Let’s talk about the "Bounce-Back" Lie. 🛑
I’ve had way too many conversations lately about why new mums are not "bouncing back" straight after birth. Honestly? This unrealistic expectation that social media has placed on new mums is shameful.
Your body didn’t just change; it reconstructed itself to build a human life. To expect it to look like a "before" photo in a matter of weeks isn't just unrealistic—it’s medically and emotionally unfair.
I’m officially rejecting the phrase "bouncing back." Our bodies aren't a rubber band. They're a vessel. Today on the blog, I’m breaking down:
Why the 6-week "clearance" is just the beginning, not the finish line.
The physical reality of internal healing (it’s not just about the skin!).
Why I’m choosing to heal forward instead of looking back.
