Back to Beauty PageIt's no secret that a lot of women's bodies will change dramatically during pregnancy, but influencer Jadé Brycki wants mums to re-think this. Sharing two shots of herself in a bikini side by side, she explained this was a different kind of before-and-after post, reflecting on her own postpartum experience. Brycki is soaking up every moment of her first summer with her son Fletcher, who she shares with husband Lachie, and revealed why she's accepting the changes to her body right now."A different kind of before and after. To anyone who's about to have or just had a baby – please go easy on yourself," she wrote.

"You grew an entire human being inside of your belly. A human. A whole entire body lived inside of yours for nine months and then came out of that place whole and complete." Brycki continued by reminding mums their new body was the home for their baby, and still is now a special place for them too.
