Dad posts side by side photograph embracing his postpartum body
Postpartum is when we tend to be at our most vulnerable.
We put a mountain of pressure on ourselves to get back to how we were pre-pregnancy when we should embrace our bodies for the miracle of life we created.
Moreover, we should probably take some of our dads confidence, as they have embraced postpartum life in all it's glory apparently.
One dad has posted a photo to Reddit, showing how life with kids can have an imminent effect on dads as well as mums.
Captioning the photo, the dad-of-two stated: "145 lbs to 180 lbs, married, with two kids, in four years."
In four years this dad gained almost 40 pounds, showing a side by side photograph of his body four years ago, and his body today.
When asked how he made the transition, he revealed: "A consistent diet of eating whatever your pregnant wife wants and copious amounts beer. It was tough but I'm proud of the results!"
Plenty of dads have joined in on the conversation too, with some sharing their stories of how they gained weight alongside their pregnant partners.
"I gained pound for pound along with wife for nine months. Then she lost it all but I kept it. Not fair," commented one user.
While another added: "Welcome to my world. I weighed 135 all through high school, once the wife got pregnant I went to 185 and haven't looked back."
These dads are top notch – this is what dad life looks like now, lol.
