The star shared a photo of herself posing in black lingerie, looking happy as she poses confidently in her bedroom. In the caption, Melissa wrote: “A reminder that belly overhang affects LOADS of us, pregnancy related or not.
It affects people of all shapes and sizes, sometimes it’s fat, sometimes it’s skin, sometimes it’s as a result of a scar, sometimes it’s temporary, ALWAYS it’s beautiful.” “It doesn’t have to be something you’re ashamed of, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re unhealthy, and you’re most certainly not alone.” She finished her post with: “Hands up who’s got a lil belly overhang?” Melissa’s followers loved the honest post, with many chiming in with their own stories.
One wrote: “Amen i have overhang due to 3 section scars! Proud of my “mumbod” though. Housed 3 babies who are all happy and thriving in life”.
