Motherhood changes you inside and out. After having a baby, your clothing size, breast shape, hip width and even your shoe size might be different. These changes are evidence of the work your body has done. As you adjust to your new life with baby, it’s important to remember that your mind and emotions are also changing, so be sure to give yourself the support you need.
Each day, women upload photos of their postpartum bodies to Instagram. Whether they’re showing stretch marks, sagging skin, or C-sections scars, these images are beautiful—and they celebrate the feat of pregnancy and new motherhood.
The bodily changes you experience during pregnancy don’t abruptly end after giving birth. In fact, you can expect a whole host of changes in your postpartum body. Scroll down to meet the moms proudly showing off their postpartum bellies and battle scars in these before and after pregnancy photos!
