posted in CelebritiesHilaria Baldwin is doing her part to give women out there a realistic glimpse at what a post-birth body looks like.
The yoga instructor, who welcomed son Rafael with husband Alec Baldwin just this week, has taken to Instagram to share a bare-belly shot of her stomach. Along with the image, which shows her stomach still protruding, she wrote:
"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."
Alec Baldwin opened up about their son's birth, telling Extra, "Someone else is doing all the hard work and you’re there for them… you sit there and go, I would do anything to make this easier for you, my wife is really, she’s my hero, she’s tough."
You know what? Today Hilaria is a little bit my hero too.
I wasn't surprised to see photos of her big baby bump appear on her Instagram feed, because it's not uncommon for those who are in great shape pre-pregnancy to feel comfortable showing off their pregnant bellies, but I am surprised to see such an honest post-birth pic -- and I love it! Reminds me a lot of Kate Middleton's appearance after giving birth to Prince George, except that Hilaria's photo bares even more.
What do you think of post-birth body photos? Would you like to see them more often?
