Dawn O’Porter has been praised for showing off her post-pregnancy body

She's a hero!

Dawn O'Porter has pretty much made every new mum's day on social media after posting a picture highlighting the realities of having a post-childbirth body. Many women feel stressed and under pressure to spring back to their original size and shape after having a baby, but something (or most of the time) it's not really a reality. Dawn, who is married to Chris O'Dowd, summed up how that feels in one picture. She took to social media with a simple caption for the photograph of her trying to fit into a pair of jeans. She said, "#wishfulthinking'.

Dawn welcomed her second baby, her son Valentine, in July. Other new mothers have been praising her for being so open and honest about the struggles of post-pregnancy weight. Here are just some of the positive comments:

"This is such a stronger and more positive message about postnatal bodies than the usual rubbish we get fed from celebs! You’re rocking it Mama!" "Finally a proper celeb showing the reality of post childbirth. Unlike these morons posting pictures with their size 6 waist one week after birth! I salute you, you look amazing."
