The lovely Peta Murgatroyd from Dancing With the Stars is not afraid to let everyone know that she isn’t Wonder Woman and was unable to easily shed her weight after giving birth to baby Shai with fiance Maksim Chmerkovskiy! The new mom took to Instagram with a picture of her stomach, giving new mothers everywhere a sigh of relief in knowing that they don’t have to be back in perfect shape right after giving birth! Nice to see the new mom embracing her post-baby body for all to see.

Real life: I took this photo 8 days post birth. I left the hospital looking 5 months pregnant. Many people think a woman should shrink right back to her pre-birth weight immediately. That is just not the truth for most. The female body is incredible and resilient, but healing and strengthening take time. Now it's time for patience and hard work. Lots of love to all the new mamas out there on the journey. 💪🏼💪🏼 #yesihaveascrunchieinmyhair #shaiiswortheverypound
