RECENTLY THE INTERNET has been awash with talk of the dad bod. Namely:

That specific type of guy’s body who is not fit or unfit – but might carry a little extra weight – is essentially the definition.

But what about mom bod? Is that a thing?

I guess the #DadBod is officially the newest trend. What about the #MomBod? Can that also be a thing?

Yes, it’s now here as a direct response to the dadbod.

This hilarious video from Fusion sums up how the mom bod really belongs to “most women who ate this year”

I would really love to live in a world where being a mildly overweight woman was found attractive #MomBod

Also, a complete acceptance of this fact

Whoops!

And the real possibility that you might have one more than your actual mam

Whoops!

And finally, the mom bod allows you to absolutely rock your body no matter its shape or size

Whoops!

It’s the internet trend we’ve all been waiting for.
