Earlier this month, Olivia Culpo - who welcomed her first baby in July - reminded her followers that her body had naturally changed since giving birth. "All of my jeans are still so tight," she said in a TikTok video while getting ready. "These used to be loose. It's OK, we're doing the best that we can." While zipping up her shoes, Olivia continued, "These are so much tighter...
Everything is just not where I want it to be." @oliviadangerculpo / Via tiktok.com 2. Similarly, Vanessa Hudgens opened up about undergoing a major wardrobe change since giving birth to her first child. "I feel like most of you know when you're pregnant, your feet swell up. But what I didn't know is that sometimes your feet stay swelled up and your foot grows an entire size," she said in March this year. "That's what happened to me. So I gotta replace my entire shoe closet." Vivien Killilea / Getty Images 3. And Blake Lively is another celeb who struggled with clothing options post-birth. Roughly a year after welcoming her and Ryan Reynolds's third child, Blake recalled struggling to find clothes that fit her postpartum. "I put together a Lanvin shirt and dress from Net-A-Porter to make this pretty outfit," she wrote, referring to her outfit on Jimmy Fallon's talk show in 2020. "Because no one had samples that fit me after giving birth. And so many clothes from stores didn't fit either. So. Many. It doesn't send a great message to women when their bodies don't fit into what brands have to offer. It's alienating and confusing. And I wish I felt as confident then as I do now, a year later looking back. That body gave me a baby. And was producing that baby's entire food supply."

After welcoming her first child with Robert Pattinson, Suki Waterhouse posted a candid pic of her postpartum body and detailed her "humbling" experience.

I'm proud of everything my body has achieved and proud of the kindness and grace I've given myself during this recovery period." @sukiwaterhouse / Via Instagram: @https://www.instagram.com/sukiwaterhouse/?hl=en 6. In 2022, Kylie Jenner won praise for sharing a photo of her bare stomach following the birth of her second child, Aire. She also opened up about struggling "mentally and physically" postpartum, telling her fans, "I didn't just want to get back to life without saying that because I think we can look on the internet - for other moms going through it right now - we can go on the internet, and it might look a lot easier for other people, and put the pressure on us, but it hasn't been easy for me either."

Less than three months after welcoming their first baby, Halsey shared several photos of their postpartum stomach and said, "A lot of people don't know that you still look pregnant for a while after. It is still changing and I am letting it...I do not want to feed the Illusion that you're meant to feel and look 'great' immediately postpartum. That is not my narrative currently." @iamhalsey / Via Instagram: @https://www.instagram.com/iamhalsey/?hl=en 9. In 2020, Ashley Graham posted a selfie in "disposable underwear" just a month after welcoming her first child. "Raise your hand if you didn't know you'd be changing your own diapers too," she wrote. "After all these years in fashion I never could've guessed that disposable underwear would be my favorite piece of clothing but here we are! No one talks about the recovery and healing (yes even the messy parts) new moms go through. I wanted to show you guys that it's not all rainbows and butterflies!"
