I think I wanna delete this app

I feel very torn. After I had my miscarriage I found the women on this app massively supportive. I was given many words of hope and comfort that genuinely helped me through. To those women I’d like to say thank you. During my pregnancy I loved and still love the birth stories and baby pics. Fantastic powerful generous women!

Here comes the but...in the main feed I see lots and lots of women promoting a very skewed ideas about body image both during and after pregnancy. I’m genuinely concerned about what we are promoting. There doesn’t even seem to be room to discuss or challenge these views. There is often a viciousness in many of the comments that just doesn’t seem necessary. Very defensive. I often feel down after scrolling through posts. It doesn’t feel like a healthy place to be.
