You'll probably hate her after reading this, but a British model has the industry reeling after returning to the catwalk just nine days after giving birth. 32-year-old stunner, Anna Freemantle, was in front of the cameras less than two weeks after the birth of baby Leo.
The model, who has strutted her stuff with the likes of Moss and Naomi Campbell, says women shouldn't have to choose between motherhood and a career. And she is already gearing up to do a sexy underwear shoot.
"[Pregnancy] made me realize is how lucky I've always been never to have felt particularly hindered by my body. I guess a bit of good genes in terms of the elasticity of the skin with no stretch-marks whatsoever as a result was pure luck .... and a lot of bio oil for the stretch marks."
After being spotted by an agency scout while working as a bartender in London, the 5ft 11" beauty has modelled for some of the biggest names in fashion. The birth of her first son Max, now three, didn't slow the hard-working model down.
"When I found out I was pregnant the first time I thought that was it for my modelling career, but I was wrong. Having children has never stopped me. I love my children but I think I would get bored if I stopped working."
It's all well and good that her body bounced back so quickly, but shouldn't she have allowed more time to bond with her baby before rushing back to work? What do you think is the ideal amount of maternity leave?
