Celebs Who Debuted Their Postpartum Bodies Days After Giving Birth

Putting it all out there! Bekah Martinez welcomed her first child with her boyfriend, Grayston Leonard, on Sunday, February 2, and the Bachelor alum revealed her postpartum body only four days later. “So amazing what we [mothers] can do,” she captioned an Instagram Story mirror selfie on Wednesday, February 6. “I’ve never felt so much respect and love for my body, diaper and all. #ThisIsPostPartum.” In the pic, the ABC personality pulled up her shirt to reveal her bare stomach and her nude diaper. She was standing in her bedroom with her head down in the honest shot. Martinez hasn’t just shown off her post-baby body, but has given fans a look at her newborn daughter as well. In an Instagram shot of the little one sleeping that same day, the California native wrote, “She already has her poses down. Only 4 days old and already an IG model.” [jwplayer vHi7IYKe-zhNYySv2] She also shared a throwback picture on social media, writing, “This is baby girl only FOUR HOURS after being born!! is she perfect or what?! Grayston— you and I MADE this.” Their child was fast asleep and strapped into a carseat in the photo. The reality star revealed that her baby is “already a Daddy’s girl" as well, sharing a couple of pics of her boyfriend sleeping next to their infant. The first-time mom has been showing off her daughter so much since welcoming her, and while many celeb moms choose to take that route, not all of them are as quick to reveal their postpartum bodies to the world. So take a look at the photos below for Martinez's honest mirror selfie, as well as equally candid shots from celebrity moms like Jessie James Decker, Kate Middleton, Jana Kramer and more!

Nev Schulman’s wife posted an “obligatory postpartum thirst trap” in October 2021, three weeks after giving birth. Perlongo wrote via Instagram: "To be fair, this is just a flattering angle. I have all the things including but not limited to the classics. Loose skin belly, impossibly sore nipples, unidentified groin pain, weird sores from those huge pads and clumps of hair turning my shower into a flood hazard. BUT WHATEVER. The upside of it all is, ya know, a continued obsession with what bodies can do (THE MIRACLE OF LIFE!) and the ability to sometimes even feel kinda hot and powerful in a weird, sweaty fourth trimester kinda way. Is that allowed or do I have to post my worst angle? I don’t know the rules on this."

I will never have my 'pre baby body back' no matter how it changes physically because I have now had a baby! ... That change is permanent. And I don’t want to go back! But in the spirit of honesty, I’m really tired and not a superhuman and this is really hard."

My skin is still loose and I still got a little pouchy pouch right here. If I showed you all my back fat! And my face is still so fat and my neck. But f--k it, take your f--king time."
