Bethany Hamilton Recalls ‘Rebuilding’ ‘Accepting’ The ‘New Version’ Of Her Body After Giving Birth
Ten days after giving birth, professional wrestler Ronda Rousey admitted she felt like she lost ‘a lifetime of muscle.’ Most women feel similarly about their postpartum bodies, hardly recognizing them as their own after growing life for 9 months and delivering a newborn. For professional surfer Bethany Hamilton, who is a mother of three, this was certainly the case, and is still and ongoing journey. “It’s a wild journey that’s so beautiful, yet so challenging,” she told HollywoodLife.com in an EXCLUSIVE interview. “Now, having three children, my third only seven months ago, I’ve learned to be more patient and slow with myself and ‘getting after it’ and I’m okay with that. I’m accepting myself as I am.”
