Great doubt-buster

Many people who've chosen not to have kids have moments where they doubt their choice. In "Baby Not on Board" I include a list of doubt-busters to help navigate those moments. Well add "The Shape of a Mother" blog to that list.

Women post photographs of their bodies to the site during and after their pregnancy. It's intended to be a celebration of motherhood and women's bodies--and I certainly don't mean to disparage it. In fact, I admire the courage of the women who share these images of themselves with each other and the world. I think showing the world what real women look like is an important and noble thing to do. I'm glad this blog exists.

But people who don't want children need validation, too. And I gotta say looking at these photos made me love my childfree body even more.
