Stassi Schroeder Opens Up About Body Issues 7 Weeks After Giving Birth To First Child!

Stassi Schroeder is opening up about her body issues 7 weeks after giving birth to her first child, daughter Hartford Charlie Rose Clark.

"1st postpartum OOTD- I don’t know who needs to hear this but it’s been 7 weeks since I gave birth and my maternity jeans are still the only ones that fit me," the Vanderpump Rules alum wrote via Instagram. "I’m also wearing spanx to hold in what looks like a 4 month pregnant belly. I thought it would be way easier to bounce back, and everyday I wake up like a kid on Christmas morning hoping that when I look in the mirror, I’m going to see my pre-pregnant body once again and that obvs never happens. But also how fucked up is it that I’m so obsessed with bouncing back when my body has just made, housed and delivered a baby? My body issues consume my thoughts about 97% of the day, and it is a major hole I struggle to dig myself out of."

She continued, "We’re told we have to eat enough calories to breastfeed but don’t overdo it because then we won’t get our bodies back. All the while I’m trying to stay mentally and emotionally healthy for my baby, my husband and myself. I’ve read some kind dm’s from people telling me to give myself grace but I’m not gonna lie, I truly don’t know how to give myself grace and that’s a depressing fact. I also feel like an asshole for complaining about my body when I was given the most perfect baby."

She added, "Totally wish I wasn’t so vain, but unfortunately I am. All I can say is thank the lord shirt jackets are in. Hope this helped at least one other postpartum mama feel a little less alone today. On a positive note, my Chanel sling backs fit. 🙌"

In January 2021, Stassi Schroeder and her husband Beau Clark became parents when their baby girl was born. In June 2020, Stassi and Beau revealed that they were expecting their first child. The couple tied the knot three months later in a private backyard ceremony after their Italian destination wedding ceremony was canceled due to the global pandemic.
