A mama with a message! Peta Murgatroyd shared a photo of her swollen post-baby belly via Instagram on Sunday, January 15, telling fans that going through the rigors of pregnancy has reminded her how “resilient” the female body can be.

“Real life: I took this photo 8 days post birth,” the 30-year-old Dancing With the Stars pro captioned the shot. “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.”

Real life: I took this photo 8 days post birth. 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.
