Arjun Rampal and Gabriella Demetriades welcomed their baby boy on July 18th. Just 11 days after having a normal delivery, the South-African model shared pictures of her body transformation post giving birth. And we have to say, her transformation is jaw-dropping!

And going by what she had posted, it looks like the actress had lost a lot of weight in a span of just 11 days. The actress credits her weight loss journey to her continuous workout sessions. Gabriella also shared another picture which was taken a week before her delivery. The model said that she never quit working out throughout her pregnancy. Gabriella had gained 21 kgs by the time she was in her 9th month of pregnancy. She said that it was not easy to see her body go through that, but she trusted the whole process. She continued exercising during her pregnancy, perhaps not the same level as before. Working out 5 days a week, eating in moderation, and resting when her body needed it is how she managed her weight during her pregnancy phase.

She further added how we care so much about our looks, but very little about how we feel inside. She feels grateful and blessed to have had a normal delivery and believes that the human body is amazing. She stated she watched as she brought life into this world and couldn’t care less about how she looked while doing it. All she cared was if her little one is healthy and happy, and now she is on the road to get her old self back.
Gabriella also encouraged women to not stop their regime during pregnancy. All you got to do is move, eat right, and treat yourself every once in a while. She credited prenatal yoga for keeping her pelvic floor strong. She also reminded everyone to be patient with their mind and body, and to remember that everybody is different.

Arjun and Gabriella have been dating for over a year now. He was earlier married to Mehr, a former Miss India and renowned Indian supermodel. Arjun has two kids, Mahikaa and Myraa from his two-decade-long marriage with his estranged wife.
Most often, we see women beat themselves up over the few pounds they put on during pregnancy. It’s imperative for all moms to take their own time to get back to their normal self. While it’s great to take inspiration from women like Gabriella, know that there’s no hard and fast rule in getting back into shape. Each body is different and is bound to undergo the side effects of natural delivery or C-section. Enjoy your time with the baby, eat right, and the rest will be taken care of.
