Tori Spelling happy with postpartum body

Actress Tori Spelling, 34, gained 40 pounds while pregnant with son Liam Aaron. And now eight months after the birth, she reveals that she is happy with her postpartum body.

When I was young, you know, it’s always that thing . . . you can never be too thin. Now that I’m in my 30s and I’m married and I’m so happy, and I have a baby — I realize you know what I’m at a healthy weight.  I don’t want to get any thinner. This is what looks good.

Liam’s dad is Dean McDermott.

She shouldn’t get any thinner, she is skinny now and looks great. She actually weighs less now, than she did before she got pregnant with Liam she said on extra a few weeks ago.

I used to think Tori was a self-involved rich kid– she grew up with money, had the whole blonde hair and boob job thing going….
but she actually seems really nice and down to earth, and seems like a great mom!

It’s easy to say you love your post baby body when you are a size 4 and look like you’ve had some significant work done. After my 1st baby, I walked out of the hospital in size 3 jeans but I certainly didn’t have the perky boobs and six pack abs like she does. Perhaps if she had said this after giving birth when she was still 20lbs or so heavier, it might carry some weight.

Easy for her to say she is happy when she is what……a size 4? and looks perfect in a bikini with no stretch marks or anything? Easy for her. I wish I could be happy with my disgusting saggy stretch marked stomach. If we were all so lucky!

I know, it must be nice to look that good! I lost my baby weight when I had my boys, and was thin, but I had the stretch marks amongst other things.
Who wouldn’t want to look like that or be unhappy to look like that?

tori did use that belly butter stuff during her pregnancy-isn’t that suppposed to minimise/reduce stretchmarks? she’s taken a lot of abuse over how she looks over the years. im happy for her that she is finally happy in her skin =)

Actually, creams and butters don’t prevent stretch marks. Genetically you’re either predisposed to have them or not.
Its all in the genes

I actually think creams DO make a difference despite what people say. My sisters never used anything and they have like a million prominent stretch marks. I used creams every single day and I only have a few small, hardly-noticeable ones. I used Tummy Honey. It’s very sticky but if you get you’re husband/partner to apply it, it feels GREAT. It was one of the few things I loved about being pregnant.

Kate is completely correct. You can smear all the stuff in the world on your stomach, and it won’t prevent a single stretch mark from occurring if you’re genetically predisposed to them. It will make your skin a little less itchy, probably, but that’s about it.
The best way to judge if you’ll have stretch marks is by looking at the women in your family who have had a baby. Also, if you got stretch marks growing or going through puberty, there’s a terrific chance you’ll get them during pregnancy. That being said, most women don’t get too many, and most of them are pretty small. Mine are crazy huge and all over the place, all the way up to my ribs, but my dermatologist said she’d never seen any quite that bad before ;P.
I am really not a vain person, and they don’t bother me that much–they’re a badge of honor that only a mother can wear. To me, I had to let go of all that petty self-centered criticism stuff when I had a baby. It’s not about me anymore, and I have better things to worry about than how I look in a bikini.
To all those women who are so hard on themselves and their post baby body–be kind! You are a part of the biggest miracle there is! Mom’s have enough worries, guilt, frustration, stress, etc. without inviting THAT kind of negativity along for the ride! Be happy that you have a baby to show for it. It’s a small price to pay.
