Why We All Need To Stop Trying To “Bounce Back” After Pregnancy

This week, Brittany and Aleen are back to talk all about body image
during pregnancy and postpartum, as well as the emotional and
physical changes that come with this new stage of life. They start
off by sharing their own experiences of people commenting on their
pregnant bodies and feeling judged for it. Plus, they chat about
why body comments are actually toxic and harmful for pregnant
women. Next, they talk about reality of postpartum body image and
the pressure to “bounce back” and quickly lose the baby weight
following birth. Lastly, it’s time for No Mom Guilt, where Brittany
shares her process of practicing gentle parenting with Oliver after
getting a text from his teachers that he was “acting up.” Learn
