Kara Ryan wants us to 'stop comparing' post-baby bodies

Four months after giving birth, Kara Ryan has a powerful message for new mums: Stop comparing your post-baby bodies.

And hear ye, hear ye.

Kara and her Footy Show host husband Beau Ryan welcomed their second child, baby Jesse, on July 29 this year.

Today the mum-of-two penned a refreshingly honest post on social media, reminding women that “comparison is the thief of joy”.

Posting a photo of herself at Flemington Racecourse on Derby Day, Kara admitted she almost didn’t share the stunning snap “for the fear of being compared to the other beautiful women” at the event.

“I felt very ‘post baby in this pic’!! Then I realised that I was comparing… Comparing to my pre-pregnancy body and comparing to all the women who ‘bounce back’ quicker than I,” she wrote.

The 31-year-old also offered a reminder that “we all have our own journey”.

Kara's post has already received almost 2000 likes, with many women coming out to show their support for Kara’s honesty.

Channel 9 sports reporter Sam Squiers wrote, “This was the first pic that came up on my feed this morning and my first reaction was ‘damn girl’ - you look stunning!”

Footy Show presenter Erin Molan added, “You look amazing. Divine. Perfection. Xxxxxx”

Others also commented on the image, telling Kara she looked “incredible” and “stunning” post baby and thanking her for her honesty.

“The truest and realest thing I’ve read for my Saturday - especially as mums we tend to do that a lot and not even realise it @kararyan and you still look banging post baby, sugar mama!”
