The article was on post pregancy care and no I am not going to discuss about it today but the sentence that really got me interested was this:
"The uterus grows exponentially, organs are pushed aside, our center of gravity shifts outward, we rapidly gain weight, and someone literally kicks us from the inside."
Interesting how a female body is designed to grow a life, get our organs pushed aside, legs swollen to a size you can never imagine, get many uncomfortable kicks from within and after the birth of the child the body still does wonders by producing milk. Trust me the number of times i could relate to a cow in the past 2 years that I should really celebrate Paatu Pongal as well.
After going through all of it with a human getting out of you, the society will expect you to loss all the weight within weeks!
How is that even possible?
On my niece 30th day prayer, my cousin was subjected to someone asking her why is her boobs so big after childbirth? And interestingly the comment was from a female.
What were you expecting a new mum boobs to be like? She is lactating and NO she is also shocked just like you as to why is it soo big but she has to hide her emotions because now she got this little life she brought into the world to look after.
I was and still am subjected to the question of my body weight to why am i sooo fat still.
It is not even your body, so why do you care if the other person have lost the baby weight ot not? Why is that even a topic of discussion?
Why not just congratulate the mother for suviving childbirth and still kicking and being alive!
Amazing how society works and the kind of questions we are subjected to!
