Do you love your body post pregnancy?

I came across an article via a tweet from the CRGH today that was featured on the BBC website back in July. It interested me for a couple of reasons – firstly, I find it odd that this project (A Beautiful Body Project) even needed to exist in the first place. Secondly, after thinking about it, and as the article points out, whenever we see or hear an article or discussion in the media about women’s bodies after they’ve given birth it’s invariably a critique of some celebrity or another and how they’ve magically ‘pinged’ back into shape in record time … or not. For instance, all the hoo-ha about the Duchess of Cambridge’s completely normal ‘baby belly’ recently – what was that all about? Surely people can’t be that averse to seeing what nature intended? We don’t all have the irrational urge to hit the gym, get abs of steel and fit back in to the clothes we wore months or years earlier – or at least we shouldn’t.

There’s no disputing that for the most part many women probably do feel that way though, but why exactly does that pressure exist, and who does it come from?

According to the photographer and founder of the project, Jade Beall, 95% of women will not see themselves reflected in mainstream media. I find that a rather worrying and disturbing path to be following – I think it sets an unrealistic and unattainable expectation for both our daughters and sons, of what a woman’s body is supposed to look like after it’s given birth. In the West, particularly, we place so much emphasis on external beauty and that it must be preserved for as long as possible and it makes me wonder whether that can ever be reversed.  If only we could look further than the superficial and stop judging each other in such a simplistic way. How on earth have we got to this point, and why can’t we be more accepting? In today’s crazily obsessed world of ‘body perfection’ how do you feel about yours?
