Lara Stone gave birth to a baby boy in late December of last year. Being a supermodel, she got back into modeling with an underwear campaign for Calvin Klein that came out just months later over the summer. Behold the beauty and the abs:
In the forward to James Duigan’s book from the Clean & Lean series, Pregnancy Guide, Stone writes about her pregnancy and how she didn’t just snap back to pre-baby shape: “There is so much pressure these days to look fantastic during pregnancy and to lose the baby weight within days of leaving hospital. I have nothing against those who do, but it’s not normal.” She continues:
‘Your body changes hugely during a pregnancy and it takes time to go back,’ she says.
‘I’ve had lots of ups and downs regarding my body image over the past year. On every level I know I should just be happy to have a lovely healthy baby, and I do count my blessings every day.
‘But seeing articles about me that say: “She’s brave to go outside looking like that”, “She’s struggling with her baby weight”, “Is she pregnant again?”, or “She can kiss her career goodbye” is painful. And it sends a bad message to other women reading it, who may be feeling bad about their own baby weight.’
