After giving birth, it feels like the next thing should be a month-long holiday in the Caribbean instead of years of sleepless nights.
And you certainly shouldn’t be dealing with the pressure of getting your ‘pre-baby body’ back, whatever that means, which is exactly why one mum has taken a stand against the idea.
Olivia White, House of White blogger and mother to two small children, decided to show the world that she is totally unashamed of what her body looks like post pregnancy.

Posting a photo of herself on Instagram, she said that she’s not going to try and change it back any time soon.
She said: “Puffy face, droopy milk filled boobs, wider hips and belly full of stretch marks!
“That’s my post baby reality, no ‘bouncing back’ here!
“And you know what? I couldn’t give a s**t! Because I’m not the same person I was before I had babies, so why would would I want my body to reflect something and someone I no longer am?

“Those droopy boobs fed my babies and grew them up big and strong.
“Those hips and rippled belly was home to my little babes for 9 months.
“It might not be the 'transformation’ body so many ogle or aspire to!
“And sure, some days I wish it didn’t jiggle so much and was a bit 'firmer’ but then I just remember the awesome s**t it’s done and cut myself some slack and go eat a cheeseburger, because we earned it.”
Hear hear, Olivia.
