Meanwhile, my stomach looks the flattest it ever has, despite the scars that paint a pattern across my abdomen. Nine in total (two hidden by the band of my bikini bottoms), the legacy of a lifetime of operations. I feel strong and healthy. My daughter now tells me she wants to be sporty like me and both my children love my scars, accepting them as an integral part of Mummy. That it took me so long to realise that the only person who really cared about my scars was me.
