The appearance of the mother's belly is one of the most obvious changes after the birth of a baby. The uterus has grown for nine months causing the displacement of organs, the skin has stretched up to ten times its size, and that is not erased overnight. Not even in weeks.
A mother has shared on her Instagram account a photo with the marks that have been left in her belly after being the mother of three children, which reminded us of another mother who months ago imitated a Calvin Klein ad showing the streaks of her belly of Mother. Images that encourage many women to reinforce self-esteem and better accept their new mother body.
After three babies, this is what my belly looks like. I'm ashamed? Definitely not! Do I care what others think? Definitely not! I love my body? Absolutely! Have I considered having a tummy tuck? No way! I am beautiful inside and out. If I don't love myself and all my flaws, how can I expect someone else to love me. Start inside. Self-love is the best love.
After 3 babies this is how my tummy looks. Am I ashamed of it? Definitely not! Do I care what others think? Definitely not! Do I love my body? Absolutely! Would I ever consider an abdominoplasty? No way Jose! I am beautiful on the inside and outside. If I don't love me and all of my flaws how can I expect someone else to love me? It starts within. Self love is always the best love! # stretchmarks # tigerstripes #beautiful #lovingmefirst # lovingmybody # mommyof3 # mommytummy # stillfinetho #selfloveisthebestlove # selflove # melaninpoppin

Not all bellies look like this
No, not all. Each woman's body recovers differently after childbirth. There are many factors involved, including genetics, food, exercise ... But sometimes, none of those things help the appearance of the belly improve. It doesn't matter if you are an elite athlete or if you have had one, two or five children.
Some women have abdominal diastasis after childbirth, especially if they have had several children. It is a condition in the vertical muscles of the abdominal wall that separate during pregnancy to leave room for the uterus The muscles do not return to their original position joining spontaneously and this results in the appearance of the abdomen being bulky and flaccid.
Gradually, with the passing of the months, a good diet and the practice of exercise is normal for the belly to recover its previous size and shape. However, it is not always achieved in its entirety and stretch marks are marks that can decrease, but rarely disappear naturally since there has been a break in the elastic fibers of the skin.
Conclusion? That each body is a world and what really matters is acceptance. Accept mother's body without being ashamed nor matter what others say. But ask this mother who has not been afraid to share a photo on social networks.
