The transformations of pregnancy and motherhood can often magnify self-image. Many women discover a new physical empowerment, but others are left feeling a quiet misery of unattractiveness. There’s no doubt, though, that most of us would change something about ourselves in an instant. It’s easy to think that other women are managing postpartum changes better than we are. The reality is that no matter how we feel about our bodies yesterday, now, or tomorrow, there are millions of women around us feeling exactly the same way. Mothers post on social media about their frustrations with their postpartum bodies. Their comments range from humorous resignation about their “tiger stripes” and “wobbly” bellies to dark depression and self-loathing.
Here are two other myths that often gets relegated to the backseat.
1) Breastfeeding makes your breast's sag or change shape. Reality is that age, gravity, pregnancy, weight gain or loss, and genetics have more effect on breast appearance than breastfeeding.
2) Small breast's don't product as much milk as large ones. Size doesn't matter when it comes to feeding your child. Every mom needs support when it comes to initating breastfeeding.
