Im currently studying photography and finishing my second year. Ive been looking into how the media portrays women and how images are altered. This then led me onto thinking about how Im feeling about my body at the moment and how even though were creating a life their is still a great demand for us to not gain too much weight and look good.
Ive decided to do this for my dissertation next year and Im starting research so juts wondered how you all felt about your pre/during/post pregnancy bodies.
I know for me its been very difficult to accept that my body is changing and that after Ive had my little one I will have to accept whatever has happened to my body. People then making jokes and saying 'fatty' is not really helping. Why is it acceptable to make fun of a pregnant persons shape?? We have just as much pressure from the media from this magazines that are showing pregnant celebraties all made up and styled and then the airbrushed images of pregnant people on the magazines.
How do you all feel about it??? (thanks btw )
