She has always given the proverbial finger to ridiculous beauty and body image standards, and we love that US actress Alyssa Milano is trying to instil the same attitude in mums all over the world.
The former Charmed star, who is a mum-of-two, has urged mothers to embrace the changes that their natural post-baby bodies bring.
“I love my C-section scar, because it’s where my babies came from,” the 43-year-old admitted, during an interview with TODAY.
Alyssa, who is mum to five-year-old son Milo and two-year-old daughter Elizabella, then went on to share an empowering message to new mums.
“Be kind to yourself. And remember what your body is put on Earth to do, which is nurture, feed, take care of a child. Everything else is sort of irrelevant,” she added.
Alyssa has always been very candid about her experience of motherhood, previously admitting that she doesn’t know how celebrities manage to ‘drop all their baby weight in two weeks’.
“Any pressure that I felt was from seeing other celebrities get down to their pre-baby weight in two weeks, and I know that for me that’s just not in my makeup, biologically,” she said.
More of this, please.
