Many people expect a mother that has given birth to return to her sexy figure almost instantly. Because of this, there are many of those who have hidden their postpartum bodies out of shame. And to make their flabby tummies unnoticeable, they wear oversized shirts and just shy away from the camera. They only flaunt their bodies again after they have successfully gotten their shape back.
Many think that celebrity moms, since they have nannies to take care of their baby, can just focus on making their bodies awesome again after giving birth. They can readily do the needed activities that will help them get back in shape. However, this is not usually the case since every woman is different. And for those who have gone through delivery, getting the pre-pregnancy bod back is not an easy and quick process. Many changes happen to a mother’s body. But, there is no need to be ashamed of these transformations. It is essential for every woman to embrace the changes and not feel ugly about how pregnancy has changed them.
Be inspired by these celebrities who are not embarrassed to share their postpartum bodies. As a matter of fact, they are rocking it and are proud.
1. Ali Manno Fedotowsky
“Self love is a difficult thing to fully embrace. When I look at myself in the mirror I can’t help but notice that my hips are wider than they used to be, my wrinkles are deeper than when I was in my 20’s, and my stomach has lumps and bumps that didn’t used to be there. But then I try to remember that my hips are wider because they give birth to two beautiful children. My wrinkles are deeper because I’ve spent countless sleepless nights making sure my kiddos are cared for, fed, and loved.”
2. Jamie Otis
“6 wks postpartum!🤱🏻 Photos taken a minute apart. Isn’t it amazing what sucking it in & pulling up your yoga pants does!🤣”
3. Brie Bella
“It’s been such a magical time✨ After giving birth it’s essential to take care of yourself so you can take care of the new love in your life too! Recovery the second time around has been so different in a good way because I was way more prepared”
4. Sadia Slayy
“Ive decided to share this even though it makes me 100% vulnerable to all of you and your judgements. I’m here to show you that we aren’t perfect. We all have flaws, and here is one of mine. I want you to feel better about yours and not be ashamed.”
5. Hilaria Baldwin
“I took this yesterday when Leonardo was about 24 hours old. I did the same thing right after Rafael was born. It always makes me a bit nervous to do something like this, but I feel that in the age of such strong body shaming, I want to do all that I can to normalize a real body and promote healthy self esteem.”
6. Pink
“Would you believe I’m 160 pounds and 5’3″? By ‘regular standards’ that makes me obese. I know I’m not at my goal or anywhere near it after Baby 2 but dammit I don’t feel obese. The only thing I’m feeling is myself. Stay off that scale ladies!”
7. Kate Hudson
“So…here we go! The routine with our baby is getting more familiar and I’m ready to start taking a little time in the day focusing on myself. For me that means my health. Why? Because I wanna be around a long time for these three kiddos of mine.”
8. Jenny Mollen
“Not anorexia, it’s a thyroid issue. I don’t know what it says about me that I got this thin and didn’t think there was anything wrong. Last Friday, I had a bulge in my neck that finally got me to the doctor. I’m STILL waiting on blood work but my doc thinks it’s Graves. If you just had a baby and have lost an inordinate amount of weight, feel like you are on cocaine, are suddenly heat intolerant, can’t stop losing hair, and think your husband is being a dick it might just be your thyroid!! Get checked ASAP”
9. Amy Schumer
10. Peta Murgatroyd
“I took this photo 8 days post birth. I left the hospital looking 5 months pregnant. Many people think a woman should shrink right back to her pre-birth weight immediately. That is just not the truth for most.”
11. Katy Perry
12. Catherine Guidici
“She escaped! #1weekpost”
13. Desiree Siegfried
“I’m not typically one to document or especially share body image pics but the more and more postpartum pics I see from you all- the more empowering I feel the message can be to new moms- or anyone for that matter!. So here I am 4 days postpartum looking like I’m still pregnant but feeling like a supermodel/ warrior. Haha.”
14. Daphne Oz
“Seven weeks post partum, still looking three months pregnant 🤗 there is no bounce-back, it’s all onwards and upwards. every day has moments of total splendor and also a decent number of WTFs.”

27. Jamie Otis
28. Bekah Martinez
“Every mom bod is different—
some are thin and some are round,
some are wrinkly and some are hairy,
some are light and some are brown. No one’s body is “🤢”. If you think otherwise, kindly fuck off or unfollow 🙃”
29. Carly Waddell
“It’s been a week since Charlie was born, he is the greatest blessing and one of the greatest lessons for me as a mom. I had all these hopes and dreams that postpartum would be easier this time. But I still ache. I’m healing. I’m tried.”
30. Loren Brovarnik
“Today I am 13 days postpartum. I’m beyond exhausted. I haven’t brushed my hair in 2 weeks (I’m lucky if I can shower for 5 min a day). I haven’t worn makeup in who knows how long. I’ve been pooped and peed on regularly. I’m nursing every 2 hours, like clock work. I’ve never smiled bigger and I’ve never been happier.”
31. Camila Nakagawa
“Dis my body & I love it #stretchmarksandall⚡️💥🌼🎵💕✨ @analuisany
–
I just want to point out that its OK if you have to work for your self love. It might come easy to some and that’s amazing if it does, for me it never did.”
32. Cardi B
33. Rachel Platten

34. Teddi Mellencamp
“My Day 3 postpartum reality: It is unbelievable, unconditional love. It is an incredibly powerful bond that Dove and I share. It is tears of joy watching Edwin light up when he’s with her.”
35. Millie Mackintosh
“I try to live a healthy, balanced lifestyle and I count myself lucky that throughout my adult life I’ve felt and identified as pretty body confident but now all that has changed along with every other aspect of my life, which makes me look at my body in a totally new light and it’s been a big adjustment!”
36. Daniella Monet

38. Jade Roper
“Women’s bodies are seriously phenomenal! It’s taking my uterus more time to return to its normal state this time around, but honestly I have never loved my body more than I have this postpartum.”
39. Jenna Cooper
“I wanted to make sure that you all could see that my postpartum belly is still here🙃 I’ve received the sweetest and most encouraging messages, and wanted to say thank you so much! Your compliments have really helped my confidence, but I just want to make sure you know that I’ve struggled with with body changes, new emotions and responsibilities, and being hard on myself just like you in the stories that you are telling me!”
40. Carrie Underwood
“I’m going to be honest, “bouncing back” after having Jacob has been much more difficult than after I had Isaiah and I’ve been pretty hard on myself lately.”
41. Jazz Charton
“This is me 4 days postpartum – I live in sexy surgical mesh underwear that’s keeping a world of pain in check, my boobs are engorged, I burst blood vessels In my face from pushing, my big pregnant belly that I loved so much deflated to a mere paunch but it’s all so worth it.”
42. Gretchen Rossi
43. Kayla Rae Reid

I still can’t work out yet but I feel much better. I was cut twice during my 3 hr Csection but I made it! I’ve always been healthy and worked out my entire life…whatever my body will do I’m not rushing it. It feels good to start to feel myself again.”
47. Katrina Scott
