Ashley Darby Opens Up About Her Decision to Show Her Postpartum Body in a Bikini
The Real Housewives of Potomac mama revealed the inspiration behind her recent Instagram share.
Throughout her second pregnancy, Ashley Darby shared gorgeous photos of her changing body. At 39 weeks pregnant, The Real Housewives of Potomac mom posted a photo of herself wearing a form-fitting bodysuit and feeling "excited" about the impending arrival of her second son. And after the little one was born in March, the newly minted mother of two continued to share how her body was evolving.
Some three months after giving birth to Dylan, Ashley posed for an Instagram snap wearing a flirty, blue-and-white bikini, adding a flexed arm emoji in the caption. And in a recent Instagram Story, the Potomac mom opened up about her decision to post the snap.
As she lay in bed with little Dylan, the yoga enthusiast addressed her followers. "I really appreciate your feedback on the picture I posted," she said. "The reason that I posted that photo is because what has motivated me to take care of myself, to get healthy again, to feel good about myself, be who I am, is that there have been other women that have posted and I have just been so inspired by watching their journey."
She continued: "So if I can help anyone feel inspired to start their journey — because I'm still on mine, believe me — I would just be so happy about that. So, that's why I posted it."
