In our 124th episode of Beyond the Bump, we chat with Jen, the founder of MumSafe, all about postpartum body issues and this idea of snapping back to our pre-baby bodies and looking like we've never had children!
- When it comes to mass media and general conversations about “real” postpartum and “real” mum life, are we heading in the right direction or is it getting worse?
- Why does society always compliment someone when they lose weight, when in reality, the weight loss could be a reason being stress and/or postnatal depression?
- The unhealthy and unrealistic mindset of “snapping back” to our pre-baby body.
- Advice to women who have always been affected by body image and are terrified of what their body will look like after birth.
- Is it okay to have wishes to look smaller and leaner?
- Why we need to shift our focus from body-love to body-acceptance.
- C-sections!!! Advice to women who are struggling with insecurities over their c-section scars as well as the inability to exercise.
- How and when to know when we can safely return to movement and exercise postpartum.
- Tips for pregnant women who are worried about this next stage of life.
- And so much MORE!!!
We hope you absolutely LOVE this episode!
