And six months after giving birth to son Jesse, Kara Ryan has taken to Instagram to share an inspirational message about post-partum body positivity.

Real life: Six months after giving birth to son Jesse, Kara Ryan has taken to Instagram to share an inspirational message about post-partum body positivity
The photo showed Kara wearing a blue crop top and a pair of black and pink gym shorts.
In a long caption, Kara said she had come to terms with not having the ‘perfect’ post-baby body.
‘I may not be glammed up ready for a photo shoot, have abs or in the latest gear, have a clean room or even a clear photo,’ Kara started the post.

She continued: ‘but this was real life, walking past my mirror the other day and realising how amazing women’s bodies are!!’
Kara also revealed in the liberating post that she had given up on chasing perfection in favour of a balanced, happy life.
‘Whilst I’m not back to my “pre baby body“ and it may not ever be, the thoughts can now leave my Head, that I must have to eat nothing but salad or get a tummy tuck (because I thought that many women must hide that they get them).

‘I can keep living trying to maintain a well balanced life knowing that the advice I was given was right..it takes up to 10 months to make a baby so you have to allow at least that for things to settle post baby,’ she concluded the post.
Kara’s followers were quick to throw their support behind the sentiment with the likes of: ‘You are an inspiration to all. Good on you for being a REAL role model for women. Btw you look fabulous just the way you are. Keep keeping it real’
Another offered a heartfelt thanks to Kara for posting, with: ‘Ur a friggin legend babe. Your real. True. Honest. Your a mum. Thanks for posting this xx’
