Breath of fresh air: The mum who is sharing pics of her POST-baby bump

Sive O'Brien

Rarely a day goes by when we DON’T see photos of a celebrity baby bump shared on social media.

While the pics are extremely cute, wouldn’t it be great if we saw more POST-baby bump pics?

Alec Baldwin’s wife, Hilaria, recently decided to post a selfie showing her post-baby body just two days after giving birth to their second child, Rafael.

Sharing the first photo on Instagram, the 30-year-old yoga instructor said: “I have been planning on doing post belly photos but didn’t know if I was gonna have the guts to actually follow through.”

Using the hashtags #NoShame #LoveYourBody, she continued, “I hope you understand my intention here: I believe it is important to accept and love our form after going through a bit of a battle bringing life into this world. Deep breath, here we go…all the way from my glamorous hospital bathroom.”

She looks AMAZING, but what we love most is the message behind the pics. Hopefully it inspires more celebrities to follow.

Update on us… Rafael is doing wonderfully! He is two days old now. Such a sweet little boy. I’m feeling well, been up with him every hour to two hours. I have been planning on doing post belly photos but didn’t know if I was gonna have the guts to actually follow through. I hope you understand my intention here: I believe it is important to accept and love our form after going through a bit of a battle bringing life into this world. Deep breath, here we go…all the way from my glamorous hospital bathroom ? #ShrinkingBaldwinBabyBump #NoShame #LoveYourBody

1) I apologize for the weird post and I want to say I am grateful for all the concern I have read on my photo comments. I know they are coming from a good place. 2) This is for those of you who are getting into some pretty serious arguments with each other about if I had a c section or not…this should clear it up: as you can see from this pic, I did not have a c section. 3) The other question has been speculation as to why I stayed in the hospital a few days. Rafael came a little early (nothing extreme) so we just wanted to stay an extra night and make sure all is ok. Due dates are estimates and he came out a healthy weight. I’m actually lucky because given another few weeks, he would have been HUGE! 4) We are overjoyed that we have a healthy little boy and also that I am feeling well. I can never repay my doctor and the nurses who cared for Rafa and me. I’m eternally grateful. ?
