Embracing Your Postpartum Body
The changes that come along with having a baby are numerous and often surprising. We live in a society where women are expected to “bounce back” from pregnancy and childbirth - resume work or your typical daily routine, somehow exist on little sleep, and get your pre- pregnancy body back.

It’s as if losing the baby weight is your next greatest achievement in life.
