How we look after childbirth....

I've never had positive body image. Suffered through self harm, bulimia, all sorts of "fun" stuff. After I had my baby, I hated my body even more, and practically refused to look in a mirror. My body changed so much during my pregnancy, and after my beautiful daughter was born, things were not the same. Then one day I found a site dedicated to our bodies called "The Shape of a Mother." It's a wonderful site; women send pictures of themselves post postpartum (in some cases after miscarriage, the stories are so beautifully written), and they share their triumphs, or struggles publicly. The first time I came across the site, I cried. I have made an anonymous contribution. I urge you to check the site out, you may find yourself reflected in these wonderful pictures and stories. http://theshapeofamother.com/
