Another Celeb Mama Shows Off Her Post-Birth Bod—and It's Awesome
The mom of two—newborn Rafael was born June 17—
took a selfie showing her post-baby bod mere days after giving birth. Spoiler alert: It probably looks a lot like yours and mine did. She wrote on Instagram that she had been planning on sharing belly shots but wasn't sure whether she'd "have the guts to actually follow through."
Baldwin went on to write, "I hope you understand my intention here: I believe it is important to accept and love our form after going through a bit of battle bringing life into this world. Deep breath, here we go..."
Pretty incredible, right? Of course, this master yogi isn't the only A-list mama who's rocked a post-baby bump. Right after Prince George's birth, mama Kate Middleton made news when she wore a flowy, pooch-friendly dress. Zoe Saldana has been refreshingly candid about her body after twins and her quest to regain her strength and health. And mom of two Kristen Bell famously said of her post-birth figure, "I have a huge muffin top -- who cares?" (Can someone please put this on a bumper sticker?)
