15 Celebs Who Were Glowing Post-Baby

It seems like the worst part of being a woman is childbirth. Childbirth is deemed to be one of the most beautiful things the female body can do. The worst part is losing all of that baby weight. Women get a lot of flack for not losing weight enough after having pushed an entire human out of your body fast enough. Apparently the simple act of bringing a human into this world isn't as impressive unless you've also let go of the extra 30-60 pounds. To some people, it's easy shedding off the weight with one good trip to the restroom or simply just going to bed and letting your metabolism do all the work. In the case of most women however, shedding off that unwanted baby weight can cause some insecurities that you would not have known existed. In most women's defense, the women of Hollywood are able to afford the Hollywood post-baby treatment including the trainers and nutritionists. Though the pressure to lose the weight is much greater. Whether you're a brand new mom at the age of 50 years old or a model mother of four, stars take the extra precautions in making sure they look great after they've had their children.

15 Chrissy Teigen Thinks It's Worth It

In between releasing her phone number in her bestselling cookbook Cravings and clapping back to Donald Trump's shenanigans, the 31 year old gave birth in early 2016 to daughter Luna Simone Stephens with singer John Legend. Weeks after birth, Teigen took to Instagram and showed off her 3- week post baby bounce back captioned, “Mother's Day Brunch - low and slow scrambled eggs, chicken and waffles and roasted bacon, oh my!” The photo shows Teigen in a pair of short shorts, a Gucci kimono and a crop top which shows off how impressively thin she got in such a small amount of time. The funny model with the snappy comebacks told People, “I'm comfortable with my body, but I know that it will never be the same,” she says. Whatever happened to my body, it's completely worth it.”

14 Jessica Alba Said It Was Sweaty But Worth It

Remember when Jessica Alba was Sue Storm and was able to to make parts of herself disappear? Actress turned business woman Jessica Alba gave birth to her second child Haven Garner Warren only weeks prior to her stepping out in a flowy maxi dress with first born Honor, Alba seems to be snapping back to her petite figure. Yet we can't always assume your weight loss is a side-effect of being a Tinseltown resident. One of Alba's publicist told Shape Magazine she actually waited 2 months after giving birth to her second child to start her diet and exercise regime. This consisted of wearing a double corset around the clock for three months. She told Net-a-Porter, “It was brutal; it's not for everyone.” However, she went on to say it was "sweaty but worth it."

13 Kourtney "The Tiniest" Kardashian

The tiniest of the Kardashian/Jenner sisters, Kourtney has seemed to bounce back from pregnancy almost instantaneously after each child. After baby Reign Aston Disick was born in late 2014, Hollywood trainer Don Brooks credits 45-60 minute workouts catered around her schedule to help her loose the extra weight and keep it off. Kourtney has always been the one to be creative in what she eats and keeps the weight off in her own manner. Though exercise and health are engraved in the sacred Kardashian bible, a lot of encouragement came with a lot of concern when the eldest Kardashian snapped a photo of her sharing her weight being at 116 lbs. Kourtney was quick to assure her fans that she is indeed only 5ft tall.

12 Beyonce Woke Up Like This

There's nothing Queen B can't do. Though, shedding off the baby weight is definitely one of them. Days after giving birth to twins Sir and Rumi, Beyonce stepped out looking nothing less than spectacular. But what can you expect from someone who clearly woke up like this. Bey took advantage of her accentuated curves and stepped out to a Vic Mensa listening party wearing the most form flattering ensemble known to man. Pairing a high-waisted skirt with a long sleeve, white button down collared top showing off her legs and cleavage. Even though she tried distracting us from her barely there belly with the plunging neck line and high heeled shoes, she still looks amazing for someone who gave birth only weeks ago. #FLAWLESS

11 Anne Hathaway Is Happy Where She Is

Anne Hathaway or Amelia Mignonette Thermopolis Renaldi as it were, gave birth to her first born in early 2016 and since then she's been dealing with the Tinseltown troubles. Being a woman who has just brought life into this world is not exactly a thing Hollywood and internet trolls alike deem as acceptable. Especially when you're in a different tax bracket and the public eye. However, high profile Les Misreables was just proud of the fact that she created a human being to begin with and what comes with being a parent. Anne states at the  Toronto International Film Festival, “Some things I guess are the same as they were, and other things are a little bit different. I'm just so proud of what the changes signify. So, there's no rush to do anything. I'm so happy being here.”

10 Heidi Klum Strutted Her Stuff

Probably the bravest person on this list Heidi Klum, after giving birth to her fourth child in 2009 walked the infamous Victoria's Secret Fashion Show only five weeks after giving birth to son Lou Samuel. She was the most covered model on the runway, but you have to give credit where credit is due. Wearing a purple lace number under a forest green corset, Heidi Klum looked stunning walking down the runway. Her secret?, She tells the Daily Mail, 'There's no master plan, but I have a trainer in L.A. who comes to my house. 'She's helping me so I don't overdo it." To be perfectly honest, she could have just been born with golden genes and a metabolism that is cheating the laws of physics.

9 Zoe Saldana Slow And Steady

Here is a person whose post-baby bod is a little more realistic to the middle class mommies of the world. Zoe Saldana gave birth to twin boys Cy and Bowie in 2014. While she didn't get her body back until after a year, it's good to know that she took her time soaking up mommy life before getting into shape before filming began on a new Star Trek film.When the time came, the 37 year old Guardians of the Galaxy actress enlisted the help of celebrity trainer Ramona Braganza, "All it takes is determination! Mommies we can all do it, damn it!!!" Saldana says. She still looks absolute amazing a month after she gave birth to her third child and looked like she just ran a 10K.

8 Blake Lively Made Comparisons

You can't help but assume that one of New York City's hottest fictional socialites, S was just going to whip back into shape after giving birth to her two children in the last few years. Well, while we don't know about Serena, we can confirm that one of Hollywood's fashionistas can do no wrong in our book. Lively seems to be shedding the weight almost as gracefully as S would slide into a New York City cab. However she admits to The Sun that she used to look at photos of Jessica Alba and wonder why does she not look like that after having children. However after reportedly two trainers and a nutritionist to help her get into shape for her film The Shallows and the results as Blake puts it "are not normal"

7 Halle Berry Thinks It's A Wonderful Surprise

Actress Halle Berry has been the apple of everyone's eye since as far as we can remember. Though I don't think the world is quite ready to forgive her for Catwoman, I do think that Mother Nature has truly been on her side. Halle Berry has aged the same way a vampire would and is just a pile of gorgeous undead flesh. Having both her kids in her 40s, it's almost unheard of that women get their bodies back, especially not as quickly as the Monster's Ball actress did. All body empowerment aside, Berry was just thankful to be able to get pregnant at all at her age. During an interview with CNN she says, "Thought I was kind of past the point where this could be a reality for me," she explained. "So it's been a big surprise and the most wonderful."

6 Janet Jackson Must Have Super Powers

I call bada$$ on the fact that "Ms. Jackson If You're Nasty" is not only able to get pregnant at 50 but is also able to resume her tour just months after giving birth at 51. The "Rhythm Nation" singer gave birth to her son earlier this year. While dealing with the her current divorce settlements and custody battles, you wouldn't be able to tell that this for Good Times star even had the baby to being with. Throughout Jackson's career in the last few years you see her always struggling with her weight. Given her age and how long her career has lasted, it's become a sign of disintegration. Now, if you don't call that having super powers I do not know what is.

5 Gwen Stefani Is The Cool Older Sister

Gwen Stefani has had three gorgeous children over the last few years and still looks like she could be their cool older sister whose favorite red lipstick you stole when playing dress-up. In 2014, months after giving birth to her third child, the "Rich Girl" songstress showed up to Coachella, her first public appearance since giving birth. The "Don't Speak" singer has been known for her slim figure and rock hard abs. The former Voice coach sported a black romper with her signature red lips and red nail polish. Congratulations are in order as sources say that she and current boyfriend Blake Shelton are trying to get pregnant. And at 48, I think I can speak for most of us when I say, she will most likely looks amazing.

4 Amal Clooney Is Obviously Chic

Amal Clooney is probably one of the most poised women in Hollywood. With a successful career, a successful husband, there is no way that she can shy away from any challenge, including dropping the baby weight. After giving birth to twins with actor George Clooney, not only did she return to work within three months, she also basically won the olympic gold medal for most extreme post-baby diet. With a diet consisting of anything fish or veggie based, Amal also includes a very strict exercise regimen. A source tells Heat Magazine, "She also walks for an hour each day, along with 20 minutes of weight-lifting every other day, and 30 minutes of Pilates on the other days." I'm hungry just thinking about the strict diet.

3 Serena Williams Is Winning

She won the Australian Open while she was pregnant and looks like she's ready to go win another. Tennis legend Serena Williams recently gave birth to her first child Alexis Ohanian two weeks prior to her being able to fit back into her short shorts. Serena continues to be a prime example of not only competing pregnant but actually giving birth and being a positive figure for women to look good after they've had children. Sure, she has an edge because she's an athlete, but a good attitude is as contagious as craving for McDonald's fries. Overall, Serena is just happy to be a mom. In an open letter she says, "I was looking at my daughter (OMG, yes, I have a daughter) and she has my arms and legs! My exact same strong, muscular, powerful, sensational arms and body."

2 Jennifer Lopez Gets Better With Age

Jennifer Lopez is the woman that ages beautifully with time. Aside from her dancing and numerous hit singles, Jenny from the block is known a lot for her assets (pun intended). After giving birth to her twins it was to no one's surprise that the triple threat was going to drop the baby weight off faster than she could tell you not to be fooled by the rocks that she's got! After giving birth to her twins, Jennifer Lopez hasn't missed a beat. With singles such as "Dance Again" and "Get on the Floor" you would never be able to tell that Jennifer Lopez is in her late forties as well as a mother of two. Jennifer can still be seen performing and releasing new music and is showing no signs of slowing down.

1 Kerry Washington Slowly Getting Back Into It

The Scandal star took her time getting her pre-baby body back. Kerry's a mother of  two and at 40 years old she's aging better than a fine wine. Washington told People Magazine, “It was really important to me to have that downtime and then start working out slowly, which I'm still doing, I am still slowly getting back into it.” This momma gladiator wasn't looking for the approval of critics, blogs and tabloids, she took her time and healed. Washington also told People that, “My doctor made me take my six weeks off, and I did,” It's refreshing to see a celebrity take in the fact that they have a child and not worry too much on how they look at that very moment.
