Millennial moms are getting real on TikTok with #Mombods and the #UglyBabyChallenge. This week, mom content is trending on the app as young(ish) moms share honest videos that show off their post-baby bodies and their less-than-cute kiddos. A video by user @brightnorthstudio has gone viral, racking up over a million views in a clip asking why society doesn’t embrace “mom bods,” and commenting “Because their ‘mom’ bod that literally birthed a human is not accepted, but a dad bod is.” Now, the audio from her video is being used by TikTok moms to proudly show off their post-kid bodies. Meanwhile, #uglybabies has over 4.7 million views as parents use the hashtag to post videos talking about their dreams of a perfect baby while pregnant only to reveal incredibly unflattering pictures of their newborns. It’s clear Millennial moms want more honest discussions and content about being a parent. (BuzzFeed, Refinery29)
