Photoshop, filters and camera angles can create impossible beauty standards, but many stars, like Nikki<\/strong><\/a> and Brie Bella<\/strong><\/a>, Brittany Mahomes<\/strong><\/a>, Ashley Graham<\/strong><\/a> and Emily Ratajkowski<\/strong><\/a>, aren\u2019t afraid to share their real post-baby bodies<\/a> after giving birth.<\/p>\n The Bella twins have been completely candid from pregnancy to birth and what life looks like now. Brie talked about her \u201crecovery\u201d<\/a> via Instagram after welcoming baby No. 2<\/a>, son Buddy, with husband Daniel Bryan<\/strong> in August 2020.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been such a magical time,\u201d the WWE babe gushed. \u201cAfter giving birth, it\u2019s essential to take care of yourself so you can take care of the new love in your life!\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cRecovery the second time around has been so different in a good way because I was way more prepared,\u201d she continued. In the photo, Brie rocked \u201ccomfortable and durable\u201d underwear for her C-section scar, adding, \u201cLet\u2019s be proud of our bodies and be open and honest about the process so future moms can feel more prepared too!\u201d<\/p>\n The Incomparable<\/em> author has been losing weight since giving birth to Buddy and talked about her \u201ctreasure marks\u201d in March while sharing a snapshot of her bare belly.<\/p>\n \u201cThe more baby weight I lose, the more my treasure marks from Buddy are showing up,\u201d the WWE babe explained via Instagram, noting she\u2019s trying to get her \u201cabs back.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSometimes, it\u2019s hard for me to look in the mirror and see my body. I always tell myself to be kind and grateful, but I\u2019m human, so picking myself a part happens,\u201d Brie continued. \u201cYou might see me at the pool in my one piece, but I\u2019m showing all of you that my treasure marks are something special. They remind me of a special connection I got to share with my sweet babies for nine months.\u201d<\/p>\n Brie isn\u2019t the only celebrity mama who keeps it real about her post-partum body. Brittany Mahomes (n\u00e9e Matthews) gave birth to her first child<\/a>, daughter Sterling<\/a>, with husband Patrick Mahomes<\/strong><\/a> in February. The fitness trainer has since posted tons of workout videos as she got back in shape<\/a>.<\/p>\n That\u2019s not to say she was resistant to her changing body<\/a> during pregnancy. She had the perfect clapback<\/a> to trolls who said she didn\u2019t look \u201cskinny\u201d in her maternity photos with the Kansas City Chiefs player.<\/p>\n \u201cWell, ladies, not trying to look \u2018skinny\u2019 in my maternity pics, I\u2019m very pregnant and not trying to make myself not look pregnant,\u201d the Texas native responded via Instagram. \u201cWomen being hateful to other women on social media seriously needs to stop! If you have nothing nice to say, THEN STFU.\u201d<\/p>\n Actress Ashley Tisdale<\/strong><\/a> became a first-time mom<\/a> to daughter Jupiter Iris on March 2021, and she wrote an essay for FrenShe<\/a> on three months later about how she still didn\u2019t feel comfortable in her body and can\u2019t fit into her pre-baby jeans. \u201cThere are so many models and influencers that I\u2019ve compared my own personal journey in \u2018bouncing back\u2019 to \u2026 and then, I\u2019m like wait they just had a baby and they look like that??\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n \u201cWhether it\u2019s hiking, Pilates, riding on my Peloton, and yet, I still don\u2019t feel comfortable in my body,\u201d the High School Musical<\/em> alum explained. \u201cI was recently at a friend\u2019s place and two moms who just had babies were there saying how great I looked and that they wished they could fit into jeans. Here they were thinking that I looked great and yet I\u2019m at home looking in the mirror thinking I could look better. That\u2019s when I realized we can\u2019t compare our bodies to each other,\u201d she admitted.<\/p>\n
