Ahhh so understandable to feel some loss of self when your body is focused on nurturing a new life - and it’s all about that balance of fight and acceptance. I am all for healthy selfless acceptance that being a mother is forever but also starting the fight to reclaim your body for yourself fairly soon after baby arrives is a fair goal and does baby no harm. Kids need role models as well as carers.
