The present research is a review article which discusses and challenges previous studies and experiences. In this review article, the relevant papers to this subjects published in the period 2000-2015 were searched on PubMed Scopus and Google Scholar. These experiences may include physiological experiences such as weight, skin symptoms, hormone secretion, etc. or psychological experiences such as depression, mental imagery, and marriage. To establish a positive image of the body during pregnancy, pregnant women are recommended to be provided with information and consultation about body changes during pregnancy and after delivery. Accordingly, in addition to helping women to better and easier accept changes in pregnancy, the formation of unrealistic expectations during pregnancy and after delivery and also creation of a negative image and its adverse effects on the health of mother and fetus will be prevented.
