Shape of a Mother
This should be recommended viewing/reading for all female pre-teens, teens, women TTC, pregnant women, and women in their post partum.
Shape of a Mother
I visit at least every other day and there is always a couple if new stories with pictures that make me feel a little better about my body after 5 children. When the media is full of starlets with perfect pastpartum bodies.. it's kind of hard to not feel alone in what you think is a world free of cellulite and stretch marks.
I could go on for hours about the horrible self image I had as a teen despite having had a body that I'd love to have now. We never appreciate what we have till it's gone. I am so thankful a friend of mine sent me and a few other friends a link to another site that linked to "Shape of a Mother". I have a really hard time convincing my daughters that they are beautiful no matter what flaws they may think they have when I am so unhappy with myself and display a poor self image.
Kudos to the creator of the page, and Kudos to the women who are baring their bodies and souls.

As Dora says, I liked that, too.
Made me cry though.
I think it's a great site. The breast pictures made me realize how much the media promotes the idea that a "normal" woman's body is that of a skinny 18-year-old. While some celebrities have bared all while pregnant, you never see them doing that directly postpartum.
I've been checking the site every few days as well since I first saw your post --- I'm glad you brought this to our attention.
