Sometimes, the postpartum we see on social networks are too unreal and affect the confidence of mothers to imagine that everything is rosy when the reality is very different. However, more and more women dare to show themselves as they are and without complexes to teach their bodies after giving birth.
Hayley is the mother of three children (a boy and some twins, Ruby and Ramona, born two months ago), and has wanted to share what your belly looks like after the birth of your daughters along with a message in which he talks about the importance of being kind to yourself. He has posted on his Instagram profile a photo with his two babies in his arms and his belly full of marks half-covered by a shirt with a curious legend: "Madness & Magic covered in skin" ("Madness and magic covered with skin")
Start your message with an inspiring quote from 'Your Body is Not Your Masterpiece', article by the blogger and author of the bestseller 'Carry On, Warrior', Glennon Doyle Melton.
"Stop spending all day obsessed, cursing, perfecting your body as if it were all you have to offer the world. Your body is not your art, it is your brush. If your brush is a tall brush or a fine brush or a sturdy brush or a scratched brush is completely irrelevant. What is relevant is that you HAVE A BRUSH that can be used to transfer your interior to the canvas of your life, where others can see it and feel inspired and comforted by it. " -Glennon Doyle Melton
And continue with a more personal message, remembering how necessary is self-esteem and self-confidence in a period as special as postpartum:
"8 weeks after delivery. A reminder that I need to be as kind to myself as I would be to a friend who has no confidence in her body. A reminder that the miracles of life often leave their marks on our bodies. We are all madness and magic covered in skin!”
The importance of self-acceptance
The woman's body changes when she becomes a mother and in most cases she is not the same as before. Seeing ourselves in the new mother's body is something that little by little we must begin to accept to love ourselves with the marks that the pregnancy has left us.
Not all women want to show their postpartum bodies, and of course it is absolutely respectable. Teaching the marks of pregnancy should not become a synonym for being "more mother" or "better mother", but we must recognize the courage of those who show their bodies by publicly accepting the changes of motherhood.
Show it or not (that goes in each one) the important thing is learn to love your new body and thank you for giving life.
