Tiffiny Hall reduced to tears over relatable postnatal body battle: ‘It’s going to take time’ – 9Honey

She is known for keeping it real with her social media audience.

And now personal trainer turned author and entrepreneur Tiffiny Hall has shared an emotional video with her Instagram followers, in which she admits how hard it is to accept it will take time to get her body back after the recent birth of her second child.

Hall announced she and TV and radio funnyman Ed Kavalee welcomed daughter Vada on May 30, uploading a black and white photo to her Instagram account the following day.

"Arnold's little sister has arrived. Welcome Vada Kavalee30.5.2022," she captioned the post.

Since then, she has shared several photos with her Instagram followers, including one of her in her underwear while holding Vada in her arms.

"Home from hospital with Vada," she wrote on June 5. "Juggling post partum recovery, nurturing the sibling relationship so no one feels left out, sleep deprivation and feeding. Let the fourth trimester begin. The washing can wait! Any tips?" and the hashtag #bounceforward.

But it was a more emotional Hall who took to Instagram with a two-minute video she posted along with the comment, "Bouncing forward is important but no one said it would be easy."

Sitting in the living room of her home, Hall started by thanking everyone who had left congratulations following Vada's birth before passing on a message to anyone who is pregnant or had just given birth.

"I just really wanted to say how important it is to bounce forward and that it's not easy ... to bounce forward and take the pressure off," she said.

"Even I am standing in the mirror, looking at my new body Vada's house my big bump, and it's really hard to accept that it's going to take time," she said, before dissolving into tears.

"You know, anyway, super emotional too," she continued.

"But, it is going to take time and healing takes time, and it depends what birth you had. For me, I've got a few stitches and stuff's going on, so it's all a bit painful, but she's absolutely beautiful and worth it."

Hall also said she was taking the opportunity to explain to her four-year-old that it took a bit of time for bodies to go back to normal.

"Arnie keeps asking why my tummy is so big. Bless him, no filter. He keep saying, 'Is there another baby in there Mum?'

"And it's hard to accept it but you have to take one day at a time.

"You have to be kind to yourself and you can't let those negative thoughts enter the brain because everything the mind says the body hears. You've really got to remember that.

"So I am sending love to everybody, especially those who have just had a baby, who are up late feeding, who are doing the brutal hours [that] newborn babies require."

In another video she uploaded just today, Hall shows off her pregnant belly then turns away to the camera before turning back, this time with her baby in her arms.

She uploaded the video with the comment, "One week old postpartum with Vada," and the hashtags #BounceForward.

Many followers rushed to thank her for her honesty.

"Thank you so much for being so real," one wrote. "I remember the very day I had my first baby, I got up from the hospital bed to go to the bathroom and my mother-in-law asked me when the next baby was due. I was both shocked and devastated. It was less than eight hours after giving birth. It's so refreshing that you're normalising postpartum recovery for the mums of the future."

Prior to Vada's birth, Kavalee took to the airwaves of his radio show to call out the people who commented on his wife's changing body while she was pregnant, before she joined in, admitting she had been reduced to tears by the cruel jibes.
