We want to help people get comfortable with their pregnant and postpartum bodies, but we know it’s not always easy. We want to start conversations, share real stories, as well as create high-performing products which look as good as they feel. We'll be sharing postpartum diaries from Modibodi team members as well as people from our community, to share real, raw and personal stories - as no birth story is the same!
