Post-baby Body Photos: "I Want Every Mom To Know That It’s Normal And You’re Beautiful"
Many women are left with scars, stretch marks, and loose skin after giving birth. It's a reality that women themselves often try to hide and the media never wants to show.
Movies, television shows, magazines, websites and social media are affecting the way pregnant and new moms view their own bodies.
If you're tired of seeing unrealistic photos of post-baby bodies in the media - Kate Middleton and Keira Knightley are prime examples - you're going to love these refreshingly honest pictures.
Nutritionist Julie Bhosale has shared the images on her blog, My Real Postpartum Body. After giving birth, Julie realised that if she was struggling - despite all of her experience in nutrition and fitness - other women must be too.
So she decided to take part in the #takebackpostpartum campaign by posting her own set of post-baby photos. The images clearly chart how her body changed in the months following the birth of her son.
