Losing her baby weight is one thing Sia Cooper won't have to worry about.
The new mom, who's also a fitness blogger, shared the ultimate 'fitspiration' photo of her post-pregnancy body on Instagram. "No makeup. No filters. No photoshop. Just sleepy ole me," she captioned the bathroom selfie. “While some may say I snapped back rather quickly, my body is still very soft, but I absolutely am loving my postpartum body because it grew and birthed a human being! "How cool is that? Muscle memory is also an amazing thing and proof that hard work really does pay off during pregnancy — even when you’re feeling as big as a house.” Sia, who is also mom to a 2-year-old son, was so dedicated to her workout routine that she even trained on the day she went into labour. "The day I went into labor, I actually did incline training for an hour along with dumbbell curls and barbell squats. I got a great last workout in before my daughter decided to make her grand appearance!" she told People magazine.
"I have a long way to go, but I'll get there. I've been focusing on a clean postpartum diet, but also taking in an insane number of calories to nurse a toddler and a newborn," she wrote on Instagram.

There are no words to describe those little kicks on the inside and I cannot believe that my daughter is already 6 days old. But to have her here on the outside has been such a sweet experience." The ripped mom has also hit back at critics who have "fit-shamed her".
"My postpartum body has been called "unrealistic," "unhealthy," "boastful," and "selfish"," she revealed on Instagram. Read more: You won’t believe this model’s pregnancy abs!

"Boastful? Hell yeah! I worked my ass off during pregnancy so pardon me if I'm a little proud of myself."
