A mother-of-two is showing off her stunning physique in a series of enviable Instagram photos just a year after giving birth to twins.
Sonya Davison Sanchez, a television host based in Singapore, recently posted a throwback photo of herself in a bikini the day before she gave birth alongside another snapshot of herself holding her sons Tristan and Raiden in the same swimsuit nearly a year later.
‘The day before I gave birth vs today!’ she wrote on Instagram. ‘So amazed by what the human body is capable of.’
The image on the left sees Sonya wearing aqua bikini bottms and a floral triangle top while she was 35-weeks pregnant, and she is modeling the same bikini in the new photo.
But instead of flaunting her large baby bump, she is balancing her two boys, who are turning one on April 29.
Sharing a bikini photo of herself last September, Sonya explained how she was able to bounce back so quickly after giving birth.
‘A year ago, I made my husband promise to (pretend to) still love my body after I gave birth,’ she wrote. ‘During my pregnancy, I mentally prepared myself for a post-twins baby body. I had fully accepted it…
‘I, (like many) thought that it wouldn’t be possible to get my body back after pregnancy (especially after seeing my ginormous twin belly). I was wrong.
‘I would come to realize that a combination of factors would lead to me losing my pregnancy weight within just three weeks of giving birth.’
Sonya went on to share her secret, noting that before she got pregnant she had ‘strong core muscles’ from doing high intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts out home.
‘I only gained what I needed to,’ she said of her pregnancy. ‘You don’t literally have to “eat for two” when you’re pregnant.
‘I gained mostly on my tummy, so I only had to lose that extra weight, which is a whole lot easier than the whole body.’
Sonya added that she walk for two to three hours ever other day to keep her metabolism up while she was pregnant and credits exclusively breastfeeds her boys to helping her reach her pre-pregnancy weight.
‘When you breastfeed your stomach contracts which helps your uterus shrink quicker – times that by two (preemie babies that fed hourly) and you have the perfect storm,’ she said.
The mom often shares photos of herself nursing her boys, including one scenic shot that sees her nursing one of her sons at an outdoor restaurant in front of a pier.
Three months after she gave birth she said she started doing simple 20-minute HIIT workout routines at home, and a year after welcoming her twins into the world, it looks like the mom is back in fighting shape.
Sonya has fulled embraced her postpartum body, and she proudly paid homage to the stretch marks on her stomach last month.
