'My husband told me I was repulsive and fat after having our baby’

It’s a harsh reality that many women face after childbirth - their bodies change. For some, these changes are met with understanding and love from their partners, but for others, it becomes the root of a painful issue.

One woman, who has chosen to remain anonymous, has opened up about the struggles in her marriage after her husband confessed that he was "repulsed" by her postpartum body. “I had my first child at the age of 25, and like many new mums, my body changed after my son’s birth.

Before pregnancy, I weighed 114 lbs (51 kg), and now, two years postpartum and still breastfeeding, I weigh around 128 lbs (58 kg).

It’s not a huge difference, but it’s noticeable,” she shared. “My relationship with my husband became strained after we became parents, but I never realised the real issue was my body - until recently.
