Being ok with postpartum body

[Gina97]

How have other mums worked through accepting their postpartum bodies. I find that I cycle through being amazed by my body for what it was capable of and being grossed out by the way I look. How did others work through loving their new body?

Do you know by Holly McNish?

Wow, this made me tear up a little. Such a beautiful message. Thanks for sharing.

When did you have your last baby?
I think it's a process of accepting bodies just aren't the same after giving birth. Social media is the devil for this, putting out a lot of unreal exceptions.

Most people would look amazing if we had personal trainers, nannies, beauticians, hair stylists on tap and someone to tell us what to eat.

I am okay with my PP body. I was very lean and thin before my children but that was a different phase of my life. My body has grown, fed and birthed 3 children and gone through so much that I have a lot of respect for it. It's powerful and incredible. I also very successfully lost the weight after my first 2 kids. 28 and 25 kgs each time and I have another respect for my body for doing that. It's a bloody machine! It's so hard working! My third child just turned one and I am still 14 kg overweight but I admire my body and I know that slowly but surely I will lose the weight again. My husband thinks that I am God's gift on earth and very sexy!
