I remember my mom saying that after you have a baby you get really thin. So you gain all that weight and then you just lose it and keep losing it.
My saddlebags are why Spanx exist! Now that I have a baby I also have a muffin top.
I was more active pregnant than I ever was not pregnant. I was doing Body By Simone five days a week. That definitely helped me shed the weight after giving birth. But it's all smoke and mirrors, too. People on Instagram forget that you're showing them what you want them to see. We have filters.
You don't even want to look in the mirror after you've had a baby, because your stomach is just hanging there like a Shar-Pei.
I wish new moms wouldn't be burdened with the pressure to get back into pre-baby shape so quickly.
I don't want to scar people with my baby flab. I have this extra skin that's hanging. I'm in shape, but my skin, from having a baby, is not cute, hanging off of my baby.
It's a huge change for your body. You don't even want to look in the mirror after you've had a baby, because your stomach is just hanging there like a Shar-Pei.
I tell myself that after four children my belly is already so stretched and flabby that I have to do origami to get my pants buttoned. One more pregnancy and I'd be doomed to elastic waists for the rest of my life.
I couldn't wait until after my third baby to get my body back and start being able to dress a little bit sexier again.
I think I forget every time - you give birth, and you want your stomach to be flat again. It does take a lot of work, but I usually start slowly by going on walks with the baby.
