Amanda Bacon In just 24 hours, she has become a known and recognized mother on the Internet thanks to this photo that accumulates more than 300 thousand reactions and has been shared more than 90 thousand times.
He has titled it "Uncensored Motherhood" because he wanted to show the aspects of motherhood and postpartum that nobody talks about, those that nobody shows, those that people hide and that should be better known, shared and mentioned. So that motherhood is not explained only the most beautiful and idyllic, but also the most raw, the wildest and most natural.
Let's talk about everything, uncensored
When I explained a few weeks ago why I think no recent mother should spend a lot of time alone, I said it: young couples need talk about motherhood and fatherhood without half truths, without manipulations, without disguising it all of lights and violas. Because many believe it is so and when they see the baby they feel totally lost. And they, the ones that give birth, are the ones that suffer the most.
It is what he wanted to do Amanda Bacon by sharing on her Facebook this photo that her husband took as a mother. A photo that accompanied a very sincere and accurate text in which he said that "motherhood is that impressive, messy and fucking fun, all at once."
That being a mother is something precious, unforgettable; One of the best experiences that no one can live in your life, but the best. But it's many more things, like the reality of a postpartum who "doesn't talk enough", much less "enough photography".
And that although many people this photo may bother them, she does not understand. Because we should all try to "educate, empower and embrace every aspect of childbirth." And do it with sense of humor to "be able to welcome motherhood with an adorable baby and a giant mother's diaper."
Finally, she wanted to make it clear that although the photo had been taken by her husband, it was she who shared it on Facebook. It was she who decided to upload it and talk about it.
But ... you don't need to upload photos like that either
Well, no, or the same. And probably the second. Of course, many people will not share images like this because of shame, but if in a day more than 90 thousand people have shared it, it is clear that many women feel the need to show this, to speak it, to lose the fear of this part of motherhood, to eliminate taboos.
Yes. Motherhood is also this: to see you with a body that seems to not belong to you and to which you no longer see much sense because the baby is already out; see you with a giant compress while suffering losses; see you with your hair anyway, without makeup and without being able to put on your clothes; seeing yourself responsible for a baby that doesn't have to be as they told you it would be, that there are times when he cries and you don't know how to calm him down; Y see you many times alone, when it seemed that you were going to be more accompanied than ever because that of motherhood was supposed to be the most wonderful thing in the world, in every way.
