At 8 weeks postpartum, country singer Jessie James is setting the record straight about her post-baby body.
“I appreciate all of the sweet comments about how tiny I look after baby! But I don’t want to mislead any mommy’s who just had babies and are stressing!” the new mom-of-two, 27, Instagrammed the image of her postpartum body Thursday.
The Lights Down Low hitmaker – who welcomed son Eric Jr. with husband Eric Decker on Sept. 3 – went on to discuss her second pregnancy and C-section recovery.
“I gained 55 pounds with my daughter and only 27 this time! I gained so much with her because I threw up every day for five months and of course was starving after so I would shove anything in my mouth to make that hunger feeling go away,” she shared. “This time I ate very normal and would take occasional walks. I am still 15 pounds away from what I was originally before I got pregnant with Vivianne. I take occasional walks but haven’t done anything yet to try and lose weight and am in no rush! Nursing mamas should def not try and do any severe diets or milk supply will run low! My tummy is still swollen and you can see my c-section scar and pooch! I had another due to my 9lb baby and petite frame.”
The Eric & Jessie: Game On star – who is also mom to 18-month-old daughter Vivianne – went on to say “we need to stick together” and encourages all women to “never be hard on yourself.”
“So no rushing and no stressing about losing weight!” she wrote. “Wanted to make sure y’all saw what my tummy looks like under the tank top and blazer…I do wear a belly waist train thingy a few hours here n there which helps c section mamas and swelling to go down. I am so glad we all can support each other. Being a mommy is so rewarding but hard work so we need to stick together and help each other out. I’m not perfect but I do my best. That’s what it’s all about. So never be hard on yourself. I’m going to try and do more posts like this. So feel free to ask anything below and will try and incorporate it in another mommy post!”
Last week, the proud nursing mama shared a shot breastfeeding her baby boy.
