Shame on you snap back culture! How can we ACCEPT our bodies in different stages of life!? - with Jen of MumSafe

In our 124th episode of Beyond the Bump, we chat with Jen, the founder of MumSafe, all about postpartum body issues and this idea of snapping back to our pre-baby bodies and looking like we've never had children!

• When it comes to mass media and general conversations about “real” postpartum and “real” mum life, are we heading in the right direction or is it getting worse?
• Why does society always compliment someone when they lose weight, when in reality, the weight loss could be a reason being stress and/or postnatal depression?
• The unhealthy and unrealistic mindset of “snapping back” to our pre-baby body.
• Advice to women who have always been affected by body image and are terrified of what their body will look like after birth. 
• Is it okay to have wishes to look smaller and leaner?
• Why we need to shift our focus from body-love to body-acceptance.
• C-sections!!! Advice to women who are struggling with insecurities over their c-section scars as well as the inability to exercise. 
• How and when to know when we can safely return to movement and exercise postpartum. 
• Tips for pregnant women who are worried about this next stage of life.
• And so much MORE!!!

We hope you absolutely LOVE this episode!
