It’s no secret that our society idolizes celebrities. Their extravagant lives, their fame, their ‘perfect’ bodies and faces. We’ve built them up as “superhuman”. But the truth is, they’re human just like us. And these celebs are sharing what it’s like to be a new mom. For real.
Here are 47 celebs showing their post-partum bodies.
You’re not alone, moms.
1. Sadia Slayy
“Ive decided to share this even though it makes me 100% vulnerable to all of you and your judgements. Iām here to show you that we arenāt perfect. We all have flaws, and here is one of mine. I want you to feel better about yours and not be ashamed.”
2. Brie Bella
“Itās been such a magical timeāØ After giving birth itās 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”
3. 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!”
4. 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.”
5. Jenny Mollen
“Not anorexia, itās a thyroid issue. I donāt know what it says about me that I got this thin and didnāt think there was anything wrong. Last Friday, I had a bulge in my neck that finally got me to the doctor. Iām STILL waiting on blood work but my doc thinks itās 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, canāt stop losing hair, and think your husband is being a dick it might just be your thyroid!! Get checked ASAP”
6. Kate Hudson
“So…here we go! The routine with our baby is getting more familiar and Iām 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.”
7. Katy Perry
8. 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.”
9. Amy Schumer
10. Jamie Otis
“6 wks postpartum!š¤±š» Photos taken a minute apart. Isnāt it amazing what sucking it in & pulling up your yoga pants does!š¤£”
11. Desiree Siegfried
“Iām 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 Iām still pregnant but feeling like a supermodel/ warrior. Haha.”
12. Catherine Guidici
“She escaped! #1weekpost”
13. Ashley Graham
14. Daphne Oz
“Seven weeks post partum, still looking three months pregnant š¤ there is no bounce-back, itās all onwards and upwards. every day has moments of total splendor and also a decent number of WTFs.”
15. Tia Mowry
“7 weeks #postpartum. Some #pregnant women after giving birth no longer have a belly after 7 weeks. While others it may take a little longer. Me, Iām the latter.”
16. Melissa Suffield
17. Jenny Mollen
“I just met my new c-section scar for the first time this morning. Thank you Dr. Albert Sassoon for your artistry. Because I wish somebody had shown me a pic like this 9months ago, I’d like to insist this be your new business card.”
18. Daphne Oz

30. Cardi B
31. Loren Brovarnik
“Today I am 13 days postpartum. Iām beyond exhausted. I havenāt brushed my hair in 2 weeks (Iām lucky if I can shower for 5 min a day). I havenāt worn makeup in who knows how long. Iāve been pooped and peed on regularly. Iām nursing every 2 hours, like clock work. Iāve never smiled bigger and Iāve never been happier.”
32. Camila Nakagawa

35. Millie Mackintosh
“I try to live a healthy, balanced lifestyle and I count myself lucky that throughout my adult life Iāve 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 itās been a big adjustment!”
36. Daniella Monet
37. Jamie Otis

38. Jade Roper
“Womenās bodies are seriously phenomenal! Itās 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 hereš Iāve 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 Iāve 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
“Iām going to be honest, ābouncing backā after having Jacob has been much more difficult than after I had Isaiah and Iāve been pretty hard on myself lately.”
41. Jazz Charton
“This is me 4 days postpartum – I live in sexy surgical mesh underwear thatās 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 itās all so worth it.”

46. Jessie James Decker
“Iāll be honest I still get insecure when I put a swimsuit on sometimes because of how much loose skin I have from my pregnancies. I worked really hard to lose all of my baby weight. Even gaining 55 pounds with my first. Itās no wonder I have so much loose skin two out of the three babies were 9 pounds š¬”
47. Kenya Moore
