While it’s common knowledge that women’s bodies aren’t the same after popping out a baby or two, people still act like it’s something to hide — but not singer Maren Morris. Morris is all about celebrating how her body and the bodies of other moms look after giving birth. Her postpartum curves are nothing but divine in her eyes, as she’s shared several pictures of her wearing clothes that don’t shy away from showing the shape of her belly. We can’t get enough of her empowering pics.
Morris stans mom bellies.
Morris is known for her country music, her marriage to fellow country singer, Ryan Hurd, and more recently, her postpartum pictures. We give her mad props for sporting her body con dress that fits to her natural body shape, including her stomach pooch.
She’s the definition of confident.
Sometimes women feel like that have to switch things up with their wardrobe after having a baby — and sometimes they do out of necessity. However, Morris is showing that one thing that she’ll likely never give up is her sense of style. She’s not afraid of the camera, even with a postpartum body, because she knows that body is beautiful.
Her fans are definitely on board.
Many people, including other mothers with postpartum bodies, applauded Morris’s pictures. Twitter user Daye virostek replied to her Tweet, saying that Morris gave birth to a “miracle” and all moms should embrace their “beauty.” We couldn’t agree more.
Morris is thankful for her family.
With two years passing since she gave birth to her son, 31-year-old Morris is tired of the stigma that postpartum bodies face. She loves her family and has been overjoyed to experience motherhood while also loving her body.
She believes her body is exactly as it should be.
During her pregnancy, Morris took a picture of herself for Instagram and vowed that she’d never “try to get her body back,” because it will never be lost. She rejects the idea of being pressured to “snap back” because there’s something wrong with a body that’s brought a baby into the world. It looks like she’s stuck to that mindset so far, and it’s a great look.
Morris loves her son to the moon and back.
Morris told People that motherhood has been a life-changing joy for both her boy and her body. She explained, “I was the house, and I feel like that’s given me so much confidence that I didn’t have before when I was a size two,” she said. “So I definitely feel like being a mom has made me feel really powerful in my own body because look what we’re capable of.”
She’s still sexy.
For her, erasing the history of her body isn’t a healthy option. She had a baby, her body changed, and yet she still has eyes on her. While Morris seems like a happily married woman, she also doesn’t hide her body, and people don’t hide their adoration of it. With “heart” and “flame” emojis galore, she’s proving that postpartum bodies are pretty hot.
Her words echo what other moms are afraid to say.
Sadly, it’s no secret that when women speak out against a societal norm, they usually get gaslit and silenced in the process. However, when women and allies stand together, their voices can often shatter glass ceilings. While not everyone feels comfortable posting pictures of their bodies after pregnancy, Morris’s actions can help them feel more comfy in their own skin.
