Ciara gives 'shout out' to moms as she navigates working, losing post-baby weight
Ciara is opening up about the realities of the postpartum period after giving birth in December to her fourth child.
The "Level Up" singer, who is married to NFL star Russell Wilson, took to Instagram to give a "shout out" to other moms trying to work and take care of themselves and their family.
"Trying to lose 70lbs post baby, prepare for a show and tour while breastfeeding, and running my businesses…Shout out to all my mammas out there gettin in, I see you!," Ciara, 38, captioned a photo of herself last week.
She also added the hashtag #MambaMentality, a reference to the late Kobe Bryant, who authored a book titled, "The Mamba Mentality: How I Play."
In addition to her daughter, Amora, whom she gave birth to in December, Ciara is also the mother of a 3-year-old son, a nearly 7-year-old daughter and a nearly 10-year-old son.
