Today I feel like i'm not ready. I mean I
curretly do modelig in the miami and tampa
markets. I would have to give up my
passion. And now i'm booked for jobs that
I will have to cancel on and that is
horrible for my career. Committing to
something then backing out it hurts my
agency as well.I stand the chance of
having my body change in such a drastic
way. I mean what if I need a c-section.
I'm scared of getting stretch marks. I'm
not yet married although my boyfriend and
I have been together for two years I just
always wated to be married first. The i'm
only 22 which is way to youg to be having
babies. I'm just so scared of my future
today. It's all I can think about. Am I
really ready? I'm affraid of ot having
enough support. My mother passed whe I
was 19, my father is estranged. My
boyfriend owns his own business so he
works alot. Sometimes 12-13 hour days. I
just feel kinda of alone today.
Scared.Confussed.Emotional.Helpless.Worrie
d.Needy.Unperpared.
I pray but that doesn't even comfort me
today. :cry:

Welcome to the wonderful, and not so
wonderful, world of pregnancy hormones.
You will go through periods like this.
Periods of doubting, worry, of being
scared. It is all normal. The best thing
to do is to find yourself a support
network of people who you can talk to
about these feelings.

I Have the Same Problem..kinda Posted: 03-06-06 16:24pm
I'm only 23 and i'm about 25 wks pregnant.
I also do some modeling here and there,
and my feonce(not married either) works
out of state monday-saturday and he works
like 70 hrs a week so when I do get to see
him he's dead tired. There are a few
places that love to have mommy-to-be
models. Just think of it as being a great
thing...Thats what I do and I deffinatley
wasn't ready for a baby!!! I use
shea..Coca butter so I don't get stretch
marks and if you would need a c-section
its not that noticable cause its below the
bellybutton I believe. It's all good
don't worry...Good luck

Hun..You can get back in shape after
pregnancy...And whats more important ur
modeling or your baby...Even if you have a
csection, the scars now a days are tiny
and down by ur pubic hair line..And they
fade too...So don't get down it will all
be okay

I am 23 and 22 weeks preg, my husband and
I wanted to wait another 5 years but
because of a medical condition we had to
have a baby now or never. He will
probably be our only child, and we are so
blessed...
Even with all that, I am very short and
have narrow hips. My hips have started
spreading and I have some stretch marks on
my ass and back, and when I first noticed
them I cried all day. My husband told me
I am gorgeous and that our son is worth it
all, and after awhile I really got over
it...At least my body is able to do this
miracle that we weren't even sure would be
possible, and if I have a few battle scars
in the end, I will be proud of them! But
it took a long time for me to accept these
changes in my body...
No matter how beautiful you are now, looks
do fade...But a child is forever. A
legacy to live on...Keep your chin up!
Take care

The best way to avoid stretch marks is to
only gain the alloted weight assigned by
your .Dr. (i.E 25-35 lbs) don't be like
me and gain almost 70!!!!!! Yikes!!!!
You skin can handle only sooo much
stretching but if you go past it's limits,
no amount of cocoa butter will help you!
I study the skin and it's disorders so
it's not like i'm just talking out of my
@ss. Esthiology is very important in
life, expecialy during pregnancy!
Good luck....I'm sure you'll be fine!!
Emotionally and physically!! When you hit
your 3rd trimester...Everything will
change!!!
