Why do our bellies go from being celebrated during pregnancy to being shamed post-baby?

The minute our babies are born, our bellies—once celebrated—must now, immediately, be hidden until they go back to "normal." Our bodies are worse than forgotten. They become Enemy Number One. It took 10 months for our bellies to become what they were, and yet our bellies are expected to disappear the moment a baby is born.

I wish I loved my body sooner

I see her and I’m ready to love her—finally. I only wish I got here sooner.

You need a vacation from momlife

My work can wait. My kids are in good hands. My routine will be there waiting for me when I get back.
