My new “mom bod”

I think all women have, at some point in their lives, felt insecure about their body. BUT the insecurities that we feel post partum are almost incomparable. Even the women that “bounce back” to their pre-pregnancy weight right after having their baby see changes that no amount of dieting & exercise can fix. I’m talking about the sagging breasts, stretch marks & wider hips that now show you can & have carried a baby in your womb.

It is so hard to be accepting of this new body. You build a love/hate relationship with it. You love that your body was able to grow and nourish your children and you wouldn’t trade them for the word!! But you can’t help but think negative thoughts when you happen to glance in the mirror after taking a shower or trying on your old favorite pair of jeans that just won’t fit right anymore.

I wish that all mothers, including myself, were looked at in a different way than other women instead of putting us in the same category and expecting us to still look the same. I feel like post partum depression wouldn’t be such a problem either if we would stop looking at pictures of new mothers on social media that look like super models right after having their babies.
