Pregnancy weight
Gisele Bundchen (Victoria Secret supermodel) gave birth to her baby in November and was recently quoted as saying ‘childbirth didn’t hurt in the slightest’. I’m sure she would also have you believing that she went home from the hospital wearing her pre-pregnancy jeans. I’m here to tell you how it really is!
To put this into perspective, I am 5’7”.
Pre-pregnancy weight: 117lbs
Nine months pregnant: 146lbs
Four days post-partum: 134lbs
That’s right kiddos. You still look about 5 months pregnant after you’ve had the baby! Most of this belly should deflate on its own over the coming weeks and then I’m sure I will have to do a bit of work if I want to shift the rest of the weight. But you know what? I’m proud of this belly. It grew and delivered my healthy baby girl. What my body looks like falls very far behind in the list of priorities.
