Since becoming a mom, Grimes-Beech has felt more powerful in her own skin.
“I’ve felt more confident in myself and my body than ever before because it is strong and miraculous and badass,” the mother of one said.
“I’m sure I’ll love the day I fit back into my pre-pregnancy clothes, don’t get me wrong but right now I’m wearing this body with pride and I wanted to post this in case anyone out there has the same concerns I did,” she continued.
“Women are strong, women are powerful, women create life and do a million other things whilst nurturing and caring for the future generation. This is the example I want to set for my little girl so there ya have it, my 1 week postpartum body and the magical little bundle of love and life that it created. Rock on mamas!” Grimes-Beech added.
“I have never been more proud to be a woman, I have never been more confident in this skin, I have never felt more calm and at peace in this mind and I have never felt more whole in this heart,” Grimes-Beech wrote in ablog postonLost in Lala.
Grimes-Beech previously told fans she was hiking “at least four times” a week and doing barre yoga while pregnant. “I am determined to stay fit and healthy, as fit and healthy as possible,” she said in hervlogwhen she was 28 weeks along.
But the swollen feet, back pain and extra pounds did affect her physically and mentally.
“Listen, the weight gain for everybody during pregnancy is different. What I will say is, doesn’t matter what size you start at, to go up in weight as extremely as you do in pregnancy is not something a lot of people talk about,” she said. “It doesn’t get any less shocking to see how high that scale can climb. … It’s giving me anxiety. … I’m just not loving the way I’m feeling right now.”
