Brie Bella shows off postpartum 'treasure marks' in body positive post
She shared a post in which she reflected on accepting her postpartum body.
Brie Bella posted on social media about accepting her postpartum body after the birth of her second child, a son named Buddy, in August 2020.
The "Total Bellas" star shared an unfiltered photo of her postpartum body Monday and expressed on Instagram how proud she is of her pronounced "treasure marks."
"The more baby weight I lose the more my treasure marks from Buddy are showing up," wrote Brie, 37. "Buddy pretty much grew through my belly button lol I guess the old wives tales were right how boys grow! Low!!"
Bella also wrote that while she has been hard at work trying to whip herself back into shape, she is being patient with her body, even though it's difficult at times.
"After my second C section I’ve been really kicking my butt to get my abs back! And sooo is the saggy stomach which is normal after babies," the reality star expressed. "Sometimes it’s hard for me to look in the mirror and see my body. I always tell myself to be kind and grateful but I’m human so picking myself apart happens."
She detailed that she hopes to bring encouragement to other new moms that every body is different -- while some people can reclaim their old figure right away, others take a while to get there.
"You might see me at the pool in my one piece but I’m showing all of you that my treasure marks are something special," the former WWE star noted. "They remind me of a special connection I got to share with my sweet babies for 9 months."
Brie also cheered on her followers, telling them, "Instead of tearing yourself down, you build yourself up!"
The reality star shares two children with husband Daniel Bryan, 3-year-old Birdie and 7-month-old Buddy.
