"  The new mom had only shared selfies of her face, which fueled the big reveal rumors.  After months (yes, months) of speculation and news reports that Kim Kardashian would not appear in public for the first time since giving birth until she had lost the 50 pounds she gained while pregnant with baby North, the &amp;quot;big reveal&amp;quot; has finally happened. And you know what? It wasn&amp;#039;t such a major to-do after all.  Early this morning, TMZ published photos of Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, and the baby&amp;#039;s nanny taking North to a doctor&amp;#039;s appointment. Not only that\u2014in the photos, Kim is wearing leggings, a button-down chambray shirt (easy access for breast-feeding), and flat, comfortable boots. Her hair is loose and potentially unbrushed. In other words, she looks like a new mom taking her new baby to the doctor.  Although we&amp;#039;re only talking about a few grainy paparazzi shots, they&amp;#039;re part of a larger, more significant picture. After years of scrutinizing celebrities&amp;#039; post-baby bodies to laud how quickly they &amp;quot;lost the baby weight,&amp;quot; both famous moms and the public are fighting back. In our September cover story, Kristen Bell, who posed for the photos shortly after having daughter Lincoln, said &amp;quot;I refused to worry about something I could not change, and I still refuse...I had to surrender to not worry about the way I looked, how much I weighed, because that&amp;#039;s just part of the journey of having a baby.&amp;quot; Bell received an outpouring of support from moms who agree.  When Kate Middleton left the hospital after giving birth to Prince George, blogs rushed to write about how she &amp;quot;still had a baby belly.&amp;quot; Since celebrities usually go into hiding after having children, people unfamiliar with how pregnancy and giving birth works didn&amp;#039;t know this is what women who have just had a baby look like. Middleton&amp;#039;s post-baby bump was actually a teaching moment that again helped reframe our image of how a new mom really looks. And so we&amp;#039;d like to send a message of gratitude to famous moms like Kim, Kristen, and Kate. Slowly but surely, they&amp;#039;re weaning the public from its rabid post-baby-weight-loss obsession, one photo at a time. Maybe one day in the near future, photos of new moms can run without the words &amp;quot;reveal&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;baby weight&amp;quot; anywhere nearby.
