Understanding the history of pregnant women back in the days, has made me realize how vein and shallow our society has become. Now a days women want to achieve a perfect body right after delivering a baby, disregarding the different side effects this can bring to them. Women follow other celebrities and other women on social media trying to achieve a certain look after giving birth. Instead women should understand that having a baby is a miracle not only because they were able to give life but because they survived the child birth, which can not be said for many women back in the days who gave their lives in order to bring their child in to this world. If person is serious about loosing the baby weight they should consult their doctor first and begin a healthy diet including exercising. Getting a journal to document their activities throughout the day can also help them, this will remind them when they are falling off the wagon and what to do to keep focus to reach their weight goals. Following other people on social media is unhealthy, not only it becomes frustrating when the regular mom can’t lose 30 pounds like certain celebrities or other women, but this can cause the woman to suffer fro anorexia, bulimia and other eating disorders. In the long run this will affect the baby because he/she will not get 100% attention from the mother or no breast milk since the mother needs to eat healthy in order to produce breast milk. Family and friends will also become affected from the obsession of weight loss since the person will eventually withdraw themselves and lock themselves in their own feelings. Family and friends can also help the postpartum mother by eating healthier and encouraging her to stay away from social media and to focus more on her new born.
