what a body actually looks like a few months postpartum šŸ˜… Look, I think these women are amazing!! I will always celebrate women making healthy choices and working on themselves...BUT in a society that expects women to bounce back in 3.5 seconds, I want to normalize moving at your own pace too ā¤ļø

I didn’t even start THINKING about snapping back until 12 weeks pp and I’m so glad for it. Those first few months were spent adjusting to motherhood, learning how to care for my baby, getting to know myself in this role. And in still not at my ā€œpre baby bodyā€ - still a work in progress!!

So don’t fall into the comparison trap. Not to mention that celebrities have personal cooks, trainers, nannys, housekeepers… you get the point. If you’re freshly postpartum, just soak it all in, don’t rush - your fitness routine will be waiting for you when you’re ready

For the first one you wait 12 weeks, after the second you wait 12 years šŸ˜‚

Girl i dont think its normalizing, every woman has different story. They can show in a run way after 6 weeks postpatrum and you can post a video of how you are after giving birth. Different stories but both deserve to be recognized and acknowledged. No need to drag each other down.

Let's also think about the fact that women have different body types. Some were already on the thinner side and can bounce back easily. Some are not and it's perfectly okay and normal ā¤ļø

These women have a lot of money to get treatments , intensive workout routines and surgeries. After all , their body is their job and what pays their bills so they have to.

barb is a rock star.. they were not normalizing the ā€œsnap backā€ they empowered her 6 weeks postpartum. she killed it! maybe we shouldn’t judge her post partum body just as you are asking not to be judged šŸ«¶šŸ»

Difference is this is literally their job, they are supposed to look like a supermodel where as we are not and don’t get paid thousands to do so.

It’s her job. Her body is her job. she has resources the average woman does not. I can’t compare my postpartum body to hers. But appreciate where we are all at. It’s okay that I don’t look like her, it’s not my job. I’m not a professional model. Or a professional athlete. I don’t have to be in front of a camera. It’s okay

Okay but also you probably weren't a super model beforehand. It wasnt your job to be, so your body may not bounce back like them. Im no super model, Ive been a big girl but toned, when I had my baby I bounced back to a flat belly in a few weeks and started toning again. I think it just depends on what your body is already.

Nobody is normalizing, looking like a supermodel, freshly postpartum… We can appreciate every postpartum body, and not say that one is more normal, or that one is a real postpartum body. There is nothing wrong with either. No one is pushing that you have to look like a Victoria’s Secret supermodel, freshly postpartum. I say this, as someone who is four months postpartum with my second, and I do have to work out every single day to have the body that I want. I am not as blessed as others, and I can still celebrate their wins. Because if she feels good and healthy, that is all that matters.

We have to remember this is their JOB! They started out pregnancy extremely fit, have great metabolisms and can afford trainers! It may not be normal for us, but it’s normal for them!
