A Norwegian blogger, and new mother-of-triplets, has gone viral after showcasing her HUGE stomach throughout her pregnancy and then the realities of her post-baby body.
Maria Nordø Jørstad has been openly sharing sweet snaps of her adorable triplets – Iben, Filip and Agnes – and has also freely documented her slowly changing body on her Instagram, Triplets of Copenhagen.
Maria, who also has another child, is keen to speak about the “taboo” topic of her post-baby body, and hasn’t shied away from sharing how long it’s taken her body to recover.
Speaking to Femail, Maria said: “I think I had it in the back of my mind [to continue taking pictures after giving birth], I thought it would be interesting to show the other side of it as well, because there aren’t many people who share that.
“[My stomach] is still showing, I was kind of surprised that it was still so big. I didn’t know that it takes such a long time to shrink.
“I found it kind of interesting, this is the reality for many women and you never see pictures like that.”
The 36-year-old continued, telling the publication, “I think that there has been a small revolution during the last few years – with the Me Too and Time’s up movements in front line – where women have started speaking up about female issues that until now has been kind of taboo. Not spoken about.
“And social media has been the biggest platform to share these personal stories, like how you look and feel like after giving birth.”
Fans of the blogger regularly praise her for posting bravely and honestly.
“You’re an amazing, strong woman”, one eager follower wrote.
Another added, “This picture is so raw and real, thank you.”
A third echoed, “You are amazing mama!”
