It seems like these hot mamas just gave birth but, in typical Hollywood fashion, they seem to bouncing back to their pre-baby bodies in absolutely no time. Let’s round-up our most recent new moms and see their before and afters. And of course, revel in awe at their speedy transformations!
Kristin Cavallari
The 25-year-old posted the shot on the right with some girlfriends on her Twitter account on September 3, a little less than a month after having her son, Camden, with fiancee Jay Cutler. The former Hills star looks phenomenal, but is staying realistic. Us Weekly posted an article on September 21 claiming that Kristin had already all of the baby weight and the star fought back on her Twitter account:
Kristin may have been known for being catty during her time on reality shows Laguna Beach or The Hills but she’s definitely sending the right message to women. She also told Life & Style on September 21st, ”Just like every other new mom out there, they know the weight just does not magically fall off. The truth is I am struggling to lose the last few pounds that I have but I am happy with my weight and I’m not going to kill myself for it.” I agree!
Jennifer Garner
After
This woman is superwoman. Paparazzi are always catching photos of this celeb mom with her tots (Violet, 6, Seraphina, 3, and son Samuel, 6 months) and hubby, Ben Affleck. Not to mention she has a thriving career to boot. And now look at her! Three kids later and six months after the birth of Samuel, Jen is rocking that skirt. A source told UK Magazine, Closer, in July that Jen was in no rush to lose the baby weight and took her time. Apparently slow and steady wins the race!
Jessica Simpson
Before
After
Jessica’s attempts to lose the baby weight were public for months after she gave birth to Maxwell Drew on May 1. After signing a contract with Weight Watchers to shed the pounds, tabloids splayed her diet struggles on their covers for months. But Jessica seemed to ignore the haters and prove everyone wrong. On September 10, Simpson made an appearance on Katie Couric’s show and wowed everyone. Plus, her new Weight Watchers ad has been released, where she says, “There is a lot of pressure to lose weight. But I am not a supermodel. I’m just Jessica trying to eat real food in the real world and I just want to be healthy for my daughter.” I think Maxwell would be proud!
Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi
Before
After
I think everyone was shocked when The Jersey Shore guidette, Snooki, announced that she was engaged and pregnant earlier this year. The hard-partying Jersey girl pregnant?! I thought the day would never come. But just as shocking is her incredible weight-loss. Snooki gave birth to her little boy, Lorenzo Dominic, on August 25 and was shown looking slim and trim (above) on September 12. How has she done it? Snooki revealed her magic on her Twitter account recently:
Kourtney Kardashian
Before
After
According to the NY Daily News, Kourtney told Us Weekly that she gained close to 45 pounds during her second pregnancy with Penelope. She said, “I’m 5 feet tall, so that’s a lot.” But Kourtney also admitted she didn’t want to rush the baby weight off this time around. Any of you Lovelies an avid of watcher of anything Kardashian? Well then you’ll probably recall the meltdown Kourtney had during season 2 of Khloe and Kourtney Take Miami where Kourtney went on an extreme diet and over-excercised to be in shape for a magazine photo shoot. She reflects, “I’m so embarrassed that I punished my body for a photo shoot.” Well, I’d say she looks great for a second child and no rush is necessary!
What do you Lovelies think about these celeb moms’ body transformations? Impressed?

I mean, if I were rich and had a baby, It would be a lot easier to lose the weight than say… Someone of my… Financial situation
I dont plan on ever having a kid, but if it happens, it happens… I just hope it wont be for a looooong time! I just lost 50 pounds and I dont want to gain it back

I absolutely hate that this is the focus.

Off topic, but I did not realize Snooki had her baby. So much for working in the news!

@sarahsmurfette@xanga - I agree. The focus on a woman’s pregnancy shouldn’t be how much weight she gains and how fast she loses it afterward.

Lol that’s because they have personal trainers.

yay, more completely unrealistic examples for women (and their partners) to hold themselves up to, and then subsequently feel like failures. I exclusively breastfed my son and had an active lifestyle, and at 22 years old it still took 9 months for me to lose the weight that it took me 9 months to gain. Celebrity mothers have support far beyond personal trainers, and it’s so annoying to see their “amazing post-baby” bodies paraded around as normal, healthy, or attainable.

If you’re in shape before you get pregnant and continue to take care of yourself while you’re pregnant, after you have the baby you lose weight faster. I’m not saying deprive yourself and your baby of necessary nutrients but don’t gorge yourself on McDonalds and use the “I’m pregnant” excuse. My neighbor had 3 kids within the last like 6 years and she bounced back in no time.

If you eat healthily during your pregnancy and don’t use it as an excuse to stuff your face, it shouldn’t be too hard to bounce back. Being pregnant isn’t an excuse to lie on the sofa and eat for two – you can still do gentle exercise and eat healthily.
guest
Yeah, I think too many people use pregnancy as an excuse to stuff their faces… I see people at my job stuffing their faces with so many unhealthy things because they’re hungry because of the baby, but at least if you’re gonna stuff you face, stuff it with healthier things, not carls jr.

I’m really curious how many people making comments about “pregnancy isn’t an excuse to lay around and eat, you just need to exercise the whole time and you’ll bounce back in no time” have actually been pregnant.
