Chanel West Coast gave birth to a baby girl by emergency C-section.
She’s come to appreciate her scar and the “sassy” little girl that came with it.
The Ridiculousness star says her stomach is taking longer to go down postpartum.

Ridiculousness star Chanel West Coast explained why she’s come to appreciate her c-section scar and the “sassy” little girl that came with it in an exclusive interview.

The Ridiculousness star is reflecting on her postpartum journey and the changes she is experiencing more than a month after undergoing an emergency C-section to deliver a baby girl named Bowie.

“I had to have a C-section, which was not something that I had any idea would have to happen,” Chanel revealed in an exclusive interview. “I have a scar now that’s not something I really wanted.” As for her tummy itself, “I’ve always had a pretty flat stomach and my stomach is taking a lot longer to go down,” she says of her stomach.

However, after the second week of motherhood, the 34-year-old singer reported that her scar was improving and her body was adjusting.

“It’s a little bit of a struggle because it’s not the exact body I’m used to before being pregnant,” she admitted. Though it has undoubtedly shifted her perspective. “It’s funny because I’ll go and look back at pictures from when I was really skinny and I can’t believe I ever thought with that body that I was fat.”

And, yes, Chanel is aware that it has been a month, but she hopes that her candour will resonate with others going through the emotional postpartum period.

Chanel hopes that by sharing her story, she can inspire other women who are unhappy with their bodies after giving birth. She also promotes body positivity through her swimwear line, Coasty Swim.

Chanel and her boyfriend Dom Fenison will travel to Miami at the end of the year to ring in 2023. The designer hopes to model some of her bikinis while there and celebrate all that her body has done for her.

“My body’s not going to be where I wanted it to be and that’s okay,” she explained. “I’m fully ready to take pictures in the bikinis with whatever body I have at the time and feel confident in it. If the more low-cut bikinis happen to show my scar, that’s fine. It’s the scar from giving birth to my child. It is something that I’m excited to show the world that you can model a bikini in any body even right after giving birth.”

Chanel is enjoying every moment with her baby girl until her departure. Baby Bowie has kept Mom on her toes in just one month, with unpredictable sleep schedules and even a little “sassy” attitude.

“I had a great body and I think that after being pregnant, you appreciate your body so much more,” she said. “You realize that this body just made a human and I’m just happy that she came out healthy and happy. I don’t think that any scar matters when you have this beautiful little child to look at every day.”
