“A woman’s body doesn’t need to be perfect”
If there’s one thing we love to see, it’s mamas being proud of their postpartum bodies. And one such mama is Chrissy Teigen.
Taking to Instagram this weekend, the model and mum-of-three shared a totally nude photo from inside the bathtub. Chrissy’s most recent arrival, two-month-old Esti, was also in the frame as the pair enjoyed some bonding bath time.
“A boob that somehow hangs all along my side and deep purple lifetime scars,” she wrote in the caption of the post, pointing out how her body has changed since she became a mum. “But you are too perfect to worry about any of it!” she added of her children.
The emotional – and incredibly empowering – post went down a treat with fans, racking up over 1.5 million likes and plenty of love in the comments section. “Our changing bodies remind us of the life we created. It reminds us of all we have,” one person wrote, as someone else commented: “There is beauty in real. And in knowing that we sacrifice to make these beautiful little people. Our bodies are meant to be lived in!”
“This is the most beautiful I’ve ever seen you,” a third fan added, as another commented: “All I see is a very beautiful moment. A woman’s body doesn’t need to be perfect. We are imperfectly perfect.”
On the topic of post-baby boobs, Chrissy was previously praised for proudly showing her leaky nipples in a post on social media earlier this year. In the photo, Chrissy made no attempt to hide the leaks from her breasts and belly, which captured the attention of other parents. “The soggy stage… everything is soggy!” one person commented in response to the photo, with another person writing: “I’m so glad women now have the freedom to acknowledge, not hide.”
More mamas celebrating their post-baby bodies, please!
