Olivia Munn Loves Her Postpartum Body Though It Hasn't 'Snapped Back' After Pregnancy
Olivia Munn's body may not have bounced back into shape immediately after giving birth to her son, but the fact that her body is far from perfect is something she has completely embraced.
In fact, she admits that even though the postpartum road "is rough," it is "so worth it."
The actress took to Instagram to share a message about body positivity over the weekend, nearly seven months after she welcomed her first child, son Malcolm, with comedian John Mulaney.
"My body hasn't snapped back, but it made this little guy so I only have love for it," the 41-year-old actress, wrote, along with a video of herself holding her son and swaying him from side to side.
Several of her celebrity friends jumped into the comments section to leave words of encouragement for the mom. "Dancing With the Stars" judge Carrie Ann Inaba wrote, "You are perfect the way you are."
"Big hugs friend. It's a tough road motherhood. I feel you. It was tough for me after Davis too. You got this…" added actress Brianne Davis.
"Hang in there, I remember a friend telling me that our mind/body is wired to make us focus on one thing after birth- our babies. And that the brain fog and all the rest is a way to make you prioritize your baby cub. I'm not sure if that's true but It helped me feel better knowing that in time it would all come together again- and I can promise you it will all be better than ever ❤️," wrote "Leverage" star Beth Riesgraf.
This isn't the first time the "Violet" star has opened up about the ups and downs of her postpartum journey. Munn, who welcomed Malcolm last November, said earlier revealed she was suffering from postpartum anxiety.
"My hips still feel wonky from pushing out a human being, my postpartum anxiety is still here (and horrible), but I got myself up and took my first capoeira lesson today," Munn said in March. "Getting back to martial arts made me feel a little bit more like myself. Hope I can keep it up."
Before welcoming their little one, Munn confessed that she and Mulaney were both "scared" to become parents.
"I feel good. l feel scared. I feel nervous, and I'm excited. I feel every day the feelings are just rotating through," the then-pregnant actress said. "Honestly, thank God for Instagram and Facebook and blogs because there's a lot of moms who put out such great information, and that’s been a saving grace for me."
