Laura, who has over 35,000 followers on Instagram continued: “It’s just like after I, and many other women, put on weight during pregnancy, don’t ‘bounce back’ we are labelled as letting ourselves go.”
She also pointed out the stereotypes and comments she often comes across under her posts.
The mum revealed: “As soon as a woman is considered as having let herself go, anything she does in that current state of ‘letting herself go’ doesn’t count.
“Me for example, talking about depression with unplucked eyebrows means what I say doesn’t have merit.
A woman who has given birth 18 months ago without having a washboard stomach must be lazy and anything she says about health isn’t true.”
Laura also commented on the beauty standards society expects of women, claiming “we’re not meant to show ourselves in any other state other than perfect”.
She said: “No one is meant to know what getting dressed up, applying make-up, fixing your wrinkles, exercising, lip filler, getting your nails done, shaving your legs – all of that is work.
“When we do that, we appear normal.
When we don’t, we’ve let ourselves go.”
The mum also urged others to look and wear what they want, saying “you don’t have to wear the most flattering outfit to be beautiful”.
She said she’s simply “embracing and letting herself be” and encouraged other women to do same.
She added: “So wear the sweatpants, the yoga pants and the trackies and let yourself go! Let yourself go of all society’s expectations.
“Your beauty is defined in you.”
Since she shared the naked post, it got thousands of likes and comments with mums praising her.

The clergyman who is the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God RCG, said this in a posted shared on his Instagram page on Tuesday night October 13. According to him, it is either Nigeria is “restructured or we break up.”
”I believe that we might want to look at the problems of Nigeria in a slightly different manner. Some people feel that all our problems will be over if Nigeria should break up. I think that is trying to solve the problems of Nigeria as if it is a Simple Equation.
The problems of Nigeria will require quite a bit of Simultaneous Equation and some of them are not going to be Linear either – forgive me I am talking as a Mathematician.
“Why can’t we have a system of government that will create what I will call the United States of Nigeria?
Let me explain.
We all know that we must restructure.
It is either we restructure or we break, you don’t have to be a prophet to know that one.
“Without any doubt, we must restructure and do it as soon as possible.
A United States of Nigeria is likely to survive than our present structure, this will help across every strata from the police force, military, customs, civil service as a whole.
Without any doubt the present system has just made things difficult for Nigerians young and old and I’m glad to see the new era that we are entering.
As we continue to pray and take actions, Let somebody shout hallelujah!
