

Most interest groups and businesses have discord rooms on the side because they wont talk here or more able to teach views there to shill out of public view. They can do odd stuff to you in discord rooms they cant do here. I’ve seen people get mugged and shaken down in discords, be careful while visiting new discords, even if they are a business. They shut down the discord room along with all of the evidence of their crimes the group around @fyrstikken and his discord server @steemspeak. They also hide behind skirts there while on the creep like they do in the new ones they are in.

The operators doing V2K with remote neural monitoring want me to believe this lady @battleaxe is an operator. She is involved in the same discord groups around @fyrstikken and friends. Her discord is Battleaxe#1003. Shes in some groups with seemingly detached characters that dont even acknowledge the others in the group, looking oddly staged. She starts projects and does nothing with it or the delegations after its used to sway people. Like @steempowertwins does<------fake along with her @teamgood <------fake. No substance in her comments and has a following that adores her for what? Life coach she is not nor is she insightful with any meaningful skills to follow. Ruler of pixie dust maybe? I would like for someone to show me but probably wont out fear maybe? @fyrstikken groups around him down voted me into censored and not viewable on my accounts as soon I told what they were doing.

I cant prove @battleaxe is the one directly doing the V2K and RNM. Doing it requires more than one person at the least. It cant be done alone. She cant prove she is not one of the ones doing V2K because she cant and could care less. I guarantee she knows this is going around and still wont prove it because she cant. Many of us here can prove what they have been doing to survive the past 5 years. What does she live off of? It definitely isnt in public view here.

I was drugged in my home covertly, it ended badly. They have been trying to kill me using RNM with applied V2K mental games while revealing as many accessories to the crime as they can. I bet nobody does anything at all. Ask @battleaxe to prove it. I bet she wont. Pretty serious accusations to just blow off and leave the crypto community hanging in fear of this danger.

They want me to believe the V2K and RNM in me is being broadcast from her location. And what the fuck is "HOMELAND SECURITY" doing about this shit? I think stumbling over their own dicks maybe? Just like they did and are doing with the Havana Syndrome. They should start by looking at the communications between the top witnesses of Hive and the connection to @fyrstikken groups. Google his fucking name and see where his other interests lie around at least once maybe? The connections between @fyrstikken groups and all the exchanges built for Hive? Bet that would reveal some crazy ball less nutty shit. Homeland security should start preparing for their own incarcerations seeing how sloppy this was done. Patriot act my ass. Think we are really fools? Bad position your not getting out of. Dont be last to blow the whistle. Who will protect you?

People in and around @fyrstikkens groups are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 long torturing years and counting. That is a long time to wait for someone to die.

What would you say while having a gun pointed at your head from an undisclosed location? Have people find it? My hands are tied while they play like children with a gun to my head. Its a terrorist act on American soil while some yawn and say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and why nothing is being done. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control that have ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers prevented from telling the truth from being treated as criminals? Not to mention civilians we let our leaders treat the same way. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism-terrorism
