Celebrity moms show the real deal on postpartum bodies

Motherhood really is something else. It turns women into even stronger people, able to endure and withstand anything and everything for their children.

It changes their bodies too, allowing them to feed their babies, protect them, comfort them, and provide tender assurance that everything is going to be okay — darker underarms, stretch marks, weight gain, and all.

Here are some of the celebrity moms who have shown off their postpartum bodies with pride on social media. A lot have worked to get back to their their pre-baby bodies, but isn't that proof that motherhood has given them more strength and love — not just for their children but also for themselves?

Happy Mother's Day, to these strong and beautiful women!
