Résumé
L’objectif de cette étude est de documenter l’expérience subjective des femmes à l’égard de leur poids, leur image corporelle et leur alimentation en période postnatale. Pour ce faire, dix femmes, ayant donné naissance à un premier enfant il y a six mois, ont pris part à un entretien semi-structuré. Les résultats, obtenus à la suite d’une analyse thématique, s’organisent autour de deux grands axes, soit l’expérience subjective du corps chez les femmes et l’adaptation des comportements alimentaires en période postnatale. Ceux-ci se déclinent en plusieurs thèmes et sous-thèmes. Cette étude propose des implications cliniques et des pistes de recherches futures.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to document women's subjective experience of weight, body image and eating behaviors in the postpartum period. Ten women, who had given birth to their first child six months ago, were interviewed in a semi-structured interview. The results, obtained using a thematic analysis, are organized around two major axes, the women's subjective experience of the body and the adaptation of eating behaviors in the postpartum period, which are divided into several themes and sub-themes. This study suggests different clinical implications and avenues for future research.
