Also for the sake of transparency, the former reality TV contestant, who became a mom a few weeks ago, has unveiled photos of her new body.
A few days ago, Maeva Martinez confided in a long video on the details of her childbirth. On January 9, after 9 p.m. of work, she and her husband, Julien, welcomed a little boy named Gabriel. Since then, the former reality TV contestant has not hesitated to speak out about postpartum reality, especially in her latest Instagram post, where she can be seen posing in a pink bodysuit.

By revealing her post-partum body, Maeva Martinez wishes to show her community her "new self", a body that has changed, evolved, just like her state of mind. “I have experienced pregnancy and today I am in my postpartum period. I have seen my body change, take different forms until today when I am learning to tame this new me. My state of mind has also changed a lot, evolved, and I questioned myself, she begins by writing in the caption of her photo. "
It's all a matter of angle
By putting two shots side by side, with two different poses, Gabriel's mom has one goal: to demonstrate that the angle and point of view of a photo play a huge role in the end result. “We all tend to show ourselves off with our strengths and in our best light. We comfort our equals, but what is very bad is that we end up being self-conscious and comparing ourselves to accounts of women we think are perfect! " The former Secret Story participant goes even further by admitting to having participated in this toxic game herself. "Have I contributed to making other women complex by only posting myself in the perfect angle, the best light and by developing beautiful postures? It's possible. "

In her legend, Maeva Martinez scrutinizes her poses and explains why they contribute or not to reveal the best of her body. "The two photos taken a minute apart are me, one posture is natural, the other is worked on, but I must feel as beautiful on the left as on the right. People show their strengths, not their reality. " Suffice to say that this kind of post is good, in a society that has become hyper instagrammable, where everyone embellishes their reality, physical and mental.
