“It can be particularly triggering when your body is going through major changes, such as B. pregnancy or postnatal recovery.
“So this is a reminder not to let companies confuse you so they can benefit from you, and to remember that it’s okay to love and respect our bodies the way they do today, for everything they do for us.
“It’s funny because I still feel like my body is a postnatal one, but now that he’s pregnant again, I’m getting praised again. “Wow! You’re beaming!”. It’s funny because nobody told me that after I was born.
Love is in the air: The mother-of-one sat on a walkway patio and watched the sharks and stingrays swim beneath.
“The only time I ever got any credit for my body after Alf was when I got sick and lost weight due to illness and stress.
“But I felt like my body really deserved praise and worship at the time – for going through the birth (what a miracle!), for recovering while keeping a tiny person alive and little had sleep.
“It annoys me that the focus in postnatal recovery is still on weight – shaming moms who don’t ‘jump back’, shaming moms who ‘jump back.’

“While society still has a long way to go, there is much we can do ourselves when negative thoughts creep in. Let’s remember that our bodies need time to heal. And that takes time.
“It can take a year for your bones to move again. that our body needs food and not restrictions. That our bodies were doing something wonderful.

“My postpartum recovery will be very different this time as I choose to have a cesarean rather than a vaginal birth, but I know I have to be kind and patient with myself.
“And to give my body time to heal. And don’t make me feel scammed by any company so they can benefit from me.❤️’
