"There she was, gorgeous Gisele Bundchen, hanging on a beach in Costa Rica with baby Vivian and rocking&amp;amp;#8212;wait, was that a string bikini? Three months after giving birth? What the what? Gisele, left, and reader Kristin, both exactly 102 days post-birth. Hello, perspective. (And hi, babies!) No one&amp;amp;#8217;s begrudging Gisele her genes. But the picture makes you wonder: What does your average nonsupermodel look like 15 weeks postpartum? To give you an idea, Kristin Ford, 32, a social-media consultant from Lansdale, Pennsylvania, let Glamour photograph her and son Parker at the same number of days postpartum as Gisele and Vivian. Ford looks great&amp;amp;#8212;but she expected better: &amp;amp;#8220;I had this idea that my body would bounce back after pregnancy,&amp;amp;#8221; she says. &amp;amp;#8220;I&amp;amp;#8217;m still waiting. I&amp;amp;#8217;m bigger everywhere&amp;amp;#8212;even in my knees!&amp;quot; So how do Hollywood moms do it? With the best trainers money can buy&amp;amp;#8212;plus the threat of losing out on work. &amp;amp;#8220;Celebrities experience a scary amount of pressure to drop the pounds,&amp;amp;#8221; says trainer Ramona Braganza. &amp;amp;#8220;Their careers depend on it.&amp;amp;#8221; Jessica Alba was in a swimsuit for a Campari ad not long after she had her first baby. &amp;amp;#8220;She did light weights two weeks postpartum and intervals on the treadmill by week five,&amp;amp;#8221; Braganza says. Minimal downtime is the norm: &amp;amp;#8220;I trained Meg Ryan the morning she went into the hospital,&amp;amp;#8221; says trainer Kathy Kaehler, who adds that she was at Julia Roberts&amp;amp;#8217; door five weeks after the actress delivered twins (twins!). Doesn&amp;#x27;t exactly make you want to switch places with the stars, right? Bottom Line: Cut yourself some slack if you&amp;amp;#8217;ve got a newborn: Your body just, y&amp;amp;#8217;know, made another body. Focus on getting gentle exercise and lots of protein, calcium, and vitamin D (to help rebuild muscle and bone)&amp;amp;#8212;not on losing weight, says New York City cardiologist Holly Andersen, M.D. Ford&amp;#x27;s take: &amp;quot;If I&amp;#x27;m choosing between a workout and time with Parker, Parker wins. Who cares if I can&amp;#x27;t get my old pants over my thighs?&amp;quot; &amp;amp;#8212;With reporting by Rebecca Webber"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
