Motherhood changes a women's beauty. These women are dealing with it by addressing it and sharing the changes that others can feel better about themselves.

Great clip Bear! You know we all get tied up into what is beauty thingy. It's very difficult on women and we are under so much pressure to be unnaturally beautiful in so many ways and our self esteem is so tied up into our looks. Men don't experience life in this way and I commend you for calling attention to it.

Great clip. If he doesn't love after his baby is born well I question if he loved her before he impregnated her. What did he love then? Her flat belly? Or her tight vagina? So no thoughts of growing old gracefully?

Even the little kid doesn't seem thrilled about it.

More truth and honesty!

As she lifted it up to fit between the tables, her shirt raised and I saw that, although she was at a healthy weight and her body was fit, she had that same extra skin hanging around her belly that I do. It occurred to me that a post-pregnancy body is one of this society's greatest secrets; all we see of the female body is that which is airbrushed and perfect, and if we look any different, we hide it from the light of day in fear of being seen. That makes me want to cry. Sure we all talk about the sagging boobs and other parts, but no one ever sees them. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://theshapeofamother.com/">It is my dream, then, to create this website where women of all ages, shapes, sizes and nationalities can share images of their bodies so it will no longer be secret.
