"7 weeks #postpartum. Some #pregnant women after giving birth no longer have a belly after 7 weeks. "While others it may take a little longer. Me, I’m the latter. I remember after giving birth to Cree, my belly didn’t all of a sudden go flat. "I did have a C-Section, (as well as with my second pregnancy) and I thought something was wrong with me. "I had seen in magazines the many women on the beach a few weeks #postpartum in a two piece. "To be honest, it had to take time for me to embrace my new body. "With this second pregnancy, I now have embraced that fact that I’ve housed a human being. A miracle. A life. "If it takes a while for me to get back to my normal self, than so be it. This.Is.Me. And I love me."And social media users were a huge fan of the actress' transparency, with other mums sharing similar comments. One person wrote:
"Keep pushing. I am here for her transparency, especially for other mothers - because some people think a snap back is what reality [is] and should happen. But it doesn't always happen so easy."Someone else simply added:
"Real talk. Real Mom."Another mum commented:
"I am 9 weeks post partum (c-section) baby #2 and still have a belly. Thank you for putting out a REAL image of the journey of motherhood."
