Edit Why appearance is not just skin deep

<p><strong>Poor Body Image and Motherhood</strong></p> <p>Women struggling with self-image issues can find pregnancy challenging and many new mothers dislike their post-pregnancy figure and find it hard to lose the weight they put on.  Lots of new mothers still weigh more 9 months after birth and some never regain their pre-pregnancy body. Mothers who are dissatisfied with their bodies have worse mental health, putting them at risk of post-natal depression. They are more likely to over-eat to self-soothe or to under-eat.</p> <p>Physical health problems can occur if the woman is unable to get her fitness levels back, such as chronic back pain, a larger than-average abdomen, a weak bladder and loss of sensitivity during sex.</p>
