The 9-month journey of pregnancy is undoubtedly one of the toughest, both mentally and physically. The fitness influencer Paige Hathaway once shared how women are often pressured to bounce back right after giving birth and get back to their pre-pregnancy bodies. They are expected to ignore all the struggles that come around during the months of pregnancy.

She even added that society expects new mothers to take care of their children and calls them selfish when they start taking care of their health. She fell prey to it, letting pregnancy ruin her body. However, she came to her senses and that was when she proved everyone wrong. Here’s how!
