Charles H. Sloan-Cardi B Defends Decision to Work Out Again One Week After Welcoming Baby No. 3

“Late night gym session,” she wrote in her initial post. “No heavy lifting, no weight just straight stair master until next week.”

She added as a word of caution, “Remember ladies this is my third baby… with my other 2 babies I was still on bedrest on the first week postpartum.”

The Grammy winner added that critics “dragged” her for gaining 15 pounds while five months pregnant, adding, “But now yall fake concerned and wanna talk about pressure??? Y’all said I was pregnant to avoid working now that you see I’m still at it it’s something else?? So yeah I’m taking this personal but its FOR ME because either way y’all are gonna have something to say.”

She concluded, “I just was never the type to care about snap back after birth. I don’t know what it is about this time around but I have this burst of energy where I want to do EVERYTHING… It’s like I want to complete all my goals in one day.”

Cardi and Offset welcomed their daughter on Sept. 7, sharing behind-the-scenes footage from her birth, while opting not to share images of the baby's face or her name.

The “Bongos” rapper announced her pregnancy—just hours after filing for a divorce from the 32-year-old rapper—on Aug. 1 in a baby bump Instagram post captioned, "With every ending comes a new beginning! I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power! Reminded me that I can have it all!"
