VOTE BELOW!VOTE BELOW!Jennifer Garner says she embraces her body changed after giving birth to three children.
The "Yes Day" star appeared on the "Happy Mum, Happy Baby" podcast, where she told host Giovanna Fletcher that despite what people may think, she doesn't have a "bounce back" bod.
"There are some incredible women whose bodies just, no matter how many babies they have, they bounce right back to that slim-hipped, no stomach," Garner said. "It's incredible. I have so many girlfriends who have that physique, and I'm so happy for them. I am not one of them. That is not my gig."
Garner, who shares daughters Violet, 15, Seraphina,12, and son, Samuel, 9, with ex-husband Ben Affleck said that for the rest of her life she will look like a woman who's had kids and doesn't mind it one bit.
"I can work really hard, and I can be really fit and I will still look like a woman who's had three babies, and I always will," she said.
She also addressed the constant pregnancy rumors surrounding her, saying that she's definitely not.
"It's still happening. I'm 48, and I'm single. And it's still happening, so you might as well take that bull by the horns," she said, adding, "It's just a body. Be grateful to it. It carried you this far. It carried babies for you. What else do you want? My goodness." VOTE BELOW!
No I do not. A female body is beautiful no matter what.
Yes. I admit it. I do have a problem with a woman's post-baby body.
Flaws of a mom's body? I look past all that. I focus instead on the body of her teenage daughter.

Do You Have a Problem with a Woman's Postpartum Body?
I suppose you could call them battle scars. But does it look attactive on a guy? I suppose if you both look the same it might be comforting. But I think it's important note that smooth unblemished skin is always preferred. It's not always what there is but I think it's safe to say that it is the goal.
That being said, there is a place of love and acceptance. You love that person with your whole heart so you accept every part of them.
I think it would depend on the individual woman. I have two daughters. The older is a "true junior", and her recovery to pre-three-kids shape was quick and nearly 100%. The younger is a "missy", and her recovery to pre-three-kids shape is still in process, and - likely- will never be anywhere as near complete. But we still love them both!
Nah my body is the best postpartum. I get pornstar boobs while I'm breastfeeding and can eat whatever I want since i burn so many calories during that time. Also that is when my husband finds me the most attractive so for me it's great but I can see why other women might hate it since everyone's body is different after a baby.
A husband who makes complains or makes fun of your postpartum body, does not love you for who you are. You need to leave. Because he's gonna have the same complaint about you , once you hit your 40s when wrinkles and white hairs start to form.
So Imma single dude who never got anyone pregnant (I don't want kids), and thats why I find it a bit weird how most women were never told that rubbing coco butter on your belly during pregnacy prevents those stretch marks, and yet I know about it. Anyway it's what my mom did, she has no stretch marks despite me hanging around longer than normal in there, and no scars despite me being a c-section, because (if i remember correctly) she requested the surgery go through the belly button.
Honestly don't care what the article says, I've seen articles saying babies don't feel pain and the earth is flat, and one claiming quantum mechanics is magic, and one saying voting for a president is a democratic process, neither if which has any truth to it.
The evidence I've personally observed is that it helps hydrate the skin and keep its elasticity, if it's actual coco butter, and you aren't allergic to it, thats true, so provided there is no counter measures disrupting it, it works.
Now you can sit here and say that a person who doesn't drink enough water or has chronic health issues or difficulties during pregancy etc. got stretch marks anyway, and say it doesn't work, or you can say, ok, foot pedals in a car work, but you also have to have a working foot and a car thats not broken (good health and coco butter thats not full of junk or fake ingedients). nothing works under every situation.
I've seen things, too. I've seen people post that something works even when evidence suggests it doesn't. LOL! I'm not against cocoa butter but people may be disappointed when stretch marks still appear despite slathering up the tummy with generous amounts of it.
I mean I'm not disappointed in apple juice just cuz that one time it didn't help me poop, interestingly enough I am disappointed that condoms aren't 100% effective. (odd how people still use those) but ok lol. anyway it does work to lower the risk of it.
@TheSpaceGnome is your decision to not have kids based on this and other physical changes or completely different reasons? No judgement though. My mom also stressed the use of Cocoa butter and Rosehip oil (also not gaining so much weight during pregnancy as yes, that can be controlled as you shouldn’t be eating for two) and she has zero stretch marks. Yes, even after 5 kids.
Honestly, I can't answer that because some women do look better after pregnancy and some women don't so when I get my wife pregnant than i will decide what to do afterwards
Not really but her postpartum attitude needs changing. We get it, you are no longer pregnant, whether you lost it or had it.. but really, life goes on. Take a day or whatever and get back to work, don't sulk around
I know why they had me. Because my father was a rapist and a pedophile, and because my mother’s parents where fanatical Christians who wouldn’t allow their teenage daughter to get an abortion.
@supercutebutt she doesn't mean deliberately ruin their bodies by having a child. she was referring to ruining their bodies like in the second picture you posted. the woman in the second picture flat out ruined her body that's what @ms_vanderquack was driving at
I'm not sure what you mean by that. My wife's body after having 3 of my children? No I don't have a problem at all. If I were single? I wouldn't have a problem, it happens, but I wouldn't be dating a single mother anyway.
I personally wouldn't care if Im dating a woman whis had a baby it woukdnt matter. Granite I know women are uncomfortable showing their bodies. But if im in love it truelly doesn't matter to me.
I voted before I saw the third choice, but I think the correct answer is: I don't have a problem with it, but I'm also not interested in that woman romantically, oh, and how can I unsee the 2nd picture! OMG!
depends on the extent of it. if it's anything like the vote B picture then yes that's absolutely disgusting. but usually on average i would say no no problem with it at all.
