Body after birth! Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi shared a postpartum mirror selfie four days after welcoming her second son, Angelo.
“4 days postpartum & body is feeling good besides the fact that my cramps still feel like contractions!” the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star, 31, captioned her Monday, June 3, Instagram upload. “Still healing but can’t wait to jump back into the gym hardcore this summer! Time to be a fit mawma again for my nuggets.”
She added: “Receiving backlash because I can’t wait to get in the gym and get fit again? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but don’t attack me for wanting to become strong and fit again after my pregnancy. My boobs are leaking and pulsating, my butthole is sore and my cramps are unbearable & I’m still wearing a diaper the size of Texas. Postpartum is a bitch. But I’m allowed to look on the bright side of things and want to get back into shape. Don’t punish me for that.”
In the post-pregnancy pic, the reality star cradled her stomach while rocking a blue sports bra and black tights.
“The cramps while breast feeding made me think they forgot to take a baby out,” Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kylie Richards commented. “You look amazing.”
The MTV personality gave birth to her baby boy on Thursday, May 30. Angelo joined older siblings Giovanna, 4, and Lorenzo, 6.
Polizzi shared sweet pics of her and her husband Jionni LaValle’s three little ones on Saturday, June 1. “MY SQUAD,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “So proud of Lorenzo & Giovanna for killing it with Angelo! #ProudMawma.”
The A Shore Thing author announced her pregnancy in November 2018 and told Us Weekly exclusively about her symptoms two months later.
“I’m super nauseous, much more than I was with my other two,” the New Jersey native told Us in January. “I just feel like every day I wake up and there’s something wrong with me. My stomach hurts or I’m cranky and I can’t move and just to need to lay down. It’s really annoying, the pregnancy. It’s not my favorite.”
Her husband, 32, was a huge help. “He lets me rest all day on Sunday,” Polizzi told Us. “He’s just really forgiving with my attitude and he understands it and he helps me with the kids.”
