While celebrities love showing off just how quickly they can bounce back to their old shape after giving birth, it still doesn’t mean that some changes haven’t taken place to their figures over the course of their pregnancy. These 5 celebrities have been more candid with their approach to their post-baby bodies, admitting that some things have permanently changed and they don’t think their bodies will be exactly the same as before again.

Hayden says she is still figuring out what changes are going to stay after recently welcoming her first child: “I’m limping around. I’m still trying to figure out what [pregnancy] has done to my body, how it’s changed it. What’s temporary and what’s permanent. I feel like an 80-year-old woman trying to go down the stairs, you know, please tell me this is temporary. But I know some things will never be the same again.”
Jennifer admits she has a stomach bump: “I am not pregnant, but I have had three kids and there is a bump. From now on ladies, I will have a bump. And it will be my baby bump. And let’s just all settle in and get used to it. It’s not going anywhere. I have a bump. Its name is Violet, Sam, Sera.”
Jessica has stretch marks and her body has changed: “Let’s face it, I don’t have the body of a 14-year-old anymore. I think the more we try not to have that unrealistic ideal, the happier we’ll be. I have cellulite and stretch marks – and I have a muffin top!”
Kourtney believes her stomach is completely different: “I think everyone focuses on their stomach. After you have a baby, especially, you’re like ‘Will my stomach ever get back to how it was?’ And I don’t know if my stomach will ever look the same.”
Mila says she now has much larger boobs and is noticing the difference: ”I don’t know how to deal with them, because I’ve never had them. I always dressed for a flat-chested girl, and all of a sudden I’m busty… This is amazing to me. It’s like a whole new world. Men actually look at my boobs! I’ve never had that before.”
