Heftig! Zo kan je lijf eruit gaan zien na een zwangerschap (hoeft niet, mensen!!)

En daar hoef je je niet voor te schamen, vindt Stephanie Rothstein Bruce. Stephanie heeft 2 kinderen gekregen en deelt haar lijf na de bevalling met trots, om andere moeders aan te moedigen ook eerlijk te zijn over de bevalling en alles wat daarbij komt kijken. Deze foto’s tonen je haar uitgelubberde vel en de straie. Kortom: de niet zo charmante kant van het bevallen. (En ‘O ja’, voegt Stephanie eraan toe, ‘mijn plas ophouden lukt ook niet altijd meer…’)

#7weekspostpartum I can stick 3 fingers in between my 2 ab walls. But it's not about ascetics it's about functionality. Here you go for those who have been curious and asked about my Diastasis Recti: "My abs are separated contemplating divorce" blog up on my website. Link in profile. #journeywithsteph

When I look down I see stretch marks that are here to stay, ab muscles that need continued strengthening, legs that are powerful, and feet that are ready to fly! #trackseason #timetofly #flystyle

#keepinitreal doing side planks. The strength and stability is coming back steadily but the appearance of abs and stretch marks remains the same. The not so glamorous part of getting strong post baby. #takeitinside #journeywithsteph #diastasisrecti

6 weeks post partum, got my 6 pack abs back.. Right on schedule:) sorry to those who find this pic gross but this shit is #keepitreal. I have a very bad case of diastasis recti and stretch marks from 2 babies born 15 months apart. I am partly self conscious but you'll still see me rocking my stomach in my sports bra and race kit when my body is ready. Lots of work to do to get these abs back together and rebuild my core. Please feel confident to post your PP bodies and tag #journeywithsteph

Last weekend was tough to be a spectator and not competing at the marathon trials. But it's never been more clear that it was the smartest decision to not rush back. The patience and work is beginning to show itself. 4 mile tempo: 5:42, 5:36, 5:35, 5:33. 4 x 400 with 1 min rest @ 74, 75, 73, 75. #timetofly #flystyle #journeywithsteph #7000ft. PC: @jenrosario13

It still looks like a hot mess but the stability and strength is coming back to my core. The big 3: bird dogs, side planks, McGill crunch performed twice a day, everyday with extreme precision. It's boring, monotonous but gets the job done. Stretch marks are here to stay! #14weekpostpartum #diastasisrecti #keepingitreal
