For many women, nothing compares to the joy of motherhood, and changes to their body that take place throughout pregnancy are for the most part celebrated. However, every woman knows their bundle of joy comes at a certain physical price.
Fluctuating hormones, weight changes and breast feeding can result in some significant body changes, especially with multiple pregnancies. Post-pregnancy body changes affect every mother differently, but there are certain areas where changes are particularly common, namely the breasts and abdomen. These changes often present as drooping, deflated, “empty” breasts, and sagging skin and excess fat around the abdomen and love handles. These changes can also affect a woman’s confidence and sense of self.
