I have a ‘mommy tummy’ after 4 kids – I’m proud of my body, I work out every day and eat healthy
A MOTHER of four has shared the reality of getting back in shape after having kids.
The TikTok user promoted body positivity as she showed her followers her “mommy tummy.”
In her video, Cecily Bauchmann (@cecilybauchmann) gave viewers a glimpse at “what your body is going to be like after having kids.”
She explained that it took her a while to accept and embrace her new figure.
“I’ve had four and they’re still young,” she told her audience as she lifted up her shirt.
Pinching along her stomach, Cecily explained: “This is all just extra skin.”
She told viewers that despite her lifestyle the loose skin won’t go away.
“I workout every day and I eat pretty healthy and it still just happens,” she said.
Cecily explained that despite what society says she is still happy with her appearance.
“Not asking for a [medal] but I’m proud of this,” she wrote in the caption of the clip.
The young mother even revealed that she enjoys pinching her postpartum stomach.
TikTok users took to the comments section to share their thoughts on Cecily’s body positivity.
“Thank you for showing this, this is my reality too and [for] so many women. Still hard to look at mine but I love pinching it,” wrote one viewer.
Another follower said: “Love this!!! We need to normalize mom bodies, they are beautiful. Currently on my third pregnancy and can’t wait to see how my body looks after.”
“I literally have abs and still have skin like that when I’m sitting after three kids. I think the only way to fix it is tummy tucks,” commented a third person.
Another TikTok user shared: “I had this after one. Even more now from just two. I workout every day too, eat right and [the] skin doesn’t go away, let’s normalize it.”
