Peta Murgatroyd Shares ‘Real Life’ Photo Of Post-Baby Body

Peta
Murgatroyd is sharing a new – and realistic – look at her life as a new mom.

The
“Dancing with the Stars” pro took to Instagram on Sunday to share a
photo of her post-baby body, which she made a point to caption “Real life.”

“I took this photo 8 days post birth,” she wrote to accompany
the pic, which showed
her in black pants and a bra. “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.”

The new mom added the hashtags #yesihaveascrunchieinmyhair and #shaiiswortheverypound, the latter a reference to her newborn son, Shai, with fiancé Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

Peta and Maks used social media to announce the arrival of their son on January 4.
