What Is Perimenopause?
It's Time To Normalize Mom Bods
Being a new mom is hard. Don’t let “snapback culture” make it harder.
2 min read
Snapback body. It’s a term that plagues new and expectant moms everywhere.
It’s hard to ignore the barrage of flat bellies and radiant smiles plastered across social media by celebrities and influencers within (what feels like) minutes after giving birth. But is it realistic? Spoiler alert: It’s not. So grab a pair of sweatpants, throw your hair in a bun, take a deep breath, and try not to worry about the changes your body will be experiencing over the next few months. Because everything you’re dealing with is normal. Don’t believe me? Watch as OB/GYN professionals (and real moms) dish about the realities of their own changing bodies after giving birth, what you can expect, and how you can cope.
Editor’s note: This is one installment in a series focusing on the fourth trimester, or the three-month period after you've come home with baby. Please check out our other videos for new moms and moms to be about the transition to motherhood, managing your mental health after baby, and all the products you'll need in those first weeks home from the hospital.
