”Your vajayjay does not look the same” – Kelly Rowland Shares Graphic Details About Giving Birth
Former Destiny’s Child member, Kelly Rowland, has revealed some things about child birth in the pages of her first book, ‘Whoa, Baby!: A Guide for New Moms Who Feel Overwhelmed and Freaked Out (and Wonder What the #*$& Just Happened).
The book which addresses motherhood, was written with her Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN) of more than 10 years, Tristan Bickman.
In a chat with USA Today, the doting mother of one said the disappearance of her toned tummy was the physical change that most surprised her.

“I just saw a cover that I did for Shape and then I’m looking in the mirror going, ‘Oh, my god this is not the same body. How did this happen?’ And, I had to just keep reminding myself that, ‘You had a baby, Kel.’ But I was hard on myself. I really was.
“Your vajayjay does not look the same for a very long time,” she told USA Today adding that “the world’s worst idea” had been her decision to hold up a mirror to her crotch after her son’s birth.
“When I finally caught a glimpse of the orifice that was causing me so much pain and sorrow, I almost screamed out loud. That bloody battlefield was my vagina? Was I going to look like that forever? Would Tim [Witherspoon, her husband] ever want to come near that nasty scene again?”
“But, I care about it. We go to get it all done up and trimmed and waxed and this and that and it’s all swollen and crazy and you’re just wondering, what just happened?”
So her advice to new mums is…
“Put away the selfie stick. Do not look in that region when you’ve just come home from the hospital, and definitely don’t capture the image on your cell phone for posterity. Just leave your vagina alone!”
Kelly is married to her man, Tim Witherspoon, and they welcomed their first child, Titan Jewell, together in 2014.

Awwwwww sweet Kelly.
motherhood is no beans
Very true about the vajayjay.
I had a very bad tear and then I was scared to poop.
I pooped successfully the first time after some days, though I had to spend a long time just taking it easy so I wouldn’t hurt myself. The second time, I was too hasty and then I pushed out an anal pile. Took a mirror to see what was going on and I was horrified.
Not easy being a woman.
