After pregnancy, a woman's body changes and this is quite normal. An Instagram account posts photos of moms after childbirth to show that all women are different and changed by pregnancy and childbirth.
After birth, the body is completely turned upside down. And it is not always easy for the young mother to find her bearings and her body. Indeed, the postpartum period is a painful time for many women who no longer recognize themselves and who have difficulty accepting their new figure.
To help them and prove to them that this body change is completely normal, the Instagram account @takebackpostpartum brings together the photos of these mothers who are gradually learning to love their bodies. Scars, stretch marks, relaxed skin … the after-effects and minor post-pregnancy disgrace are sublimated here thanks to photography. Poignant pictures.

An often overlooked reality
On Instagram, women are constantly fed pictures of perfect moms who flaunt flat, smooth tummies just days after giving birth. Clichés which often make them feel guilty but which are above all not representative of reality.
Faced with such hypocrisy, Instagram account @takebackpostpartum instead decided to show off what women's bodies really look like after the birth of a child. So many of them have accepted to immortalize their body as it is, in postpartum reality and the least we can say is that the result is just magnificent. A series of strong clichés which is meant to be emancipatory. We love !
