Following this post too, I feel like I could’ve written it myself lol
By pink do you mean period? If so I feel this, I’m so tired
@Audrey no I mean "Finding your pink" or "getting your pink back" is a phrase used to describe the process of reconnecting with your identity after becoming a parent. It's a supportive trend that encourages new mothers to take time for themselves
@Hope gotcha! I’ve never heard of that before, but I am struggling with getting my pink back for sure. And I fear by the time I do get it back, I’ll want another baby lol
I don't have my pink or for that matter even white back.
I think we need to remember what this phrase actually comes from. Flamingos 🦩 They get there pink back after their babies are done using them for nutrients/ or they start eating more nutrients. Flamingos don’t go to the gym, shopping, hang with friends, do a hobby so why are we forcing ourselves to do the same to “get our pink back”? Start simple eat better, shower more, walk, get fresh air and realize if your still nursing not having your pink back is NORMAL! All your pink is going to that baby. (This is not a shame post but social media lately has made it this trend and I think it’s doing more harm than good)
