Kimberley Walsh isn’t worried about her post-baby body.
The former Girls Aloud star – who had her son Cole in December last year and also has two-year-old son Bobby with her husband Justin Scott – says her primary focus after welcoming a child is nurturing the little one rather than on how good her body looks in a bikini.
She said: "A lot of mums don’t go back [to their pre-baby bodies] straight away. Gaining weight is a sacrifice, but a whole human being has been created, so it’s fine! …
"I’m still breastfeeding, so it’s not really an option to diet. When you’re breastfeeding you tend to crave sweet things, like chocolate. I know it’s short-lived, so I’ll deal with it later on.
"Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to be one of those women who just went back [to their pre-baby bodies], but I’ve always known it’s going to take a bit of work. I’m too tired at the moment to say, ‘I need to get to the gym or do a diet.’
"You’ve got to be realistic. I wouldn’t be a very good mum if I didn’t eat, as then I’d be hungry and tired. Once I stop breastfeeding, which will probably be fairly soon, then I can try and get back on track."
And the 35-year-old singer admits it was tough losing the three stone she put on whilst pregnant with her first born.
She added to The Sun’s Fabulous magazine: "I got there eventually and it didn’t take that long in the grand scheme of things. Some women, bless them, are lucky and don’t really put weight on. But I think it can be a bit overwhelming for some of my friends when they look at people and think: ‘How’s she managing to do that?’ But they could have a nanny and a trainer.
"You should never compare yourself directly to someone else. That’s why if people see that it takes me a bit longer, that’s no bad thing. You could put that pressure on yourself, but I’m not going to put myself in the position of shooting a music video tomorrow, so I choose to do things wisely. If somebody was like, ‘You’ve got to wear hot pants tomorrow,’ I’d probably hyperventilate!"
