Sharing Her Journey with Fans
TOWIE favourite Danielle Armstrong has stripped down to her underwear to reveal her "real" post-baby body, just nine weeks after giving birth to her second daughter, Una, via C-section. Taking to Instagram, the 35-year-old star shared a body positive video, explaining that she wanted to be honest with her fans about her weight and shape.
Embracing a Normal Female Body
In her Instagram video, Danielle said, "I am documenting my baby weight loss journey because I think it's good to see what a normal female body looks like after pregnancy. I haven't yet done any exercise whatsoever. This is just me the last three weeks." She also emphasized that the number on the scales is not a true reflection of a woman's body, as we hold water and have hormones.
Celebrating the Arrival of Baby Luna
Last month, Danielle shared a picture of herself, husband Tom Edney, and their newborn daughter, Luna, shortly after giving birth. The reality star, who appeared on the ITVBe show from 2013 to 2016, announced the arrival of Luna to her 1.3 million followers, writing, "Orla got her wish... IT'S A GIRL."
Standing Up to Mum-Shamers
Weeks before her latest post, Danielle hit back at fans who criticized her in a makeup-free selfie. The reality star defended herself against accusations of having lip fillers while pregnant. In the Instagram post, she explained, "During pregnancy, my skin changes so much, especially in the sun. My lips are swollen, and NO I haven't had lip filler during my pregnancy, which I actually get asked a lot in my DM."
Through her openness and honesty, Danielle Armstrong continues to inspire and empower women, encouraging them to embrace their bodies and celebrate the journey of motherhood.
