I’m a mom – I have a jiggly belly but still wear bikinis on the beach, I’m not ashamed of my body
A CONTENT producer has bared her postpartum body on a beach in a bikini with total pride.
This mom may have a jiggly belly, but she was not remotely ashamed of her curves.
She has carried a child to full-term and feels a sense of gratification and fulfillment at what her body is capable of.
There was no hiding away of her belly in her video for TikTok user Rebecca Ann (@raisingrebecca).
Her belly provided a safe growing environment for her baby, so why not celebrate that, said Rebecca.
This Australian lady said women are too hard on themselves after they have had their babies.
“We are our worst critics,” she said.
But her post brought comfort to other women feeling unconfident in their figures after giving birth.
She summed up her presence on her platform simply as: “Here for a good time.”
This was demonstrated in bucketloads in her video.
Lying on a beach, she wore a red two-piece: “Wear the bikini mama,” she said.
“He’s going to like it,” she wrote, indicating her partner lying next to her.
She sprung up onto her feet and glorified in her new body.
“We moms, we grow humans. It’s normal.”
Her post was rounded off with an entreaty to other moms: “Wear the flopping bikini, mama.”
Commenters loved her confidence and her chutzpah.
“I literally just tried on a bikini at the store and I felt so terrible about myself. Thank you for posting this,” wrote one person.
“Omg, thank you for this. Just realized I made a baby so my body changed,” said a second.
This fan loved it too: “This made my day, thanks girl. Put a smile on my face.”
And this lady was able to view her postpartum state in a new light: “Made me feel a bit better about my new body.”
