Kenya Moore: It"ll Be Weeks Before I Walk Again After C-Section

Just days ago, Kenya Moore welcomed her first child with husband Marc Daly.


It was a difficult, premature birth brought on by pregnancy complications.


Now, Kenya is opening up about her recovery, and the differences between real life and reality television.






“#realVsReality,” Kenya tagged her video, pointing at how real life and reality television are very different.


“#brooklyndaly came early,” she reminds her fans and followers of her newborn daughter.


“And the reality is,” Kenya continues. “It will take weeks for me to be able to walk without the excruciating pain of a C section.”


“And,” she says, it will takes weeks for her “to heal from the multiple cuts to my uterus.”


C-sections are no joke, folks.


But that didn’t stop Kenya from taking a motorized scooter on a tour of Target.






“Needed to get her some preemie items,” Kenya shares.


“So of course,” Kenya continues. “Off to @target we went.”


“My aunt Lisa is so afraid!” she admits.


Kenya then confesses: “I’m supposed to be in bed.”


The idea of going shopping just a few days after giving birth in any fashion is … a little alarming.


(Yes, some people gave birth and then went to go vote just hours later, but they are the exception, not the rule)


After a C-section, Kenya should be at home, being catered to and focusing on healing.



In April, Kenya revealed that she and Marc Daly were expecting their first child.


Six months later, on Halloween, Kenya revealed that there were complications with her pregnancy.


Kenya was diagnosed with preeclamsia, the three main symptoms of which are high blood pressure, swelling of hands and feet, and protein in urine.


Out of concern over this dangerous pregnancy condition, doctors and Kenya decided upon a C-section.


Her baby, Brooklyn Doris Daly, was removed from her uterus by skilled surgeons.


Brooklyn is considered premature, and weighs just 5 pounds and 12 ounces.



Despite her preemie status, Brooklyn is said to be alert and after.


Kenya explained how she and Marc chose their firstborn’s name.


“Brooklyn because that’s where we met and fell in love,” Kenya said.


“And Doris,” she continued. “After my grandmother who passed away last year and who raised me.”


Daly, of course, comes from the last name of her husband, Marc Daly.



Kenya Moore is not old in real life. She is 47 years old.


In terms of safely becoming pregnant, staying pregnant, and carrying a child to term, she is definitely within the upper extremes of age.


(That’s by the standards of the medical community — we’re not age-shaming her)


We’re sure that Kenya and Marc are so grateful that they were able to come through this pregnancy with both mother and baby alive and healthy.


Last year, they married each other. Now, just a year and a half later, they’re growing their family.



In all honesty, the trip to Target less than a week after a C-section sounds a little … far-fetched.


Target is a great place as far as liminal spaces are concerned, but Kenya going herself is odd.


We’re sure that Atlanta has delivery options (we don’t have to guess; we looked it up).


Also, Kenya has family and a husband who could have gone.


Either Kenya is just really specific about what she wants her baby to have and couldn’t wait a week …


… Or maybe this was an endorsement deal and she’s doing it for the cash.

Beyonce Reveals Emergency C-Section, A Million Other Things


Beyonce is many things:


Gorgeous. Talented. Impactful. Ahead of her time.


But one thing the singer has almost never been is this: candid.


The singer has maintained a level of privacy that is nothing short of amazing, considering her global level of fame.


HOWEVER, Beyonce is featured on the cover of Vogue"s September 2018 issue, opening up like never before about various aspects of her life.


Ready to be surprised and fascinated by the most successful solo female artist of all-time?S


Scroll down now!




1. The Biggest Revelation in the Interview


Beyonce for 2018 vogue

“I was 218 pounds the day I gave birth to Rumi and Sir,” Beyonce revealed in the lengthy captions the accompany the images shot by Tyler Mitchell in the issue, speaking on this traumatic experience for the first time ever.



2. Just How Dangerous Did It Get?

“I was swollen from toxemia and had been on bed rest for over a month,” she adds. “My health and my babies’ health were in danger, so I had an emergency C-section.” Wow, huh?



3. How Did Jay-Z Respond?

Like. A. Boss. Beyonce said her rapper husband was “a soldier and such a strong support system for me” during this time, adding: “I am proud to have been a witness to his strength and evolution as a man, a best friend, and a father. I was in survival mode and did not grasp it all until months later.”



4. What Did She Take Away from This Scary Ordeal?

“Today I have a connection to any parent who has been through such an experience,” the singer says. “After the C-section, my core felt different. It had been major surgery. Some of your organs are shifted temporarily, and in rare cases, removed temporarily during delivery. I am not sure everyone understands that.”



5. The New (And Awesome) Beyonce

Unlike Kim Kardashian and some other famous moms, Beyonce does NOT believe one needs to shed the baby weight ASAP. Or ever. “I needed time to heal, to recover. During my recovery, I gave myself self-love and self-care, and I embraced being curvier. I accepted what my body wanted to be … I was patient with myself and enjoyed my fuller curves. My kids and husband did, too … To this day my arms, shoulders, breasts, and thighs are fuller.”



6. FUPA FTW

“I have a little mommy pouch, and I’m in no rush to get rid of it,” the artist says. “I think it’s real. Whenever I’m ready to get a six-pack, I will go into beast zone and work my ass off until I have it. But right now, my little FUPA and I feel like we are meant to be.”

Chontel Duncan: Fit Mom Flaunts Abs 1 Week After C-Section!

We’ve spoken before about fitness model Chontel Duncan’s first pregnancy. As with other ultra-fit moms, her pregnancy turned out to be somewhat controversial.


Why? Well, because she was rocking a six pack throughout it. You know, like Sarah Stage.


Chontel is no stranger to backlash, so when she shares this pic of her post-baby body just a week after the birth of her second child, she went ahead and posted a rebuttal to any and all criticism that body-shamers were likely to throw her way.



Chontel shared this photo of herself.


She shared this only one week after giving birth, and she’s already giving people serious ab envy.


(And shower envy, if we’re being honest)


Chontel’s had to put up with every type of body-shaming, and even had ridiculous clickbait articles point the finger at her and mothers like her, accusing these fit moms of being responsible for “pregorexia,” which is not a real thing.


But it hurts just the same.


Talking about how she plans to get back into her workout routine as she recovers from her C-section was only going to be the target for more haters. She knew this.


So she was more than prepared for all of the comments that people were going to have about her post-baby bod, and decided to head htem off at the pass.



Writing in her Instagram captions, Chontel wrote:


“Now before anyone jumps down my throat saying anything negative think before you type; everyone is unique and different in their own special way. There is no ‘one’ journey or one way, this is my ‘normal’.”


Sad that she has to start it that way.


But, like we said, she’s more than accustomed to haters.


“No one is forced to follow my account/s, I openly share my life for all who appreciate it, that includes the highs and the lows. I am only one person, so therefore I cannot possible relate to everyone’s experience.”


Those are some really great points.


The ol’ “don’t like don’t follow” line definitely applies to Instagram, folks.


“If your instant response isn’t positive I challenge you to see beyond your negativity and find the kindness within.”


Immediate negativity says more about the commenter than what the commenter is seeing.



Chontel talks about how lucky she is.


“I was blessed to conceive, blessed to experience no sickness, I did experience discomfort & tiredness, but overall I had a very enjoyable pregnancy. Could not be more grateful I grew a full term 8 pound baby, delivering through c-section on the 20th Sept.”


That’s great for her and for the baby.


“A week later I took my first ‘post pregnancy’ progression photo. (As shown above) In a week’s time I start my very own 8 week transformation program @hiit_australia for the first few weeks it will be all about the nutrition plan.”


Again, she hada  C-section. She has a lot of recovery ahead of her.


“When I am given the all clear I will incorporate light walking and eventually be able to go back to training. I plan to keep you all up to date as I find my new routine as a mummy of 2 beautiful blessings. “


That sounds like a good plan.


Speaking of her blessings, Chontel postes a photo during her first pregnancy that really illustrated how differently one pregnant body can look from another.


In cases you needed to see the contrast, here she is towards the end of 2015:



At the time, Chontel captioned this photo for full context:


“I was surprised with a cute visit today from a friend Nat who is also expecting.”


Both of these children were born in 2016, of course.


“Just being able to see someone in the flesh, rub her tummy, hear how incredible her journey has been so far, how healthy baby is & all the fun talk about kicks, food, names etc was beautiful.”


Cute!


“This is Nat’s 3rd pregnancy so she had a lot of great advice to share. It’s very clear in this photo just how tall I am, I mean my chin sits above Nat’s head lol.”


This was Chontel’s first pregnancy. She’s now had two babies.


“We worked out that we are 4 weeks apart, so our little ones will be the same age, same grade at school and potential best buds hehehehe….. Nat’s due start of March & I’m due end of March.”


Awwww!


“Each women carries different and this most certainly doesn’t mean one is doing something wrong or not healthy etc. We both have healthy growing babies & we both have had incredible pregnancies so far, feeling amazing & full of energy.”


That’s a great lesson. One that we hope that people can remember before they write hateful things.


If you’re in the market for some photos of another woman who carries her pregnancies as tightly — or more so — than Chontel, look no further than Sarah Stage:
