Women Are Posting Their Post-Birth Pics After Kate Middleton’s Flawless Photos To Show How Different It Was For Them
After the birth of their third child, Prince William and The Duchess of Cambridge did what royal family is expected to do and presented the youngest heir to the throne of the family for the world to see.
Kate Middleton was, as you would expect from a royal, well-groomed and putting on her best face, despite giving birth just hours previously. Some people were shocked however, by just how amazing she looked, flawless and still sporting that pregnancy glow in full makeup and heels. This has prompted a variety of responses, from sympathy for the amount of pressure she must experience to look her best even hours postpartum, to criticism for creating impossibly high expectations for other women.
But the best responses are from those new moms who are sharing their own hilariously real and disheveled post-birth photos. Not everyone has the luxury of a team of makeup and hair professionals at their disposal!
Obviously, the Duchess was just doing her job and probably loves these tongue-in-cheek comparisons. Giving birth is seriously hard work, and while Kate is required to go out into the glare of the media spotlight and be a role model, most women prefer a hard-earned rest and a square meal. Scroll down to check out the hilariously real post-natal comparisons for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!
Kate Middleton is known for looking flawless on all occasions and giving birth is no exception. Here’s how she looked just hours after giving birth to her third child

And some were setting new goals for themselves in life

Share on FacebookIt's almost like Kate is somehow related to the future King of England or something... with access to superior health care and their many members of staff and unlimited funds... Oh wait, hang on...
the best healthcare in the world doesn't magic a baby out of your vagina...
Load More Replies...Okay, I have a bit of an unrelated question - why does everyone keep talking about her as "Kate Middleton", when she hasn't been Kate Middle ton for 7 years? (Round of applause for all mothers - I really can't understand your powers.)
Because they lack the knowledge perhaps? She's Kate Mountbatten-Windsor. I seriously doubt a family as old fashioned as the Royals would have let her keep her maiden name! She correctly should be referred to as Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.. Some people abbreviate it to Kate Cambridge as it's less of a mouthful. Kate Middleton is not her name now as she took William's surname upon marriage and they try very hard to get people to refer to her as Catherine. That's the name William uses in public. The celebrities mentioned might only use their maiden names as that is the name they had when they became famous. Catherine Zeta Jones is known as Mrs Douglas outside of her work. Cate Blanchett is Cate Upton. Using their maiden names gets them a degree of anonymity should they want it.

It also depends on how easy the birth was. After my first C-section I didn't know what reality was until the 3rd day and after my 2nd C-section I was walking up and down the hallways in the hospital 2 hours after surgery.
Exactly !!! She had a rather quick delivery, a lot of make up, and it's only for 5 minutes in front of the cameras.
