New mothers can often feel anxious about their postpartum body.
But we feel you should embrace your new body: it’s natural and you just brought a baby into this world.
So when Kelly Diane Howland posted about an approach in her local supermarket, we couldn’t help but take notice.
In the encounter, Kelly is approached by another woman while shopping with her newborn baby girl.
Naturally, when you have a newborn everyone wants a piece of the happiness to share and they ask a million questions, just like this particular lady:
“How old is she? How much does she weigh?”
But it was what she asked next that has our jaws to the floor...
“Have you heard of It Works before?”
For those of you who are unaware - It Works is a body wrap slimmer.
While Kelly is aware this lady is trying to make money, she does make some pretty good points that all postpartum mums should pay attention to.
“Can we PLEASE start bucking the system and instead start praising each other for being the amazing, life giving, creation birthing vessels that we are?”
The new mum added: “Can we just offer each other adoration of the amazing things that we've accomplished and see our physical changes as marks of phenomenal accomplishment that only our sex has the privilege of experiencing?”
We’re with you Kelly, you’re amazing just the way you are.
Have you ever experienced something like this?
