My son and daughter in law having a baby and so... all of my noted media also thinks I am having a baby... I am appalled that most of the messaging tells me I am pregnant and gaining weight is bad and that there is an Instagram group of women out there talking about NOT gaining weight
and keeping the weight off, I think we need to make a stand. Mothers, fathers,brothers, grandmothers and people out there .. lets give these women a break.

Stop it.

Seek these people put as they are brainwashing our girls, women and continually reinforce a false message...
Stop the airbrushing and gliding over the bonding, synthesising and natural pregnancy rhythm that is out there. That is more important than whether you gain a few Kg or Lbs.. Growing a baby is about positive love, nurture and that is the best you can co do for your baby. Isn’t that why you are there, to be a mother????
There is a wave of women annihilating other women and making them feel like shit because they gain a little weight in making their baby.

Stop.

Think.
Act kindly and with realism….. making a baby and bringing them up needs a village full of people … not a pile of insta/tiktok/generation ‘s’ People to erode their confidence and love X
Stop, think, be kind . Leave our girls / women alone.

That’s weird, I’ve very recently given birth and whilst I was served plenty of pregnancy/baby related content throughout the last year none of it focused on not gaining weight/weight loss during or even post pregnancy.
