Whilst Alfie sleeps peacefully next to me, I want to quickly put a post together showing the true post-birth figure. I have to point out that I am breastfeeding and from my experience it seems to be easier to lose some of the pregnancy belly when breastfeeding due to the feeding creating after-pains/contractions that help shrink the uterous and I can see huge differences today from a couple of days ago.
I'm fed up of seeing Hollywood stars going out just days after giving birth and looking like they have size 6 figures once more. So here it is, my real 4 days after labour figure. This is the reality, not what celebrities will have you believe and you know what there's nothing wrong with it.

You look beautiful x
ReplyDeleteThank you xx
Deleteyou look great! It is great to see real post birth pictures, I also agree breastfeeding helps I think x
ReplyDeleteThank you and yes, breastfeeding absolutely helps, that's why I wanted to point out that I am feeding that way as I wouldn't look like this if it weren't for that, not as though I've been doing any exercise in the last few days ;) x
DeleteYou look bloody amazing for 4 days post birth! That was one thing I loved about breastfeeding too though and hopefully my body will bounce back well again this time x
ReplyDeleteThanks :) Breastfeeding definitely is the key to losing a lot of the belly quickly, it's the last parts that are the hardest but I don't care right now. I'm sure your body will bounce back if it did last time x
DeleteYou look gorgeous! I love your top.
ReplyDeleteThank you. The top was passed on to me. Lovely to have some nursing clothes this time round
Deleteyou look fabulous!! and you're my hero, raising a toddler and a newborn on your own, and finding the time to blog about it!! amazing. absolutely amazing
ReplyDeleteThank you, that's very kind! I'm getting quite good at writing posts with just one hand ;)
DeleteYou look great! And thanks for sharing this photo! Hollywood glamourizes everything...this is the honest truth of how you look after childbirth. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHope you, Alfie, and Milo are doing great! :)
Thanks. Yes, that's exactly what I think! We are doing well thanks. Finding our way thtough the first week :)
DeleteYou look great AND well rested I might added, I'm a tad jealous about that lol but I'm back to my size 16 8 weeks after birth of my girl. In a couple months I'll work towards losing a little weight but not too much as I'm breastfeeding and that will help too.
ReplyDeleteYou're looking fantastic!! X x
ReplyDeleteThank you very much xx
