After visiting her personal trainer for the first time since giving birth, Australian mum Mel Rymill was upset after she felt pressured into losing all of the baby weight. 'Obviously you want to get back to your pre-baby weight' was the comment made by her PT. 'It was not a question, it was a statement' she said in her post. Mel is desperate to show people that their is nothing wrong with keeping a bit of weight on you as long as you are healthy. Pregnancy can result in a lot of weight gain for some women.

From there began #BadassUndies as the picture of her in her 'nana undies and bedtime nursing bra' was shared over 8000 times. Other women began sharing their stories and showing off their mummy tummies too. Mel first posted on Facebook but the movement has shifted all across social media platforms and Instagram particularly. Body shaming is unfortunately still far too present, and public figures like Cheryl Fernadez-Versini have addressed the the case before. Women doing this are not trying to offend anyone, just let people know that there it is not a crime to have some baby weight. It is nearly inevitable. Mums are posting their selfies and their stories which are sparking some very supportive comments.
The moral of the story is don't body shame guys. Some mums go through such a traumatic pregnancy, the least that can be done is not remind them that they are bigger than before. Even if some really don't care. To them it is a symbol of having given life and their bodies have changed, yes, but all for good reason. As long as they feel healthy then that is what counts. So let's support these mums as they stand strong again body shaming.
