Mom has perfect reaction to being told she'd need to spend $20,000 on 'mommy makeover': 'Here's what happened'

A mom is firing back at someone who said her body needed an expensive “mommy makeover.”

Decode and demystify Gen Z's latest online slang terms with In The Know's new glossary.

Rachel Pedersen is a social media and marketing expert with over 903,000 TikTok followers. The mother of three from Minnesota shares everything from career advice to personal stories. Pedersen isn’t shy about getting real about her “mom bod” either. She shows off her “stretched” tummy skin and diastasis recti, a common postpartum condition where the abdominal muscles separate.

“After having three kids, I was told I would need a ‘mommy makeover’ for $10,000 to $20,000. Here’s what happened,” Pedersen wrote in a video caption.

Pedersen then lifted up her sweater to expose her belly. She let it all hang out as she danced around proudly.

“Mom bodies are beautiful. Natural, enhanced, stretchy. I’m gonna love mine,” Pedersen said.

The video garnered 2.4 million views. People praised her self-love and confidence.

“Amen. There’s nothing bad about being natural. We should love and be proud of our bodies and all that they’ve accomplished,” one person said.

“Your videos are making me start to LOVE my mom body,” another wrote.

“You are giving me confidence. I have such bad fear and anxiety, but this made me feel so good, thanks,” a user commented.
