Jak naprawdę wygląda ciało kobiety po ciąży? Idealny obraz kreowany w mediach odchodzi powoli do lamusa. Teraz w sieci rządzą kobiety, które nie wstydzą się pokazywać prawdy.

Na pamiątkę po ciąży większość kobiet dostaje nowe ciało z dodatkowymi kilogramami, rozstępami i rozciągniętą skórą. Kobietom po urodzeniu dziecka trudno jest przyzwyczaić się do nowej roli, jaką pełnią. Sytuacji nie polepszają celebrytki, kreujące nierealny obraz ciała po porodzie oraz porady pojawiające się z każdej strony, jak schudnąć, by wyglądać tak, jak wcześniej. Przecież dopiero wtedy będziesz szczęśliwa, prawda?

Prawdą jest, że pomimo diet, ćwiczeń i odpowiednich kosmetyków ciało po porodzie już nigdy nie będzie takie samo, jak kiedyś. W końcu zrobiło świetną robotę, przyniosło na świat nowe życie. Dlatego kobiety postanowiły więcej nie wstydzić się swojego wyglądu i pomarszczonej skóry, lecz być z nich dumne. Publikując w mediach społecznościowych zdjęcia swoich brzuchów zaraz po ciąży i długo później, chcą wesprzeć się nawzajem i pokazać, że aby być szczęśliwą i pewną siebie kobietą, nie trzeba podążać za wykreowanym kanonem piękna.

Zobacz zdjęcia brzuchów dumnych mam. Pomarszczone, z rozstępami, ale wciąż piękne.

Brenda, „Mam dolinę linii odwzorowaną na moim brzuchu, góry rozciągniętej skóry pozostawione na mojej środkowej części, błyskawice na bokach i plecach, wszystkie oznaki, że nosiłam życie…pięć razy”

In response to the hateful messages I got about my belly photo, I’ve been empowered to share this message louder! Yes, I do I have a valley of lines mapped across my belly, mountains of stretched skin left over my mid section, lightning bolts on my sides and back, all signs that I carried life inside of me…. five times! I also have a cesarean scar reminding me that my belly was cut open twice! My body is amazing. My body is beautiful. My body is powerful. My body is strong. My body is capable. My body made me a mother. My body grew a human inside. Not everybody has that privilege. So while society wants to sit behind a screen and label us as flawed, I am here to remind myself and all of you that to our children we are perfect. They see behind the stretched out skin, marks, and lines. They see us for who we truly are. They know our hearts and love us unconditionally. And that is all that matters. ? #freeto #mombod #postpartumbody #realpostpartum #empoweringwomen #ellenratemybaby

Sara, „To jest dla każdej mamy, która przegląda media społecznościowe i porównuje się do idealnego obrazu. To jest dla każdej mamy, która czuła się tak, jak ja, kiedy zostałam mamą. Internet nauczył nas wstydzić się rozstępów i luźnej skóry. To przypomnienie dla wszystkich mam. Jesteście wspaniałe!”

Ava,”Nie czekaj, aż pokochasz siebie, aż osiągniesz cel, do którego dążysz. Bądź dumna ze wszystkiego, co twoje ciało ma lub nie, co zrobiło dla ciebie”

Brittany, „Najsmutniejsza prawda jest taka, że ​​społeczeństwo powiedziało nam, że nasze ciało poporodowe nie jest godne świętowania, dopóki „nie wróci do formy”. Jakby piękno polegało na powrocie do tego, co było wcześniej, kiedy prawdą jest, że powinno celebrować się to, jakim się stało i co osiągnięto – ponieważ tworzenie życia ludzkiego jest po prostu niesamowite”

Lauren, „Jak możesz kiedykolwiek powiedzieć coś negatywnego o swoim ciele po tym, jak poczułaś taniec życia z wnętrza swojego łona?”

“Hey girl, want to do XYZ to loss weight and be more confident?” This sets a fire inside me because I was once that girl who looked at myself with disgust with any extra weight on herself. I couldn’t feel confident until it was all gone! I couldn’t love myself for who I was. And it made me miserable. . . Right now I’m at my highest weight ever not pregnant.(180lbs) I was taken back the other day Thinking ok…Time to start paying attention to what I eat and do a little more to workout. But I didn’t Get disgusted by myself like society has taught me to do my whole life. ( some people might even say keep this off the internet faith! …uhm no) I embraced me for who I am right now. I’m on a journey to believe I am fearfully and wonderfully made. And that one makes me happier then anything else. . . So here I am confident for the first time In my life regardless of “the weight” and it feels freaking amazing ?? . . . #postpartumjourney #babiesofig #fourthtrimester #momof4 #postpartumbody #postpartumweightloss #selflovejourney #momtogs #mom_hub #babies #magicofmotherhood #parenthood_moments #parenthood_unveiled #memoirsofmotherhood #motherhoodslens #motherhoodunfiltered

Am I seriously posting these…Vulnerable post ? ??? . I am a mom of 4 ????????, I love baking and cooking new things, I love me a good burger ? and ? sweet potato fries! I have found a new love for lifting weights and hiit workouts – these type of workouts I have found work the best for me, my body type and lifestyle! . With having 4 kids (and my genetics) my tummy is NOT the tightest anymore and I will probably always have loose skin there ??‍♀️ – for a long time I wasn’t ok with it and I complained to my husband and spent too much time in the mirror begging my body to look “normal”. . For some reason after I had my little girl #babynumber4 I had a mindset shift – I didn’t even mean to actually, is just kinda happened naturally. I became mentally proud of my body and what I have accomplished – I no longer wished For my tummy to look like it did when I was 20 (now 34) – I birthed 4 #healthykids with this body and that is something to be damn proud of! . I have found what works for me to keep my brain and body the healthiest I can be. The food I choose to eat also helps with that, I have chosen to be gluten and dairy free (most of the time) I know that certain things give me a headache or upsets my tummy ? so I try to stay away from that stuff. . I am not here to tell you what works for me will work for you! Because it probably won’t!! – we are different people ❤️ So you have to find what works for you through trial and error and trust me once you find it I can’t even tell you how things will fall into place for you! It’ll just happen naturally!! . So be proud of who you are and what you do, if you haven’t found something that works for you change it up, ask questions, and get in the know for YOU! . Need help finding some resources reach out to me or someone you feel a connection with! ? #beyou .

Dear Postpartum Body, Thank you for these beautiful twin boys. You stretched beyond repair, but you allowed me to carry 14 pounds of combined baby to 37.5 weeks. You can fool most, from a side profile, and fully clothed. However, in plank position, laying down and sitting the stretched skin is plentiful. I’m proud of how far we have come. I feel strong, can run, and on most days my back doesn’t hurt. My diastasis recti is finally closing after two years. I’ve learned to accept the extra skin as a beautiful reminder of what a great job you did. Body you amaze me. The fact that you carried & grew four beautiful humans and two at once will never cease to amaze me. Your capacity to heal STILL TWO years later is astounding. Postpartum body you rock. ❤️ . . . . • See my insta story for a plank view of my tummy. ❤️

“I’m pretty sure that’s a hippopotamus!”, “I wouldn’t put my body through this trauma.” . . . Those were words of some comments I once received when I posted a photo of my stretch marks a couple of months after I gave birth to my boys. . . . It’s sad to know there are such cruel people out there bashing our postpartum journeys on the daily. I always see other Mothers posting their beautiful bodies after childbirth and notice all the hurtful comments others post. . . . I think our bodies are phenomenons. We create life! Need I say more? . . . This belly of mine tells a beautiful story of my twin boys. I like to think of each stripe representing a certain moment that became a memory during pregnancy. The loose skin as a souvenir where I carried, grew and kept my boys safe during pregnancy, the discoloration as the many emotions I felt during pregnancy. . . . I know we are all different sizes and all have different struggles but look at the kids you’ve created! It is a beautiful gift they left behind. . . . Bottom line, our bodies are incredible. We are strong, we are courageous, we are warriors, we are beautiful! Love your body! Embrace your tiger stripes, love your loose skin ‘cause Mama, you are a Super hero! . . .

Back when I was pregnant I had made it almost to term and I hadn’t gotten any stretch marks on my stomach and then one day my whole stomach was just covered…⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I remember thinking to myself, “really body? You couldn’t have just waited a couple more weeks?” ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I was constantly looking in the Mirror and rubbing creams all over my stomach in hopes of “saving” it from the stretch marks forming. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Needless to say the creams didn’t stop what’s supposed to happen to my⁣⁣ body naturally. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It wasn’t until WEEKS after I had given birth where I finally decided to just accept my body and own it like it is.⁣⁣ To live happily in my body in the current state it’s in. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ So this is for the Mama who is struggling to love her current body… ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Your body may have completely changed but it’s still beautiful. Your body is covered in the marks of a woman who has brought life into this world. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Your scars define a greater purpose. I see you Mama. I know it’s hard to love yourself but you need too. If not for yourself then for your babies. The babies who made your body the way it is. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This is how they will know us so we must embrace it and love it! ⁣Love your stripes. They are BEAUTIFUL!

One year ago this week I had an abdominoplasty. After losing close to 300 pounds over 6 pregnancies my stomach had a lot of extra skin. I have excess skin all over my body but my tummy was definitely the worst. ⁣ ⁣ I suffered from chronic back pain and was told that if I lost weight my back pain would go away. Well, I did and it didn’t. I discovered that it wasn’t because of my weight that I was experiencing back pain, though that didn’t help, it was because I had diastasis recti, a super common muscle separation in the adbomen. I worked with a physical therapist to help correct this issue for two years to no avail and was eventually told that I would need surgery. ⁣ ⁣ I began consulting surgeons and discovered that if a surgeon is going to repair DR it’s standard practice to remove any excess skin as well. I had not planned to have skin removal but I was desperate to get rid of my back pain and I wasn’t going to say no to getting a flatter tummy out of the deal.⁣ ⁣ So last year, after doing tons of research I picked my surgeon @drgrantstevens and I went in! Everything went great, recovery was a breeze for me (much easier than my cesareans), and I woke up back pain free! ⁣ ⁣ One thing you can’t predict is how you’re going to scar and unfortunately I dealt with a lot of hypertrophic scarring. In some areas my scar has spread, in some areas it is super thick and raised, and in others it’s thin and flat. ⁣ ⁣ Because I’m 1 year post op, this is the time to discuss any possible revision and today we decided to do a quick scar revision tomorrow. ⁣ ⁣ This is a quick and easy little surgery, my surgeon compared it to mole removal, and Lord willing my body will heal a little better this time. ⁣ ⁣ I share this with you only because I’ve shared everything else, I will of course share revision results as well. ❤️ Swipe right to see what my tummy looked like last year before surgery.

What you see when I share an ab shot vs what I see when I bend over to put my jeans on. Our bodies are amazing regardless of the perspective they are viewed from. These abs protect my vital organs and stretched out to carry four sweet babies. I love what my body has done for me. I don’t believe in static airbrushed fitness shots for motivation. I like to see women moving around. I like to see the fat jiggle and the cellulite because it’s real. No body is our idea of perfect so put those thoughts away. Love your body where it’s at. Strive to reach your goals but love your body at every stage. If its perfection you’re striving for, you’ll never get there. ❤ #nicolewilkinschallenge #nwbunsnguns #abs #flabs #saggyskin #momoffour #tigerstripes #loveyourbody #yourbodyisagift #fitspo #fitfam #truestory #reallife #weightlossjourney #musclebuilding #strongabs #momswholift #fitmoms #instagfitness #instareal #instafit #cellulite #stretchmarks #bodylove #bekindtoyourself

A lot of people ask me about how I dealt with the loose skin and stretch marks on my tummy. The truth is I still have them — and I love them! They are a reminder of what my body has been through in carrying and giving birth to my six wonderful children. ? I see them as „mummy badges”, and they are part of what makes us mums who we are. ? In the past, I would hide this part of me because of embarrassment or fear of judgment from people because my body wasn’t perfect. BUT I soon realised that my body is perfect. I love it and it’s perfect for me. It was a long road to self-acceptance and self-love, with many bumps and hurdles along the way, but I did it. I learned to love myself for who I am. I learned to love and respect my body. You don’t have to wait until you are where you want to be to LOVE yourself. Start now by loving yourself now on your journey! ?

I am NOT ashamed of my womanhood. This body is sharp edges, gentle curves, sloping hips. I like the way the stretch marks on my stomach and thighs look human and that as women we are so soft yet jungle wild when we need to be. I love that about us, how capable we are of feeling. Just being a woman, calling myself a woman makes me utterly whole and complete ? . . I am so honoured to have been chosen by Peta from @goodnessmebox as a Game-changer in celebration of International women’s day. I decided that 2019 is all about self acceptance and loving on every single inch of this amazing body of mine. The biggest reward from being an influencer is that by sharing my journey with the world I am making a difference In peoples lives.

Alright mommas never in a million freaking years was I ever planning on sharing these glamorous photos of myself but here we are??‍♀️ I feel like there’s not a lot of images out there of moms with bodies who look like mine. I’m sure you’ve all seen the moms holding their new borns with six packs and perky boobs in a bikini talking about love your body and give it time blah blah blah and you just think how is that even possible? For some people it is and that’s amazing! For some people like me that’s just not reality and that’s ok too!! Yes I have lots of stretch marks, extra skin and a sweet hernia that makes my upper abs poke out weird. Does that make my body any less beautiful than any one else’s?! To some yes, and to others absolutely not. The way I see it is every mark, scar, tattoo and wrinkle I have is like a map. They show the journey I have been on and they tell a story of the life I’ve lived so far and guess what? It’s been a damn good life. If you’re feeling down or discouraged on your postpartum journey remember to be gentle to yourself and never be ashamed of the changes that happen when you create those precious little miracles.

Are you sure? Asked my husband when I showed the first picture of my belly I posted. The truth is I wasn’t ready. But sure? Yes! “I want to be that someone I needed to see when I felt that I was the only one” I said to him. That was and is still my why. Even if my belly is different now after my surgery. For so long I looked for someone like me in magazines and online. I had to specifically google diastasis recti or saggy skin to get an image. I felt alone and that my body didn’t do what it was supposed to. So little by little I started showing up for those that were like me. There were so many people I didn’t want seeing my belly. The thought terrified me. But the thought of someone else feeling alone like I did, terrified me more. So as always when I’m scared I just close my eyes and do it. . There’s some women that don’t experience big changes in their bodies after having kids and that’s amazing.But those of us that did? We need to know we are not alliens. We need to see someone like us. We need to see the diversity of postpartum bodies. We are all different. . And our bodies? They are a perfect creation no matter how they look after giving birth. Don’t ever believe something else.

A mark for every breath you took, every blink, every sleepy yawn. One for every time you sucked your thumb, waved hello, closed your eyes and slept in the most perfect darkness. One for every time you had the hiccups. One for every dream you dreamed within me. It isn’t very pretty anymore. Some may even think it ugly. That’s OK. It was your home. It’s where I first grew to love you, where I lay my hand as I dreamed about who you were and who you would be. It held you until my arms could, and for that, I will always find something beautiful in it. -LeFoxy _ This is exactly what the postpartum journey is all about. Our bodies may never be the same and that is okay. The journey to you was worth everything. My body is full of love and life. It is what made me a mother and I am so thankful for the ability to have all these changes displayed in my body. Out in the world there is someone who hates their stretch marks from pregnancy and on the other side there is someone who wishes they could have them. Remember what your body did and know how lucky you are for that amazing body. _ #thisispostpartum #this_is_postpartum #postpartum #motherhood #selflove #bodyimage #positivebpdyimage #stretchmarks #stretchmarksarebeautiful #curves #curvywomen #positivity #postpartumbody #postpartumbodylove #postbabybody #kdmamablog #blogger #mommyblog #mombod #postpartumblog #motherhoodquotes #motherly #motherlylove #teammotherly

When I first discovered stretch marks on my pregnant belly, I cried. About half an hour later I was embarrassed, why would I be upset by this? I was happy to be pregnant & carrying our first child. The stretch marks still played on my mind regardless. As did the weight that I was gaining. The inability to exercise. The gestational diabetes I’d been diagnosed with. The chronic pain from SPD. The up & down ride of pregnancy hormones. I couldn’t wait to be me again. Post birth I struggled. Struggled to breastfeed, struggled to sleep, struggled to be in the moment with my baby, struggled to smile, struggled to walk, struggled to verbalise how I was feeling without tears. Struggled with the guilt of feeling the way I was feeling when there were others worse off, why couldn’t I be happy. I wrestled with my new body, hated it, despised it. Was angry I had diastasi recti. Upset I had stretch marks. What did I do wrong? Furious that I’d gained 26 kgs. I had all the desire to move and exercise and regain old me but physically I was a mess. Then I was diagnosed with a prolapse. My world fell apart. Suddenly I didn’t even care about the stretch marks, the ab separation. All I was hearing was, you won’t run again, you won’t jump again, you won’t be YOU again. And then the guilt. The guilt for feeling so upset for something that was not life threatening but was threatening my whole way of life. It is truly hard to explain the roller coaster of post-partum, particularly when it is fraught with complications. It is hard to explain the guilt of feeling upset for the loss of something that was out of your control. It is hard to explain the angst of wishing you had made different decisions when you couldn’t possibly as you had no idea/knowledge/understanding. It is hard feeling alone in the dark and knowing there are others who are in more darkness. I’m sitting in the light these days, I’m seeing the purpose in this journey I’ve been handed. So I will keep writing and sharing this journey for the ones who can’t verbalise it, who are sitting in the dark & feeling that guilt. It’s ok to not be ok, to feel what you are feeling. One day when you are ready, the light will be waiting x
