Former Big Brother star Krystal Forscutt shows off her post-baby body in a series of candid images

Former Big Brother star Krystal Forscutt isn’t afraid to be open and honest with her fans about the reality of childbirth and motherhood.

And in a recent Instagram post, the mother of three shared an empowering message while urging new mothers to not pay attention to the scales after having a baby.

Krystal, 33, shared two side-by-side images of herself nursing her newborn son, Husky, five days after giving birth and seven weeks later, saying that despite looking slimmer, she weighs the exact same. 

‘Seven weeks in between these two images… and this is why you shouldn’t trust the number on the scales I guess,’ Krystal wrote.

‘I weigh exactly the same as I did just five days after giving birth! By the way, would you look at him all snuggled in. I can’t believe how much he has grown already!’

Krystal and her husband, property developer Neil Hipwell, welcomed their third child, Husky, in September. 

She regularly shares pictures of her trim post-baby body on social media.

In July, the former men’s magazine model revealed how her husband helped her overcome her body insecurities while pregnant.

The personal trainer shared a lengthy post on Instagram, saying Neil loves her figure, even if she has a ‘cottage cheese bum, varicose veins and hail damage’.

Krystal explained that Neil sweetly tells her she’s the ‘most attractive she’s ever been’ while pregnant.

‘Once upon a time I would have never even let him see me without a full face of makeup, but now I feel like I’ve got absolutely nothing left to hide, I guess once they’ve witnessed you giving birth nothing is sacred anymore right!?’ 

In May, Krystal shared a very honest post exposing the reality of ‘Insta-perfect’ pregnancies.

The influencer revealed how some pregnant women make themselves look toned and flawless on Instagram by striking very specific poses.

She shared side-by-side selfies to demonstrate how posing differently in each one had completely changed her appearance.

She explained that when taking pregnancy selfies, women have the opportunity to either highlight the flattering changes to their bodies or ‘fixate on the flaws’. 

‘Pregnancy can look very different depending on what we choose to focus our attention on. We have a choice to either fixate on the “flaws”, the changes our body is going through that maybe aren’t as welcomed as others,’ began Krystal.

‘Or we can choose to take the good with the not so good and shift our focus to the amazing transformations our body is going through. Thanking it for all that it has done and continues to do for us, commending it for being such an incredible vessel that can create and carry life within it.

‘Let’s challenge our own minds, let’s take on those silly thoughts we all have about ourselves at times and drown them out with gratitude because after all, just because something isn’t “perfect” does it really make it any less beautiful.’
