Petra Murgatroyd Didn't Like Her Post-Baby Body

Peta Murgatroyd talked candidly about her first pregnancy in a new interview with Fit Pregnancy and Baby. The cover girl, who shares the spotlight with her son Shai, opened up about her weight gain and planning a wedding with fiance Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

“I still looked five months pregnant right after I gave birth,” the Dancing with the Stars pro, who gained 40 pounds during her pregnancy and said that her butt “got 10 times bigger,” shared with the mag. “A friend who came to the hospital said, ‘Oh, you sure there’s not another one in there?’ I laughed, then went into the bathroom and cried. I’d just had this beautiful kid. I was high on life. That was a joke that I didn’t need to hear. Back home, I didn’t recognize my body. I had massive DDD boobs. It was overwhelming. So I posted a selfie on Instagram as a way to reach out to other women. I’m a dancer who is usually pretty damn fit, and I looked like a different person. Now I know you have to give yourself time.”
