If you’re a mom and you’re on social media, chances are that you’ve seen a celebrity post “perfect-looking” pictures of themselves 1 month after having a baby. Meanwhile, you have dirty hair and spit-up on the shirt you’ve been wearing for 2 days and still wearing maternity sweats. The idea that we need to bounce back after baby is known as ‘bounce back culture.' It's everywhere, and it can be harmful on both the physical and mental health of moms.
In this episode of the Strong Mama Podcast, I chat with Natalie Welch, RD of Natalie Welch Nutrition. In our conversation we talk about the societal pressures to bounce back after having a baby, and the harmful mental and physical effects of doing so. She also shares valuable insights to help stop comparing your journey to others and tips to support your postpartum healing and goals from a healthy place.
