‘THE REALITY.. all I heard when I was pregnant was ‘you’ll bounce back, you’re young” etc. It got in my head and I probably did think I would to an extent,’ Georgia began.
‘So you can imagine the first time I looked in the mirror eight weeks ago, I’m not going to lie.. I freaked out, my body wasn’t my body I was used to no more. I had big stretch marks, I am wider and obviously a c-section scar, I remember just crying.’
Georgia went on to reveal how she’s now feeling ‘proud’ at what her body has achieved, nearly two months after giving birth.

‘NOW eight weeks on this is me, I’ve done no exercise and ate what I want, when I can. I now look at my body and I’m proud. I’m proud I have grown a beautiful healthy baby, I’m proud I have got through the first eight weeks,’ she said.
Georgia went on to say that while she would love to fit into her size 10 Zara clothing, she’s giving herself ‘minimum a year’ to drop the pounds as she’s focusing on herself and her baby.
The reality star urged society to ‘stop using these phrases’ of bounce back for women, and encouraged other mothers to not feel any additional pressure.
‘It’s taken us nine months to grow a baby, why are we expecting our bumps to go straight away? Let’s just encourage mum to look after themselves, their mental health and their babies.
‘Let’s stop adding more pressure on women, it’s hard enough!’ she continued.
