16 Celebrity Moms Who Honestly Show What a Woman Looks Like After Giving Birth

A young mother after difficult childbirth receives a crying baby, sometimes even two or three. Besides the already challenging situation, society starts to shame her: don’t breastfeed in public, get yourself together, get rid of stretch marks. It’s time to put an end to these demands. Celebrities are standing up to defend all young moms and are sharing honest photos, telling about the reality of being new parents.

Graham is one of the most sought-after plus-size models. However, she successfully balances a busy schedule with caring for her three sons. As well as talking about beauty standards, Ashley is candid about all the challenges of motherhood, embracing her postnatal body and other nuances faced by young moms.

Drew Barrymore

Barrymore urges women not to beat themselves up for not having a perfect body but to instead, enjoy motherhood. “We live in a society where it’s common to say things like, ’Wow, how amazing she looks only 2 weeks after giving birth.’ I don’t want to be a part of it, it’s hell. I never wanted to turn heads when I came to the beach. I have a completely different body type. I just want to feel my body better and love myself,” says Barrymore.

Gemma Atkinson

The British actress and model, who is a big fan of fitness, decided after the birth of her daughter Mia not to delay getting back into shape and promptly started exercising. However, Atkinson is against all pressure on new moms when it comes to postpartum body “imperfections” and demonstrates, by her own example, that no one is safe from them.

“I hope new mums realise they don’t have to be back to their post-baby body so quickly. Growing a human for 9 months is a big deal, and it’ll take longer than a few weeks to get your body back to how you want it,” reckons Gemma.

Serena Williams

Serena’s postpartum recovery in 2017 was a long and arduous one, something she was not afraid to talk about openly. With the birth of her daughter Olympia, the tennis player was bedridden for six weeks.

“No one talks about the low moments — the pressure you feel, the incredible letdown every time you hear the baby cry. I’ve broken down I don’t know how many times. Or I’ll get angry about the crying, then sad about being angry, and then guilty, like, ‘Why do I feel so sad when I have a beautiful baby?’ The emotions are insane,” Williams confessed in an interview with Vogue.

Jessie James Decker

The singer-songwriter reminded the moms among her subscribers that it’s totally normal for a “pregnant” belly to not go away for a while after giving birth. She wrote the following caption under one of her candid selfies, “Keepin’ it real! 3 weeks post and I’m still very swollen. The 3rd has been by far the hardest recovery, but I’m feeling stronger every day.”

Jessica Simpson

Simpson is light-hearted when it comes to talking about the difficulties that accompany the postpartum period, especially with the experience of two childbirths under her belt. “Just stretching it out in my rubber corset. The joy of postpartum,” she ironically captioned the photo, which was released two months after the birth of the star’s third child, daughter Birdie.
