The postpartum bounce back is an individual experience. One which has swallowed me up and spat me out a few times. Why TF are we bouncing backward? In a world full of unrealistic expectations this one really gives me the ick. In every other aspect of life growth and personal development is celebrated, our scars and experiences are seen as tools for upgrading yourself physically and mentally. Yet in the world of pregnancy and postpartum the fixation on "bouncing back" is overwhelming and quite frankly outdated.
I hope you new mamas hear me loud and clear when I say; we are bouncing forward babes. No going back!
