Our bodies naturally change all the time throughout our life for tons of different reasons, but having a baby is definitely one where all the shame and stigma should be removed. Actress Blake Lively recently opened up about the insecurities she felt with her post-baby body after giving birth to her third child in 2019.
Blake Lively is one of the most gorgeous people in Hollywood.
That’s on the inside AND out! Not only is she beautiful, she’s also kind, generous, and hilarious — of course, she’d have to be to keep up with her husband Ryan Reynolds, and their three daughters.

Blake added a new adjective to that list when opening up about struggles she was facing after giving birth to their youngest daughter in October of 2019.
Blake shared a photograph of her on *The Tonight Show* shortly after giving birth, writing, “I put together a @lavinoffical shirt and dress from @netaporter to make this pretty outfit.”
“Because no one had samples that fit me after giving birth. And so many clothes from stores didn’t fit either. So. Many,” Blake continued. “It doesn’t send a great message to women when their bodies don’t fit into what brands have to offer.”
You can see the outfit she was referring to in the video above.
“It’s alienating and confusing,” she wrote.
“I wish I felt as confident then as I do now, a year later looking back. That body gave me a baby. And was producing that baby’s entire food supply. What a beautiful miracle,” Blake reflected.
“But instead of feeling proud, I felt insecure.”
“Simply because I didn’t fit into clothes. How silly is that in retrospect,” she finished.
We love seeing Blake open up about this issue that affects so many people!
