We’ve all seen it – the stunning celebrity who was last seen with a huge baby bump and six weeks later is photographed walking along a sandy beach donning a tiny bikini and six pack to go with it.
And we all ask the same question: ‘How?’
Well, one Birmingham mum, Sophia Cooper, is fed up with mothers thinking they need to find the secret answer to a taught tummy weeks after birth, and has posted a selfie on Facebook revealing her own post baby body.
Stretch marks, muffin top and all. It has since gone viral.
“It’s hard publicly sharing this picture because, as the founder of a post-natal fitness company, most people expect me to have left the maternity ward with a baby and a six-pack,” Cooper wrote.
“The reality is, despite exercising during pregnancy and trying to eat healthy, I gained three stone.
“I have fresh stretch marks, a muffin top and I’m three dress sizes bigger.
“Some of my shoes still don’t fit and Bridget Jones pants are a must.
“But you know what?? IT’S OK!!
“This is what a real post-baby body looks like.”
At 29, Cooper runs a fitness company for mothers who have just given birth, called One Fit Mama UK.
The mother of three put on almost 20 kilograms with her third child, Florence, reports The Mail Online and has two other boys, six-year-old Finlay and four-year-old Maxwell.
