Mom shares images of body after pregnancy and goes viral

It is normal for your body to change as a result of pregnancy. Yet many women struggle with those changes, including Danisha. To show other women that every body is normal, she decided to record her body in the weeks and months after giving birth.

And with the honest images of her postpartum body, she gets a lot of praise.

Body after pregnancy

Danisha regularly shares photos and videos of her body after four pregnancies. But that doesn’t mean she could accept those changes right away. “After giving birth I got postpartum depression, I felt alone,” she tells BuzzFeed. “I had no one around me with the same body and thought it was not normal to have so much loose skin and stretch marks.” Danisha’s body felt strange, like it wasn’t hers. She decided – however exciting – to share her changing body on social media. “I found that extremely difficult, because I was afraid of the opinion of others, but I received so many positive reactions.”

Unrealistic expectations

The TikTok video in which she shows her body three weeks after giving birth has already been viewed more than twenty million times. “I’m so happy to be able to show you what a postpartum body can look like too, and that it’s completely normal.” According to Danisha, we should stop celebrating bodies that look exactly like before after delivery. “It creates unrealistic ideals of beauty and expectations,” said the mother.
