Postpartum Body Image and Burlesque

Being a mom is hard enough without adding to that all the crazy, postpartum body issues that seem to inevitably arise.

Today we discuss just that, the postpartum body issues and performing Burlesque pre and post-baby. How has pregnancy, planned or unplanned, changed the way we view ourselves (both mentally and physically)? How have our careers changed or surprisingly, not changed? What can we do to get back our sexy?
