      <title>The Naked Truth: A Mum Shows What a Real Post Baby Body Looks Like</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Sheffield, England -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 01/20/2014 --  Sheffield mum of two Fiona Hennessy owns and runs <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Bumps And Births" href="http://bumpsandbirths.co.uk/">Bumps And Births</a> and she wants to celebrate real women&apos;s post natal bodies so she got naked to show the world what a real mum&apos;s body looks like. <br />
<br />
Fiona was inspired to show the world her body after reading an amazing Facebook post by her friend Claire <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://goo.gl/ntG4zU" href="http://goo.gl/ntG4zU">http://goo.gl/ntG4zU</a> who got naked and showed off her post-baby body. Fiona went looking for more images of post-baby bodies and found the website <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://4thtrimesterbodies.com/" href="http://4thtrimesterbodies.com/">http://4thtrimesterbodies.com/</a>  which celebrates women&apos;s post birth bodies. This made Fiona want to do something similar and join the movement. <br />
<br />
"After seeing the pictures of other mum&apos;s after their babies I realised my body looked pretty similar trying to get my body back to its pre-baby shape was a big waste of time. I wanted to celebrate my body as it is rather than mourn what I have lost." Said Fiona.<br />
<br />
To show what a real woman looks like Fiona had her friend Chris take a photo of her so she could celebrate her body.<br />
<br />
Fiona works as a private antenatal instructor and her business <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://bumpsandbirths.co.uk" href="http://bumpsandbirths.co.uk/">http://bumpsandbirths.co.uk</a> regularly helps women have a more positive birth. Mums to be attending her classes often ask her questions about how her body was changed by carrying and then giving birth to two children. <br />
<br />
"Instead of sugar coating my response I told them the truth, I showed them how my body had changed. I explained my stomach muscles hadn&apos;t yet knitted back together and that I had a bigger, softer stomach, among other things." Said Fiona.<br />
<br />
The coming together of the interest from the people she works with and other mum&apos;s out there showing off their post-baby bodies inspired Fiona to write a blog post on the subject and attach her photo to show the world her body and the response has been amazing!<br />
<br />
Some of the comments so far include: <br />
"Beautiful and honest, I cried and smiled as i read this." Nat<br />
"That is so beautiful, photo and writing!" Lucy<br />
"just read story - wow it&apos;s amazing!" Gita<br />
