24 Celebs Who Aren’t Afraid To Show Off Their Bodies After Pregnancy

Every woman struggles with pregnancy and even postpartum depression differently. And to show what it indeed looks like, some celebrities are showing off all the variations of normalcy for both motherhood and postpartum. The aim is to spread body positivity and, importantly, to encourage new moms to embrace their stretch marks and other pregnancy battle scars.

Questions often emerge when a celebrity appears in the media soon after they had a new baby with a bounce-back body. A few aren’t always 100% honest with their answers, but most have chosen to instead show their natural post-baby bodies after giving birth. From Emily Ratajkowski to Ashley Graham, the celebs compiled below ditched the camera angles, filters, and Photoshop to you the reality. Have a look. 

Lauren Burnham Luyendyk.

“11 days [postpartum]. Just a reminder that not everyone gets a flat tummy back right after popping babies out, and it’s all good.

Karlie Kloss. 

After giving birth to her first kid, Levi, in March, the model showed the results of her hard work to reclaim her sculpted abs. On August 19th, Kloss posted on her Instagram Stories a photo in a green sports bra and black leggings, including her sculpted abs, five months after giving birth.

Robyn Lawley.

“I knew [the stretch marks] were coming, and as they’re fading into white (like all my others), I thought I might capture them.

Ashley Tisdale.

Ashley Tisdale cradles Jupiter Iris three months after giving birth, after writing a piece about not feeling at ease in her skin.
