Ridiculousness star Chanel West Coast explains why she appreciates her c-section scar

• Chanel West Coast had an emergency C-section to birth a baby girl called Bowie.
• She hopes her candidness will help other women going through the same thing.
• “It’s not the exact body I’m used to,” she says. Chanel is promoting body positivity by selling swimsuits under the Coasty Swim brand.

Mamas-to-be, take note: What to anticipate when you’re not expecting is what Chanel West Coast is here to discuss.

The Ridiculousness star is taking stock of her postpartum experience and the changes she is going through more than a month after having an emergency C-section to birth a baby girl called Bowie.

“I had to have a C-section, which was not something that I had any idea would have to happen,” Chanel told E! News 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.”

But after the second week of motherhood, the 34-year-old singer said she started to see her scar improving and her body 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’s certainly 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.”

Chanel is aware that a month has passed, but she yet hopes that her candour will resonate with other women going through the difficult postpartum period. Chanel hopes that by sharing her experience, other new mothers who don’t feel fantastic about their bodies will be motivated. Additionally, she promotes body positivity by selling swimsuits under the Coasty Swim brand.

Chanel will go to Miami at the end of the year to ring in 2023 with her lover Dom Fenison. The fashion designer intends to showcase some of her bikinis while she’s there and appreciate what her body has done for her.

“My body’s not going to be where I wanted it to be and that’s okay,” she said. “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.”

Until her getaway, Chanel is savoring every moment with her baby girl. In just the first month, baby Bowie has kept Mom on her toes with unpredictable sleep schedules and even a little “sassy” attitude.

She’ll take the ‘tude and the new figure, though, because of everything that comes with it.

“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.”
