Meghan Markle praised for showing off her postpartum bump
MEGHAN Markle has been praised for showing off her post-baby bump as she introduced Baby Sussex to the world today.
Following in Kate Middleton's footsteps, the Duchess of Sussex didn't hide her stomach from the cameras as she proudly stood with her two best guys in the world.
Meghan Markle has been praised for showing off her post-baby bump - just like Kate Middleton before her
The pair have been named among some of the only celebs not to try and 'squeeze into size 8 jeans'
Speaking to Fabulous Digital, Dr Carol Cooper said: "I'm really pleased she hasn't tried to squeeze into size 8 jeans like a lot of celebs do.
"When they do that, they're actually doing something completely unnatural.
"They're usually starving themselves and exercising too much, which is the last thing you should be doing when you've got a new baby.
"The only exercises you should be doing at this point are pelvic floor exercises."

Say what you will about the royals but the only famous women I've seen proudly and publicly show off their post baby bellies have been Kate and Meghan. Not so long ago I was under the illusion that a pregnancy bump immediately flattened after labour.

With the pictures some celebs post, it could be easy to think you simply 'snap back' into shape after having a baby.
But medical professionals insist this expectation is completely false - and your bump doesn't just disappear when you give birth.
Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and Clinical Director of Patient.info , said: "The womb doesn’t shrink back to its normal size overnight.
"By the time you give birth, the womb has expanded to fit a full sized baby. It takes 6-8 weeks.
"Your body will also have been laying down fat stores to feed the baby, in case of sudden famine."
The dress shows Meghan still has a bump, which experts say is hardly surprising given that she only gave birth two days ago
It can take anywhere between 6 weeks and 4 months for the bump to disappear completely
Dr Carol agreed, adding: "You gain weight when you're pregnant, only about half of it is the baby.
"The rest of it is fatty tissue which you put on for hormone reasons, the oestrogen and other hormones for pregnancy make you gain fluid and fat.
"You don't lose it immediately, it takes time to get back to normal.
"Also the muscles are all loose after you've had a baby in there.
"The muscles are not holding your organs in quite as snuggly as they were before you were pregnant. All of that will return, but it's a really bad thing to rush it.
"You take nine months to get large, you're going to take four months or more to get back to normal."
If any mums are looking to speed things along, breastfeeding is a good place to start.
Dr Carol said: "Breastfeeding burns calories and makes the womb contract back down more quickly.
"That is the main benefit, it helps get the uterus back into shape and also means the mum loses less blood."
Doctors have warned the only exercises you should be doing at this point are pelvic floor ones

Adore the fact Meghan Marke looks so much more like most normal woman postpartum. Obvs she is glam AF here, but she actually looks like someone who just gave birth. Post baby bump, the natural baby weight and that lovely new mum glow

I don't care about royal families, but I do care about the history of pregnancy & reproduction - especially our cultural obsession with postnatal bodies. So I love that Meghan Markle chose an outfit that shows off her post-baby bump. #NormalizeIt
