Dayika du zarokan piştî zayînê tora wêneyên tazî şok kir

The Russian-speaking segment of Instagram has an amazing My Lines community. In it, women tell (and show) how their bodies have changed after pregnancy and childbirth. All of them are looking for support, because it is very difficult to accept their new reflection, generously “decorated” with stretch marks, scars, extra pounds. Even there they are sometimes ashamed: “I started myself, think about your husband.” Well, we have such a bad trend – a woman should look perfect right after giving birth, be thin, fit and with cubes on her stomach.

Stella Mackie, a mother of two, decided to fight these stereotypes. Well, not every woman is able to show the world a magnificent figure, just leaving the door of the hospital. Actually, before childbirth, the body is also not ideal for everyone.

“Look, in this photo I am both after giving birth and am pregnant at the same time,” Stella signed one of her pictures. Her eldest son at that time was one and a half years old. – I’m all in stretch marks, old and new. I have cellulite, varicose veins – thanks to genetics – and a hanging belly. What can I do, this is how my body reacts to pregnancy. “

Stella said that after the first birth it was very difficult for her to get used to how she looks. “I cried every time I looked at myself in the mirror,” she writes. And then suddenly the realization came: she is a mother, not a picture from a magazine. “You don’t have to love every inch of your body. But you don’t need to hate him either. It won’t be like that for long. Pregnancy is not forever. Try to love yourself, ”says Stella.

All this body positive does not mean that Stella has given up working on herself, not at all. But everything has its time. She recently gave birth to her second baby by caesarean section and did not hesitate to show her belly three weeks after giving birth. Yes, she looks still pregnant on it. For comparison – along the arrow to the right, you will find a photo of how Stella looked at the 39th week of pregnancy.

“Now I only care about one thing – to get through this day. And then the next one. Everything hurts me: the seam after the cesarean, my chest – because of my toothless piranha, which chews on my nipples, and after a sleepless night every touch terribly enrages ”, – Stella shares her experiences with subscribers. Some of them shame her: they say, she does not think about her husband at all. “My husband is not my owner. My body is my business, – Stella does not go into his pocket for a word. – My body perfectly knows how to bear and feed children. It was created for me first of all, and not for someone’s pleasure. “
