Danisha’s one-week postpartum photo got over 300,000 views. In her post, she shared a quote from Lestaevel:
“When we criticize ourselves—whether it’s about our body or something else—we create resistance inside us. It blocks our natural energy and peace.”
Just two weeks after giving birth, Danisha’s videos had already reached nearly 16 million views. She used her platform to remind everyone how amazing the human body is — especially for simply keeping us alive. She encouraged people to accept their bodies as they are, even if they don’t love them. After all, our bodies create life — and that’s pretty incredible. As she says,
“Our bodies are meant to be and do, not just look a certain way.”
Then came her three-week postpartum post — wrinkles, stretch marks, and all. That video exploded with over 19 million views. The response on TikTok was mixed.
Some people appreciated her honesty and praised her for showing a side of motherhood that’s usually hidden. Others were shocked, with a few commenting things like,
“I’m never having kids.”
But many supported her and all moms, calling them strong and brave.
Danisha’s journey shows that we’ve made progress in how we talk about post-baby bodies — but there’s still a lot of work to do in truly normalizing them.
💬 The Comment Section Became a Sisterhood
One mom wrote,
“I thought something was wrong with me. You made me feel normal.”
Another said,
“I cried watching this. Finally, someone said it.”
The video became a support group disguised as a comment thread.
🧘♀️ Smashing the “Snapback” Lie
The “snapback” trend?
A toxic myth that a woman’s body should magically go back to its pre-baby state. Fast.
Sarah’s video tore that lie apart.
She showed her belly rolls, stretch marks, and C-section scar.
And proudly said,
“This is what a warrior looks like.”
