TV star’s very real post-baby pic

Reality TV star Sharday McAvoy has shared an honest post-baby pic reminding her followers that it’s not always so easy for a mum’s body to “bounce back” after pregnancy.

And that no mum should ever feel bad about her body after having a baby.

“So turns out the weight doesn’t just fall off,” Sharday wrote on Instagram, sharing side-by-side images of before, during and now after her pregnancy.

“Turns out I wasn’t ‘all baby’ because he clearly forgot to take the rest of the 20kg I gained with him when he evacuated.”

Sharday and fiancé Josh welcomed their second child, Ledger, in October.

But Sharday revealed she has been struggling with her post-pregnancy body, and admited she has been resorting to the ‘festive season excuse’.

“I have been ashamed of my body, ashamed I didn’t bounce back like I thought I would,” she admitted to her followers.

“My ass looks like the next meteor shower hit it…, Tyla asks me on the daily why there is another baby in my tummy and loves to remind me how my tummy wobbles like her jelly.

“I’m no Tammy [Hembrow] or Skye [Wheatley], they are amazing don’t get me wrong, but that’s not how my body works.”

But the TV star, who featured on The Last Resort in 2017 to save her relationship with Joshua Grocock, said ‘enough is enough’ about her negative feelings.

“This is me. I had a baby, I gained 20kg, didn’t rip my vag open, and spend my days being bossed around/consumed by two mini humans,” she wrote.

“It took me nine months to gain this baby weight so it’s going to take me nine months or more to lose this baby weight! As long as everyday I choose to do something for me, actually eat dinner instead of drinking my calories in wine and work out most days I’ll smash this!

“I’ve done it before, I can and will do it again.”

She received plenty of support from her followers

“You look amazing! And you’ve housed two amazing humans. Be kind to yourself babe,” one person commented.

“Thank you for sharing and putting yourself out there. You got this girl,” another wrote.

Since the show, Sharday has been open about sharing her own unique body transformation with her followers.

In September she posted her own spin on the ‘transformation’ trend, showcasing how much her body changed in one year after she unexpectedly fell pregnant.

“12 month transformation, bulking baby style,” she wrote a month before welcoming baby Ledger.

After Josh proposed on the show, the couple are still engaged and planning the wedding of their dreams.

“Marriage plans are definitely on the books, we are planning a 2020 wedding once I get my pre baby body back,” Sharday told Yahoo Lifestyle previously.

“We had planned on getting married at the start of the year but our little miracle baby happened after we had stopped trying so we have postponed everything.”
