My tummy was all but destroyed in the process of having DD2 (5yo). Old ladies crinkled front bum is the phrase that comes to mind.
Over the last few months I've been having some kind if MLC whereby I'm really loving shopping and getting back into fashion, but also starting to fret about being an old hag (40 next yr). I've been swimming and running every week since spring, but it's not made a huge amount of difference.
After reading all the threads on here about bikinis vs one pieces, I wanted to go to treat myself to a really well cut bikini before we came away. Didn't quite have the nerve. Got here, France is having a heatwave and I feel like a modest Victorian bather in my tankini. Ended up hunting down bikinis in the supermarket and wore one by the pool for the first time yesterday. That's it, the sky didn't fall in and no one fled the campsite screaming. DDs said I looked lovely and DH.. well, you don't want to know. I still have horrible saggy stretch marks that make me want to cry... But so do lots of other women my age and they don't seem so horrified at letting them see the light of day.
