One photographer is aiming to change the way that post-pregnancy bodies are represented in the media, through an initiative called the 4th Trimester Bodies Project.
Photographer, Ashlee Wells Jackson said she felt there was a lot of women, who were struggling with their own insecurities surrounding their post-pregnancy bodies.
“I see beautiful, inspiring, real women on a daily basis who struggle with their body image because they don’t feel they measure up with who the media tells them to be. I feel like this is even more poignant in mothers who often feel like their bodies have been ruined when instead they should be respected for creating, sustaining, and nourishing life.”
Jackson then came up with the idea of photographing women who were comfortable with their post-pregnancy bodies. She hopes that these amazing photos will encourage new mums to take pride in their post-pregnancy bodies as well.
