75% of Australian new mothers face body image issues post-birth due to social and media pressures, researchers say.
A new study finds that 75% of Australian new mothers experience body image concerns after childbirth, driven by social pressures, family expectations, and media portrayals promoting rapid weight loss.
Researchers stress that these issues are shaped by relationships and environments, not just individual feelings, and highlight supportive partners, non-judgmental healthcare providers, and routine screenings as protective factors.
They urge healthcare systems to adopt body-positive approaches and public messaging to promote self-compassion and functionality over appearance.
