Not everyone is here for Hilaria Baldwin‘s pregnancy and post-baby advice.
The 34-year-old yoga instructor, who just welcomed her fourth child with husband Alec Baldwin, shared a before-and-12-days-after birth photo on Instagram and offered advice about how to bounce back relatively quickly.
“Every body is different, but I believe in staying as active as possible. There were so many moments when I didn’t want to work out this pregnancy,” she wrote in the caption. “Showing up is the most difficult challenge. I had to drag myself out and do even a little. Consistency helped me so much though…because the body wants attention and wants to be moved.
“So important for your circulation, your health, your happiness, and for your strength,” she continued. “I just started being able to workout yesterday. Slow and steady. Nothing crazy. Each birth is different and your doctor will be able to advise you on when you can begin. When you can, be patient with your body.”
While some fans lauded Baldwin for her openness and said she “looked fantastic,” others felt she was promoting an unrealistic goal so quickly after birth.
“I’m so glad there was no social media after I had my son I would have felt like killing myself seeing this post,” wrote one commenter.
