Reality vs. Insta ✨
I got so many comments on my last post about how strong and in shape I look. That is not really the case and it’s all about the angles. Because of all the comments I got inspired by @saraaemiliee and more amazing mama’s out there to show you the reality. I love myself in both pitcures. This body has carried the two things I love most of all in this world and for that I will be forever thankful ❤️. Don’t belive everything you see here on instagram. A lot of it is not the reality at all. #thisispostpartum .

S I X M O I S D E T O I !
Merveilleux et difficiles à la fois. Des hauts. Des bas. Ton premier fou rire. Mes larmes. Nombreuses larmes. Tout ce que tu découvres pour la première fois. L'amour. Puissant. Les crises pour le dodo. Les mini-siestes. Googler tout. Les "Ils disent que...". Naître et Grandir comme bible. Se poser 1000 questions. Essayer de me, nous faire confiance. Le manque de sommeil qui gruge tant l'énergie. Se répéter "All things must pass" de mon ex-Beatles préféré. Six mois d'allaitement aussi. Les fameux six mois recommandés par les organisations de santé. Une étape à laquelle je n'aurais jamais cru me rendre tant les débuts ont été compliqués. Notre expérience n'a été ni magique, ni tragique. C'est la nôtre...
Mettre beaucoup entre parenthèses : le travail, les loisirs, les habitudes. Renoncer à vouloir prendre une douche tout de suite en me levant. ♀️ Ou à cuisiner les soupers. Merci au papa qui assure autant que moi au milieu de ce tourbillon-là. ❤️ Ne plus juste penser à son nombril. Trouver tout ça exigeant. Et puis accepter. Profiter de ces moments qui ne reviendront jamais. La maternité bouleverse. On le sait : "un enfant, ça change la vie". C'est encore différent de le vivre. Aujourd'hui, tout me parait plus secondaire, le travail ou les relations "qui ne vont pas de soi". Plus envie de trucs compliqués, de bullshit, de stress en plus... Et toi, tu as encore tellement besoin de moi.
Longtemps, je n'ai pas su si je voulais un enfant. "Un jour", "Peut-être". J'étais pas rendue là à 25, ou même 30 ans. Et puis, l'envie de toi. J'ai encore du mal à réaliser que je suis mère, mais je suis ta maman. Oscar. Mon poulet. Mon grand petit bébé. On t'aime.

I can guarantee you that she wasn't paying attention to my cellulite or the way my thighs jiggled as I chased her around the splash pad. I *can* guarantee that she was having fun and that she talked about it for hours afterwards. She didn't talk about the size of my swimsuit. She talked about how much fun she had and how exciting it was for mama to be out there *with* her. Get in the pictures, mama. Get in on the play time. You won't regret throwing caution and societal expectations to the wind. Because when you let go of those things, you can have just as much fun as they are ❤️

6 weeks postpartum
This is me. No filter • No editing • No sucking anything in (because I can’t, thanks diastasis recti), my stretch marks are on full display.
I haven’t showered in 3 days, I am tired, I haven’t started exercising yet, I have been eating lots of cereal along with an occasional ice cream sundae and I AM HAPPY.
I am continuing on my postpartum depression medicine and it has helped tremendously. I still have days where I cry or feel overwhelmed, but it is manageable and not all consuming.
Taking care of 10 kids during the summer is no joke, it is taking all I have right now. In September I’ll start back to the gym and start pelvic floor therapy for diastasis recti and prolapsed bladder. Right now I am giving myself time and grace and not feeling pressured to look a certain way. I am soaking up all those newborn cuddles because it goes by way too fast.
Mamas you are beautiful just as you are ❤️ #thisispostpartum #this_is_postpartum #thisismypostpartum #fourthtrimester #postpartumlife #mommystatus #mombody #postpartumbody #postpartumhealth #postpartumjourney #maternalhealth #postpartumdepression #DearBabylist #momtruth #pregnancyandbeyond #postnatalhealth #postpartumcare #thisismotherhood #myformerbump #motherhoodintheraw #rawmotherhood #postbaby #honestmom #largefamilymom #mynameismama #beyondthebump #beyondmotherhood #bigfamilylife
I wanted to conceive quickly & easily.
It took 2 years, surgery & many failed pregnancy tests.
I wanted a fit active, pregnancy, I wanted the glowing, the cute bump, the beautiful maternity shoot.
I could barely walk, gained nearly 30kgs & couldn't face a camera without seeing the worst in me instead of the life I was creating.
I wanted a natural drug free birth in a pool at a birthing centre.
I was induced in a hospital, baby was assisted out with an episiotomy & forceps in theatre.
I wanted to exclusively breastfeed for as long as I could.
I exclusively bottlefed from 8 weeks & felt like a failure for months.
I wanted to bounce back & resume my fitness career within 3 months of birth.
My bladder prolapsed & I still can't run or jump without consequence & risk.
I wanted to look like I'd never had a baby, retain the body I was so attached too but still never loved completely.
I was stretched & scarred, the creams never worked & my body will never be the same.
I wanted to make all our babyfood from scratch, give her only the best.
I regularly buy premade babyfood, but only organic ha.
I wanted a nursery that was pinterest worthy, toys made only of wood, clothes only of natural fibres.
I've just finished her nursery, she plays with the dog bowl more than her toys & wears handme downs & homemade knits & none of it matters to her (or me).
I wanted to be a mum of more than one.
But I'm too scared of what's happened to my body to even contemplate the thought of doing it again.
I wanted to go back to work but also be there for my baby.
I never realized how hard that decision would actually be, I feel for all the mums who don't have the choice or the support.
I wanted beautiful self portraits of my motherhood journey to share & maybe inspire.
I wore my farm boots & sat on a chair in the middle of our paddock to remind myself of the ridiculous standards we hold ourselves to. That real is more inspiring than perfect.
I visualized motherhood in so many ways other than how it played out.
All I really wanted was the daughter of my dreams & now I have her.
As I hold her, watch her grow each day, my heart & soul growing with her, I realise that's all that ever truly mattered.
#DearBabylist: "I’ve had 3 babies in a little over 3 years. .

My body has stretched and changed over and over and over. I have lost weight and I have gained weight. When I thought I couldn’t get any more stretch marks, more showed up. I have cellulite and squishy skin. .
.
But, I’m so damn proud of this body. Not only did it grow our sons, it has fed them and provided comfort for them after they were born. When I was done breastfeeding my first son, I was already pregnant with my second. Then when I was done breastfeeding my second son, I was pregnant with my third.
.
.
My body has been through a lot and it’s hard sometimes feeling like I don’t have my body to myself anymore. .
.
But the rest of the time, I’m so thankful and proud. I used to hate my stretch marks and the weight I’ve gained, but I’ve learned to look at what it’s created and know that that is worth all of the changes.
.
.
Loving your postpartum body is hard, but it’s possible. Forget about your old body because once you become a mother, your body is forever changed. Embrace those stretch marks, the cellulite, the extra weight and squishy tummy.
.
.
It may take some time for you to see the beauty in it all and that’s okay. It took me several years to get to that point.
.
.
So, if you’ve been struggling with your postpartum body...Know that you are beautiful. You are strong. Your body has brought a life into this world and that should be celebrated. Love your body how it is now, not when you lose a certain amount of weight or when you fit into a certain pair of pants.
.

Your baby loves you and how you look now and you should too ❤️" - @mandythemomma
