It’s easy to look at other moms posting gorgeous photos of their bodies postpartum. And good for you if you are one of those lucky moms!
I’m not, my body is real. It’s covered in stretch marks and has lots of loose skin. But that’s ok, I’ll never have a flat defined scar free tummy. One day I’ll learn to love these marks from carrying my little boy for 10 months. 🤰🏼
Remember social media only shows us what people want us to see. Maybe not always the truth. So, for all you moms covered in tiger stripes too, this ones for you!!
You are beautiful, I am beautiful, our scars are beautiful 💙💙💙

I feel better after seeing real people like me. I put so much pressure on myself and I just don't know exactly why! I am trying to love my csection scar. I wish I could be as awesome and self-loving as you all are...

Too right Claire ! And I agree, you have to look after yourself to be the best momma. And Sarah, I hated my Csecion scar too, but I’d rather have my scar and my beautiful baby than be without either. Your scar is a sign you are a tough woman who can go through anything ! I wrote a post about csection that got a lot of support, go and check it out.. I hope it makes you feel better 💙💙 xx

Think about this... those stretch marks should remind you how powerful you are. How brave you were when you had your baby. Having a child is the painful experience a body can go through. You are super woman momma. Your tiger stripes are beautiful!

I love this!!! In a world that's all about vanity and self-image, it's so easy to get lost and discouraged by all the fake stuff we see on social media. I've had to unfollow so many social media moms because it kills my self esteem. Here's to us moms loving our babies and our bodies that grew them!

I had to do the exact same and actually took a social media break. It’s such a good thing you’ve had a cleanse, you’re right. Far too easy to forget the Internet is make believe. Xx
