Social media feeds are full of unrealistic photos that can really make someone feel uncomfortable in their own skin. For women with postpartum bodies, this topic can be the most sensitive. <\/p>\n<p>To support others, this proud mother decided to stop hiding behind filters or pieces of clothing and embrace the flaws that truly make us special.<\/p>\n<p>Most mothers aren\u2019t prepared for the challenges that come after childbirth.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t know that I would have as much loose skin as I do now, and stretch marks. No one ever discussed it, my doctors didn\u2019t discuss it,\u201d the mother explained. \u201cI didn\u2019t know that my body just wouldn\u2019t look the same anymore. But I want to embrace my body, and <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m happy where I\u2019m at.\u201dSeeing tons of celebrities and models posing with their pregnant bellies can give us the wrong image. They can make us believe that perfection can exist and that something might be wrong with our own bodies, even lowering our confidence to the point that we forget to love ourselves.In one of her Instagram posts, she pointed out to other moms that they are loved, saying, \u201cDon\u2019t let society trick you into believing you need to be \u2019fixed.\u2019 Your body is not wrong, society is!\u201dSociety expects a different image of the female postpartum body.Women are expected to quickly bounce back to their pre-pregnancy bodies. For many mothers, this can feel like they\u2019re strangers in their own their skin. Fighting against your body means losing the battle in the end, but knowing how to accept it and start loving yourself from all angles is a different type of pure love that can only occur if the mother is 100% ready to do it.The brutal honesty behind Danisha\u2019s posts makes her even prouder of who she is. \u201cOur body is meant to evolve and change, that is what happens with growth, not everyone\u2019s body will change the same and that\u2019s okay,\u201d she admitted. \u201cMy wonderful body carried 4 beautiful blessings, my belly is a reminder of that and signifies growth. It has taken me a long time to accept her, love her, and appreciate her.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every day, the female body is exposed to more and more judgment from society.
