Lindsay Lohan proudly showed off her body after giving birth to her first baby, something that many women become ashamed of, even though it is something very normal. The actress shared on social media a picture accompanied by a beautiful message to remind those who have already been given birth that the body changes with pregnancy, and although we do not love how it looks, it is incredible what it does, because it can house and give life to a little person that you will love forever.
“I am so proud of what this body was able to accomplish during these months of pregnancy and now, recovery. Having a baby is the greatest joy in the world!” wrote Lindsay in the description of her post.
Lindsay Lohan Reminds Us That We Should Not Fight with Our Body
The Mean Girls star also made it clear that the most satisfying thing after giving birth is to be comfortable, so what she wears is postpartum underwear: “Because I’m not a regular mom, I’m a postpartum mom.” The celebrity’s words touched the hearts of her fans, who applauded her way of looking at this process that suddenly becomes very difficult for many.
According to a report by the Ministry of Health, two out of every 10 women suffer from depression during pregnancy and in the first year after giving birth. Several factors trigger it and one of them is the transformation of the body. Yes, it is complicated one day to look at yourself in the mirror one way and then not even recognize yourself, but it is important to embrace yourself, because those stretch marks, flaccidity, and other details, are marks of the struggle to give life to another being.
There are very cruel people, who find it easier to criticize and judge, but only those who know what it means will love them forever. Don’t want to rush the process, give your body time to renew and compose itself after all the effort. Besides, we are all different, let’s thank her for the opportunity she gave us to be mothers and enjoy the decision we made.
There are many things we can do to reconcile with our ‘new’ body, pamper ourselves, apply creams, massage the areas that we do not find so attractive, and make peace with them, but above all, never compare yourself with other women, do not fight with your body, embrace it.
