Here’s the truth: motherhood changes everything, including how we see ourselves. Daphne Oz, the daughter of the famous Dr. Oz, recently shared her raw and real thoughts about her postpartum body after welcoming her fourth child, Giovanna Ines Jovanovic, in August. She’s not just another mom trying to "bounce back" to her pre-baby shape—she’s embracing the process with grace and determination. Let’s dive into what she had to say and why her words are so inspiring.
Breaking Down the Postpartum Journey
In an Instagram post that's been making waves, the 33-year-old mom shared a candid photo of herself in a green athletic bra and leggings, accompanied by a heartfelt caption. It was just ten weeks after giving birth, and Daphne had completed her second real workout since becoming a mom of four. She wrote, "Everyone starts somewhere," and added the hashtag "#10weekspostpartum." The caption went on to say, "Just got sweaty and it felt so GOOD!! Only my second real workout since having Gigi." That’s right—this mom is taking it one step at a time, and she’s proud of it.

Why the Slow-and-Steady Approach?
Daphne isn’t rushing to get back to her pre-pregnancy weight, and that’s something we can all applaud. In the same post, she explained, "I’m not in a rush, I just want to start to feel my core again and strength in my skin." It’s all about consistency and small, manageable steps. For many moms, the postpartum period can feel overwhelming, but Daphne’s message is clear: it’s okay to take your time. The journey is just as important as the destination.
Fans Cheer On Daphne’s Honesty
Her fans were quick to respond with love and support. One commenter wrote, "Thank you for this post and for continuing to be open. You got this!" Another chimed in, "Thanks for keeping it real. You are beautiful." A third fan gushed, "You are so inspiring!" It’s clear that Daphne’s honesty resonates with people who are navigating their own paths through motherhood.
This isn’t the first time Daphne has been vocal about body positivity. Back in 2014, during an interview with Glamour, she opened up about how her perspective on weight and body image shifted after giving birth to her first child. She recalled, "Becoming pregnant was one of the first moments where I felt no body-consciousness whatsoever. I felt incredibly powerful, like a goddess." But the reality after childbirth can be tough. "Then you give birth and you [have a] warped perception … you’re suddenly like, 'OK great, I’ll go back to my pre-baby body,' and that does not happen," she admitted.
Acceptance and Priorities
For Daphne, accepting her postpartum body wasn’t just about losing weight—it was about shifting priorities. "It’s a lot harder to lose now, and, more importantly than that, it’s not my number one priority," she said. "I’m thinking about my daughter all the time, and that’s what’s kind of interesting, as a mom coming back to work, you make trade-offs." It’s a powerful reminder that motherhood changes us in ways that go far beyond physical appearance.
