A blogger who went viral for showcasing her ʜᴜɢᴇ stomach while pregnant with triplets has continued to post pictures of her real post-partum body – including her slowly shrinking baby ʙᴜᴍᴘ.
Maria Nordø Jørstad, who is originally from Norway but lives in Denmark, has been sharing snaps of her adorable triplets – Iben, Filip and Agnes – and also her ever-changing body on her Instagram account, Triplets of Copenhagen.
The mother-of-four is keen to speak about the ‘ᴛᴀʙᴏᴏtopic of her post-baby body, and hasn’t sʜɪᴇᴅ ᴀᴡᴀʏ Fʀᴏᴍ ᴛᴀʟᴋɪɴɢ about how long she is taking to ʀᴇᴄᴏᴠᴇʀ.
Maria told Femail: ‘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.’
Maria, whose follower count shot up from 4,000 to more than 200,000 in just a week after sharing a video of her ʙᴜᴍᴘ at 34 weeks, has been widely praised by mothers for her pictures.
A recent photograph of her body four weeks after giving birth has racked up nearly 25,000 likes and hundreds of ᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇɴᴛs praising her honesty.
Another added: ‘I’m so glad you posted this picture because it is ʜᴏʀʀɪʙʟᴇ [that we] live in a fake world… Not every woman have beautiful body after pregnancy…’
One Instagram follower wrote: ‘Thank you for being so honest and brave! Lots of Love and Respect from Germany!’
Now the mother, who works as a producer on documentaries, is hoping her story will inspire others to share their own and be honest about their bodies after giving birth. She believes that the world is going ᴛʜʀᴏᴜɢʜ ᴀ ʙɪɢ ᴄʜᴀɴɢᴇ and more women are feeling comfortable about sharing their real stories – especially in the post-Me Too era. She plans to continue sharing her post-partum body and her eagerness to get her body back to normal.
